On Saturday Bryan Habana will run out at Loftus Versveld against the Ozzies, and in doing so will notch up another few records to add to his impressive tally.
It will be his 52nd appearance in the Tri-Nations / Rugby Championship, which extends his lead over second-placed Jean de Villiers (50).
It will also be his 121st appearance in the green and gold, the most by a winger, although Victor Matfield still leads the way with 127.
More records – of course there are. Here’s Sport24:
Habana, the oldest player in Saturday’s squad at 33 years, three months and 19 days, is the all-time leading Bok try-scorer against the Wallabies with nine tries, as well as the all-time leading Bok try-scorer at Loftus with eight.
Habana, currently plying his trade for Franch Top 14 side Toulon, will have fond memories of Loftus, having played 61 times for the Bulls in Super Rugby.
Habana will be looking to add to his total Test try tally of 66 – which is a record for a tier 1 player.
66 tries is one helluva total, but there are some that stand out from the crowd. Below is a highlights reel of sorts, although I recommend watching it on mute to avoid the truly awful soundtrack.
And this one, that deserves a video all of it’s own. Eat dirt, George Gregan:
