Talk:Eben Etzebeth

Infobox, caps etc
I've tried again to tidy this up. The SA Rugby online source does not support the numbers added by TheMightyPeanut - it states that he has played 74 tests, 1 tour match, 75 total Springbok matches. Having separate stats for "South Africa", "Springboks" and "Springbok XV", all linked to the same page, is misleading, inaccurate, not supported by reliable sources, and makes no sense to the average reader. The World XV & Barbarians matches are both normally reported in reliable sources as just "South Africa vs World XV" etc. The difference between Springboks and Springbok XV is especially unclear. I suggest we include international caps only, as in virtually every other case, and add these other games to the article text. --hippo43 (talk) 15:54, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * "The SA Rugby online source does not support the numbers added by TheMightyPeanut" — yes, that's why I added a second reference, which supports the information presented exactly. I agree that having the classification might be confusing; a comment has been added to clear this up. It's definitely not inaccurate, it's the player's official record as per the South African Rugby Union; in fact, expunging valid appearances from a player's record is what's introducing inaccuracy. It's very definitely supported by a reliable source. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 02:29, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
