Kolbe est écarté en raison d’un problème au genou et manquera le match du 22 juin.

L’Afrique du Sud affrontera ensuite l’Irlande dans une série de deux tests, à partir du 6 juillet, et il n’y a qu’une possibilité à ce stade qu’il soit apte pour la première rencontre à Pretoria.

Kolbe, l’un des ailiers les plus rapides et des finisseurs les plus redoutables au monde, s’est blessé au cours de la saison de la League One japonaise avec son club, le Suntory Sungoliath, basé à Tokyo.

« Après avoir consulté l’équipe médicale (des Springboks) dimanche, il a été libéré lundi pour demander l’avis d’un spécialiste », a déclaré SA Rugby.

« Kolbe est revenu au camp mercredi après-midi pour suivre un programme de rééducation.

« Il fera sa rééducation sous la supervision du staff médical des Boks en vue d’une éventuelle sélection pour le premier test contre l’Irlande. »

All Blacks player ratings vs England | Steinlager Ultra Low Carb Series first Test

I was excited about the Razor error, but a few things are bothering me about this team. It’s looking less like a bright new dawn, and more like a conservative look to the past. We’ll never know how much pressure comes from above to select established players, but imagine if Razor wiped the slate clean and created the new baby blacks, the financial hit to NZR would be huge. Not that such drastic measures are needed, but a few selections still puzzle. TJ and Christie. Neither look like bright picks for the future, both are experienced but with limitations. I understand why you would pick one as a safe pair of hands, but why both? Jacobson is no impact player, and it makes no sense to me why you would pick both Blackadder and Jacobson in the same squad. They cover pretty much the same positions, and Jacobson has never demanded a start. Blackadder has struggled to stay on the field, but if he is picked, play him. Let’s see what he can do, we know enough about Jacobson, and Blackadder has far more mongrel. I would have preferred to see Lakai in the squad, he offers a point of difference and the energy of youth. Plus he would have kept Papali’i honest and created tasty competition for the 7 jersey. Ioane. The experiment goes on. The bloke is a fantastic winger but still fails to convince as a centre. Has NZR invested so much money in him that there’s pressure to play him? Proctor was by far the better player all season and played next to Barrett. Play him; a specialised centre, in form. Crazy I know. Our two wingers are very good, but we still miss a power runner in the backline. Faiga’anuki was a big loss and could have filled that role at wing or 13. More money on young players like him and less on aging stars would not go amiss in NZ rugby. Perofeta had a decent game, but the jury is still out. The lack of a specialist fullback in the squad is another head scratcher. Admittedly it’s early days and a win is a win, but hopefully some more innovation is in the plan otherwise I see this squad struggling sooner or later.
