With a knee injury, he was unable to play for the Sharks in their 22-22 tie with Munster. His World Cup participation is now in doubt. Springbok RWC captain Kolisi had surgery on Friday, and the medical staff for the South African RWC 2023 squad, led by Jerome Mampane, will continue to keep an eye on his recovery and rehabilitation. Due to the surgery, Kolisi will have to hurry to recover in time for the Springboks' defence of their World Cup championship in France. Springbok RWC captain Kolisi has too early to predict his return to action

Mampane stated that it is still too early to make any trustworthy predictions on Kolisi's potential return to action. We wish Springbok RWC captain Kolisi well during his recovery and know that he will do everything possible to return to play as soon as possible, according to South African Rugby World Cup head coach Jacques Nienaber.

In their opening encounter of the Rugby World Cup on Sunday, September 10, South Africa will take on Scotland in Marseille. They will next play Tonga in Marseille on October 1 and Romania in Bordeaux on September 17.

Early in August, the Boks plan to reveal their 33-man roster for the international championship. The Boks will have a new skipper for the next Rugby Championship because of Kolisi's absence. With both players having served as captain before, fly-half Handre Pollard and second-row Eben Etzebeth have emerged as the front-runners.

When Kolisi won the national order of Ikhamanga, which honours South Africans, who have achieved greatness in sport, the arts, culture, literature, music, and journalism, SA Rugby president Mark Alexander congratulated Kolisi on his behalf.

The president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, awarded the Order of Ikhamanga to Kolisi, one of five recipients, for his inspirational leadership and contributions to rugby. Kolisi guided the Boks to a Rugby World Cup triumph in Japan in 2019 and a series victory against the British & Irish Lions in 2021.

Proud of his achievements

Our organisation is proud of our skipper and his rugby accomplishments, added Alexander. Siya is a ray of hope for countless young boys and girls in our nation, and he is a real example that your destiny is determined by your choices, not by accident.

He is a true representative of rugby and embodies the principles that SA Rugby and the Springboks uphold. One of the highest honours one can obtain in South Africa is the order of Ikhamanga, and receiving it in such a significant year for South African Rugby is particularly impressive.

This is made even more significant by the fact that they will aim to defend their World Cup crown in France and create history by becoming the first team to win four championships.

Springbok RWC captain Kolisi is delighted to be honoured with the national order of Ikhamanga.

This is a tremendous honour, and it becomes even more exceptional when you consider the calibre of the other recipients, he remarked. Even though I am incredibly proud, I must express my gratitude to my teammates and the Springbok coaching staff for their contributions to the team's recent triumph. Without them, this would not have been possible. Rugby World Cup fans can buy South Africa Vs Scotland Tickets from our website.
