PARIS, Oct 11 (Reuters) - France flanker Anthony Jelonch will likely continue his remarkable recovery from injury in Sunday’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final against South Africa and may find time to swap notes with Siya Kolisi.
The world champions' captain also won a tight race against time to be fit for the tournament after injury.
Jelonch, 27, had initially been given little chance of making the tournament, the same as Kolisi, who suffered a partial anterior cruciate ligament tear in April.
I gave myself the means to be able to play this World Cup.
This injury did me a lot of good and made me grow," Jelonch added.
