Etzebeth, who became the seventh Springbok centurion, was closely run by utility back Damian Willemse (20,97%) and flyhalf Handre Pollard (20,93%).
Willemse put in a solid performance as he was forced to shift from fullback to centre in the 20th minute after Cheslin Kolbe was substituted due to a jaw injury. Pollard enjoyed a return to form at the kicking tee and also scored a try for a personal haul of 20 points.
