Eben Etzebeth is on the verge of a historic achievement. Here is when he’s likely to become the most-capped Springbok of all time.Matfield is the leading Springbok in terms of Test caps, having featured in 127 internationals, and it’s likely that Etzebeth will reach this same figure when South Africa face Argentina in their penultimate Rugby Championship match next weekend.
What an epic occasion that will be as Etzebeth is celebrated for becoming the most-capped Springbok of all time, while it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that the 32-year-old could go on to amass more than 150 caps before his career is over.
The squad will assemble in Stellenbosch on Wednesday afternoon to begin their preparations for the tour to Argentina. “But as we’ve shown all season, we have full faith in all the players in our wider group and we believe that we have such a wealth of squad depth that any young player can step in and fill the boots of the more experienced players.
