Saturday will also see Eben Etzebeth extend his record as the most-capped Springbok of all time to 134 Tests. The lock will move into joint-10th place on the all-time global list alongside Welsh legend Gethin Jenkins. Fellow Test centurion Victor Matfield put all his skills on display in 2010, as he put centre Jaque Fourie away for a stunning Bok try.
