Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has emerged as a major doubt for the second Rugby Championship clash against New Zealand at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
Kolisi, appeared at the post-match press conference with a swollen right eye. Coach Rassie Erasmus said the injury appears to be a fractured cheekbone while also indicating the medical team will do tests to determine its extent.
It looks like a fracture to me. I am not a medical doctor, I didnt explain Ebens injury that well on Tuesday but I do think it is a fracture.
The doctor will definitely have to look at it because he doesnt normally look like this, explained Erasmus with a laugh.
If Kolisi does not make it for Saturdays Test, where the All Blacks will be out in full force to avoid two defeats in a row, Erasmus will have Marco van Staden available to fill in for him.
