Springboks star, Cheslin Kolbe is expected to return to the starting 15 for South African side this Saturday when they will face England in the Final of the Rugby World Cup.

Kolbe was ruled out in last week's semifinals against Wales due to an ankle injury he sustained during their match against Italy in the pool stages.

Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus confirmed he has a fully-fit 31 man squad to pick from in their final this week.

South Africa will face England at 9pm this Saturday while New Zealand will take on Wales at 9pm this Friday in the Bronze playoffs.
