Springbok captain Siya Kolisi will most likely miss the Test against the All Blacks in Cape Town on Saturday.

The world champions produced a strong showing in the final quarter to edge Scott Robertson’s side 31-27 in their Rugby Championship Round Three clash at Ellis Park on Saturday.

However, the victory has come at a price.

The Bok captain attended the post-match press conference, but the right side of his face was severely swollen.

When Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus was asked about the injury, he said he thought it might be a fracture and by the looks of it, it might be the cheekbone.

“To me, it looks like a fracture,” Erasmus said.

“The doctor will have to take a look, I am not a doctor, but he doesn’t normally look like that,” a smiling Erasmus said.

If the cheekbone is fractured, it will rule Kolisi out of next weekend’s clash at Cape Town Stadium.

He left the field after 60 minutes and was replaced by Kwagga Smit.

Wing Kurt-Lee Arendse was the other big casualty as he left the field due to a concussion.

Saturday’s win was the Boks’ third in a row in the Rugby Championship.

They now have an eight-point lead over the All Blacks in the standings.

Argentina lost to Australia in La Plata in Saturday’s other Round Three fixture.

All the talk about Bongi dropped ball but just seen the Kane on Kolisi incident again...Wow, he was lucky not to get another red!

Maybe WR should field the best ref team they have when the best game of the year is played between the best two teams in the world? This is not a sleight on any other team in the world but when the SB & AB play there is always fireworks and lots of contention re decisions made afterwards.

Would love to see a late inclusion in Canan Moodie to replace KLA - but it will probably be MM.

Vern Cotter reflects on his side's recent turnaround in form

TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
