RECORD WATCH
Morné Steyn needs one penalty goal to equal Braam van Straaten’s record of 34 penalty goals in a season of International rugby. He also needs just one point to get to 300 points in tests. Should he get this one point he would have scored his 300 points in his 24th test. The fastest to 300 points in tests by a Springbok.
CJ van der Linde needs one try to join three other Springboks (Chris Koch, Os du Randt and Gurthrö Steenkamp) as the top try scorer for a prop in tests.
Bismarck du Plessis needs one try to become the sole record holder for most tries in tests by a hooker. He is currently level with James Dalton on 5 career tries.
