Percy Montgomery: 'Oo, Erm, Right, How to get past Lomu?'

The Tri-Nations record number of tries South Africa managed in four matches during the 1997 series. As record breaking seasons go, it ended there with the Boks finishing 'third' despite laying seige on the whitewash at an everage of 3.75 per game. Percy Montgomery did most of the damage going over three times while Pieter Rossouw and Mark Andrews both bagged braces. Needless to say, eight of which came in the 61-22 hammering of Australia at Loftus Versfeld.
