(Reuters) -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.
