1938 TOUR: STATISTICAL QUIRKS

1 The third test in this series was the 50th test match for South Africa and it was in this test that the Springboks scored the 500th point in the history of South African rugby. The 100th try in South African rugby was also scored during this series when Fanie Louw dotted down in the first test at Ellis Park.
2 Gerry Brand scored 14 points in the first test at Ellis Park, equalling the record of Bennie Osler who scored 14 against the 1928 All Blacks in the first test in Durban. Sadly, it was Brand's last test in the Springbok jersey.
