South Africa are sweating on the fitness of captain Siya Kolisi amid reports he will miss this year’s World Cup but should have another key player in Eben Etzebeth back in the next months.

Reports of partial tear to Kolisi’s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and a damaged meniscus dominated local media in the country on Tuesday, although there has been no confirmation from him or his club.
