• Jean de Villiers will extend his record as the most-capped Springbok centre, with 88 Tests in this position and will captain South Africa for the 32nd time, placing him third behind John Smit (83) and Gary Teichmann (36).
• Victor Matfield will extend his record as the most-capped Springbok in history (118 Tests). He will also extend his record of 118 Tests as a lock and his record as the oldest Springbok ever at 37 years 181 days.

• It will be the fourth time in history that a Springbok team will have three centurions in the starting lineup – Victor Matfield (118), Bryan Habana (104) and Jean de Villiers (103). The three previous times were against Australia and New Zealand in the Rugby Championship and against Ireland last week.
