Captain Siya Kolisi has been passed fit for South Africa’s two-match away leg of the Rugby Championship in New Zealand where they will hope to win at Eden Park in Auckland for the first time in 88 years.

The loose forward missed Saturday’s 30-22 win over Australia in Cape Town that got the defending champions’ campaign back on track but he has made sufficient progress from a knee injury.

Utility forward Pieter-Steph du Toit, fullback Willie le Roux and hooker Jan-Hendrik Wessels were also sidelined for the second Australia test but are in the squad for the New Zealand trip.

South Africa face the All Blacks at Eden Park on September 6 and then in Wellington the following week. All four teams in the competition, which also includes Argentina, have one victory from two fixtures so far.
