Springbok talisman Siya Kolisi was forced off after just 22 minutes of his comeback game for Racing 92 in the Champions Cup playoff against Toulouse on Sunday.

The 32-year-old two-time World Cup-winning captain, who was replaced at flanker by Ibrahim Diallo, appeared to have injured his right ankle in the round of 16 clash.

Kolisi, who joined Racing after last year’s World Cup triumph, was making his return to competitive rugby after more than a month out following surgery on a finger in his right hand.

Toulouse welcomed back fly-half Romain Ntamack after an eight-month lay-off which ruled him out of France’s bid to win the World Cup on home soil.
