Evergreen Eben to breach record

MBOMBELA: SET TO BECOME MOST CAPPED SPRINGBOK.

Etzebeth equalled Bok legend Victor Matfield's cap record of 127 appearances when he came off the bench in their tight 29-28 loss to Los Pumas in Santiago over the past weekend, and has now been elevated to the starting line-up for the record-breaking and title deciding match.

He is one of nine changes to the starting XV from that game, with Manie Libbok, who missed the potentially match-winning kick, and Jaden Hendrikse, also promoted from the bench.
