international points in the game when he scored a try. The final two games of the tour, in Durban and the Port Elizabeth, saw Lategan collect his third and fourth caps in two further Springbok victories. The All Blacks had lost all four Tests. 1951 tour of Britain When South Africa undertook their Fourth Tour of Britain in 1951, Lategan was selected to travel. The tour took in 31 games, five of which were international matches. Due to injuries to van Schoor and Sinclair, Lategan played in 20 games of the tour, only Fonnie du Toit played more. Though Lategan later stated that he '...always felt like playing,' and was able to avoid injury. Although he did not play the tour opener to the South-Eastern Counties team, Lategan was called upon heavily in the first few weeks of the tour, playing in five of the first seven games. He faced South-Western Counties on 13 October, then a joint Pontypool/Newbridge on 18 October followed by Cardiff just two days later. Although he was rested for the match against Llanelli, he was back in the team on 27 October to face the north-Western Counties and again on 31 October against a combined Glasgow/Edinburgh team. Van Schoor was injured during the Glasgow/Edinburgh game, so Dennis Fry was drafted in at centre along with regular centres Viviers and Sinclair to give Lategan a rest leading up to the first Test. Lategan returned to action to face London Counties on 10 November, partnered with Fry. The game was won by London Counties, 11–9, the only loss the Springboks suffered throughout the entire tour. Five days later he played against Oxford University, rejoined by a fit-again van Schoor. This was followed just two days later by another trip to Wales, this time playing against a joint Neath/Aberavon side. On 24 November Lategan and van Schoor were partnered for the fourth time at international level when South Africa faced Scotland at Murrayfield. The decision to choose Lategan over Fry was made just hours before the kick-off. South African rugby journalist R.K. Stent, described Lategan as having a 'Big Moment' temperament, believing he hit his best form of the tour against Scotland. The Scotland game became a rout, with South Africa winning 44–0. Lategan scored his first points of the tour during the game with a try in the 59th minute when he gathered a dropped Scotland pass
