Kolisi joined the Parisian outfit after last year's World Cup in France where he captained the Boks to glory.

Springbok management will keep a close eye on Kolili's fitness but he is expected to recover in time for the home series against Ireland in July.

The Boks will hold an alignment camp between 5-6 March. Kolisi's name was not listed in the 43-player group named to assemble in Cape Town.
