Springbok captain Siya Kolisi is upbeat about his recovery after knee surgery.
Amid fears that Kolisi might not make it to the Rugby World Cup in September, Springbok centre Lukhanyo Am said it would be a huge blow to the team if Kolisi does not win his race to be fully fit for the Cup in France later this year.
“It will be a huge blow to the team because Siya is an experienced player and captain who did it in 2019 by winning the World Cup,”“We need his experience going into this World Cup in France and we are hoping for the best for him, that he recovers in time and we have him at this World Cup.” he was hopeful Kolisi would bounce back before kickoff time.
“The bottom line is he's our captain and we won't replace him in that role. We'll have stand-ins,” he said. “With the three warm-up games we have, we believe in the way he's hitting those markers, he may feature in one of those. “Even if he's not 100% ready for the Scotland Test, it's a long way away from the World Cup final. With him being our captain, having been there and done that, it's maybe the match before the World Cup.”
