Will Eben Etzebeth join Victor Matfield and Beast Mtawarira as the only Springbok centurions to claim wins in their 100th Test appearance?
The enforcer lock, set to become the seventh Bok centurion when he runs out at Cape Town Stadium against Wales on Saturday, will be determined to become just the third to mark 100 Test caps with a victory.
Only Victor Matfield and Beast Mtawarira celebrated their century with a win, while the Boks suffered losses in all of Percy Montgomery, John Smit, Bryan Habana and Jean de Villiers’ 100th Test matches.
