Eben Etzebeth is the most-capped Springbok of all time, yet Victor Matfield still favours his former second-row partner Bakkies Botha as one of the world’s best-ever locks.
In this clip, the legendary Matfield picks the winner between the likes of Franco Mostert, Paul O’Connell, Brodie Retallick, Will Skelton and Maro Itoje, and Botha came out trumps in the battle of the Bok enforcers.
Botha earned 85 Test caps as perhaps the most decorated player in the history of professional rugby, and by the time he called time on his career, had amassed 57 Test starts as a lock pairing with Matfield.
