Siya Kolisi is doubtful for the 2023 Rugby World Cup (September 8 to October 28). The Springboks captain suffered a serious knee injury on Saturday 22 April during the United Rugby Championship match between his Sharks team and Munster. According to the South African press, the 31 year old player has suffered a partial rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. A terrible blow for the 2019 world champion and for the South Africans because the two options that present themselves are not reassuring.
According to a member of the South African Rugby Union (SARU), quoted by Le Figaro, "If he is recommended an operation, and he accepts, he will probably not play again this year . The other option is to let the injury heal, but that could take about four months, which means he would not play again until September. In case of surgery, Siya Kolisi will be out for the World Cup. If not, he would miss all the preparation matches. South Africa will play Scotland on September 10. Then, in its group B, there will be confrontations against Ireland, Romania and Tonga.
