Kolisi blow for Boks

Cape Town - Stormers and Springbok flank Siya Kolisi is set to miss the Rugby Championship after sustaining an ankle injury at the weekend.

Kolisi, 25, was injured in the third minute of the Stormers’ 60-21 Super Rugby quarter-final loss to the Chiefs at Newlands last Saturday.

According to Netwerk24, Kolisi will be sidelined for up to three months.

Kolisi started all three of the Springboks' Tests against Ireland in June.

The Boks start their Rugby Championship campaign against Argentina in Nelspruit on August 20 and finish against the All Blacks in Durban on October 8.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
