Kolbe ruled out of Springbok tour through injury

Cheslin Kolbe has been ruled out of the Springboks’ tour, SA Rugby magazine has reported.

No further details regarding the nature or severity of Kolbe’s injury were provided in the available text, nor was a timeframe given for his expected return to action.

Kolbe, one of South Africa’s most dangerous backs and a key member of the Springbok setup, will therefore miss the touring matches in question.

His absence is a notable blow for the Boks, given his ability to contribute both as a finisher out wide and, when required, at fullback. Further updates on his condition are expected from SA Rugby in due course.
