Good news from South Africa? The Springbok staff, through coach Jacques Nienaber, gave reassuring news from Siya Kolisi. The South African third-line victim of a partial rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee last April with the Sharks, had to pass on the billiards. Part of the selection with 75 selections and actor of the Webb-Ellis trophy in 2019, the new player of Racing 92 is gradually returning. Just like Handre Pollard, 3rd best director in the history of the Springboks.
Jacques Nienaber spoke last week about the potential returns of these two pillars of the selection: "We didn't think they could be back for the Rugby Championship (July 8-29) but rather just after, for the preparation matches with luck. With rehabilitation, we begin a program. And if there is swelling or a loss of movement somewhere, you take a step back, recalls Jacques Nienaber. But if all goes well, they will be with us for the friendly match against Wales.
