Chief tormentor in that regard was again left-wing Makazole Mapimpi who dotted down twice. He scored in almost familiar fashion to take his try tally to 19 to help separate the Springboks from their hosts. Danie Gerber's strike rate is similar to Mapimpi's but he played six matches against a composite side from South America and four against the New Zealand Cavaliers which weren't fully sanctioned events during the dark days of apartheid.Mapimpi has become the Boks most used outlet for tries from turnovers, particularly ones that have their origins in their own half.
