How we verified the career total
Caps are Springbok Tests only. Club games and uncapped fixtures are excluded.
The SA Rugby profile dynamically lists 146 and its biography lists 141. The 22 September team sheet lists 146 pre-match and explicitly previews cap 147. The completed 27 September match line-up lists him starting and the timeline records his substitution in minute 76. No subsequent Springbok Test had been played by the cutoff.
The listed 2.03m height follows SA Rugby. Sharks lists 2.02m; weight varies between sources and is omitted.
