Springbok skipper Kolisi fit and ready to rumble against All Blacks

But at a press conference on Tuesday Erasmus explained that Kolisi had come through Monday and Tuesday’s training sessions comfortably, and is fully ready to play.

At Monday’s team announcement Kolisi, who picked up a hamstring injury against Argentina earlier this month that ruled him out of the first Test at Ellis Park, was bracketed along with rising talent Paul de Villiers for the number six jersey.

So we said he would have to run full out on Monday, which he did, and full out today as well, without any discomfort, so he is ready to go.
