NELSPRUIT, South Africa (Reuters) - Lock Eben Etzebeth marked South Africa’s Rugby Championship title victory with a record-breaking 128th Springbok cap as he helped them to a comprehensive 48-7 victory over Argentina on Saturday and vowed to keep going at international level.
The double World Cup winner surpassed fellow lock Victor Matfield on the all-time list and in a poignant moment, was handed his ceremonial cap by his former teammate at the same venue where Matfield broke the record himself in 2014.
