BOK HISTORY BECKONS

ERASMUS: KOLISI & ARENDSE COULD MISS THE DEFINING CAPE TOWN TEST.

The Springboks are on the verge of history and will be targeting their fourth straight win over the All Blacks when the two teams collide in the second Rugby Championship Test at the Cape Town Stadium this coming Saturday.

The Boks triumphed 31-27 in a thrilling first game at Ellis Park at the weekend, which was their third win in a row against their biggest rivals, after they beat them 35-7 at Twickenham and 12-11 in the World Cup final last year.

It is just the second time since rugby turned professional in 1995 that the Boks have beaten the All Blacks three times in a row, the first time being in the 2009 Tri Nations tournament.

They now have a chance to pick up a fourth straight win for the first time in the professional era.
