(Reuters) - South Africa will have powerful number eight Duane Vermeulen back in their side for the Rugby Championship clash with Australia in Gold Coast on Sunday but have lost electric wing Cheslin Kolbe to a leg injury.

Vermeulen has missed the entire 2021 international season so far with an ankle injury, which means he has not played for the Springboks since a man of the match performance in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final victory over England.
