Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has been declared fit to start in Saturday's Rugby Championship Test against the All Blacks in Cape Town.

Kolisi took a heavy blow to the face in last weekend's 31-27 win over New Zealand at Ellis Park, but he'll start in the No 6 jersey at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.

Springbok management said Kolisi made it through all the training sessions this week, and was subsequently cleared to play.

There's also a return to the starting XV for flyhalf Handre Pollard and fullback Willie le Roux, who start in place of Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Aphelele Fassi respectively.
