Springbok flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit will look to put in another big shift against the All Blacks as he reaches 100 Tests in the second Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry match in Cape Town.
The Springboks will have to break an unwanted pattern on Saturday when Pieter-Steph du Toit runs out for his 100th Test, with their backs firmly against the wall as they fight to draw level with New Zealand in Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry.
After the All Blacks took a 1-0 series lead with a 33-16 victory in Johannesburg, DHL Stadium in the Mother City becomes the scene for the second match — and what should be a memorable milestone for one of Cape Town’s own.
Born and bred in the Swartland just outside the Mother City, Du Toit will become the 11th Springbok to reach 100 Test caps and it will be a massive achievement for the decorated star.
But there is an unwanted statistic hanging over the occasion.
