The milestone highlights the cohesion of the South African rugby team as they compete in a high-stakes international series.
INTERVIEW: Springbok No.8 Jasper Wiese revealed what a Greatest Rivalry series win would mean for the team and reflected on being part of a record-breaking combination last weekend.
The bulldozing No.8 is arguably one of the best players during the RGR series and for the Springboks overall throughout the season.
In Test three, which the Boks won 29-24 at FNB Stadium, Wiese, captain Siya Kolisi and latest centurion Pieter-Steph du Toit broke the team record for the loose trio which started the most Tests together (18), surpassing the combination of Francois Louw, Willem Alberts and Duane Vermeulen.
This weekend in Baltimore, they will extend their record with a series win against the All Blacks within reach.
Wiese reflected on the loose forward combination’s mini milestone and his experience of playing with the two Bok centurions.
