South Africa’s Rugby World Cup-winning captain, Siya Kolisi, is optimistic that he will be able to lead the Springboks in this year’s World Cup, despite a knee injury sustained in April, which partially tore his ACL. An initial prognosis was that Kolisi might need surgery, which would have ruled him out of the World Cup due to a nine-month recovery time. However, desperate not to miss the forthcoming tournament, Kolisi sought advice from several doctors and underwent surgery in late April. He is hopeful that he may even be able to contest the warm-up matches in August, stating: I’m feeling good, and my rehabilitation is going well. Kolisi has been with the Jacques Nienaber-led squad in Pretoria as South Africa prepares for the upcoming Rugby Championship. Their Rugby Championship concludes against the Pumas on July 30 in South Africa, following which they will head to Argentina to play a Rugby World Cup warm-up match on August 5.
