Mapimpi in great form for Springbok's history

Makazole Mapimpi celebrates his try by paying tribute to a young girl who was brutally murdered.

Makazole Mapimpi is chasing Rugby World Cup history for the Springboks ahead of their semi-final clash against Wales on Sunday at Yokohama in Japan.


The Springbok's raising star is playing his first World Cup competition and already he is one of the best players to watch out with his moves and styles in this rugby era. He is 3 tries away to level up with the record set by the Springbok's legend Bryan Habana with 8 tries in a single 2007 Rugby World Cup competition.


With two games to play, considering that South Africa wins against Wales on Sunday to advance to the finals. Mapimpi has a high chance of climbing the ranks by only scoring four tries to be SA's number one.


The Mdansane born-boy currently leads the ranks alongside Japan's Kotaro Matsushima and Welshman Josh James with 5 tries a piece. Unfortunately the Japanese run has ended after being knocked out by South Africa on the quarter finals.


The Sharks winger and the Welshman will be set for a challenge on who is the best in this tournament when the pair meet up on world stage for a highly anticipated match on Sunday
