Kolbe back for Toulon

The Springbok star has been on the sidelines since suffering an ankle injury during the Top 14 match last month.

Springbok speedster Cheslin Kolbe will complete his return to rugby after being named in the Toulon lineup to face Benetton in the Challenge Cup tomorrow.

Kolbe has been named at fullback for the French Top 14 giants to take on the men from Treviso in the semi-final clash at Stade Felix Mayol.

The World Cup winner was carted off the field in tears during a Top 14 match at the end of March before it was revealed that he would only miss a month of action due to a sprained ankle.

He is joined in the matchday 23 by SA-born Scotland international Cornell du Preez, who is in line to make an impact at openside flanker.
