Kolisi has picked up a facial fracture but needs to be given every possible chance to recover.

Whether Springbok captain Siya Kolisi will be fit to face the All Blacks in the second Rugby Championship Test between the two teams at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday will only be revealed on Thursday, after scrum coach Daan Human would not divulge anything.

Just before yesterday's scheduled Springbok press conference, an announcement was sent out by SA Rugby confirming that the team announcement, which normally takes place at midday on a Tuesday, had been shifted to Thursday morning.

That could be to give Kolisi and other players with knocks, such as Kurt-Lee Arendse, who went off in the second-half of the first-Test with concussion, time to recover.

There was a bit of a furore last week when Eben Etzebeth was left out of the match-23, but added a day later after being passed fit.
