LONDON (Reuters) - South Africa captain Siya Kolisi says the absence of banned director of rugby Rassie Erasmus from Twickenham will be a blow to the team as they go up against England on Saturday.

Erasmus is banned from any matchday activity until Sept. 30 next year after being found guilty of misconduct by an independent committee for his hour-long video critique of the match officials during the British & Irish Lions series.
