The Remarkable Career of Makazole Mapimpi

As Willie le Roux prepares to make his 100th appearance for the Springboks, another player who deserves recognition is Makazole Mapimpi. The two-time World Cup winner has proven himself as one of the best wingers in the Bok squad, with an impressive strike rate of 32 tries in 46 Tests.

Despite facing competition from younger players like Kurt-Lee Arendse and Cheslin Kolbe, Mapimpi remains a valuable asset to the team. While he may not be the first choice left wing anymore, he continues to deliver solid performances whenever he takes to the field.

For the upcoming Test against Italy, Mapimpi will line up alongside Edwill van der Merwe on the wing, with Le Roux at fullback for his milestone match. With players like Canan Moodie and Ethan Hooker also vying for positions, Mapimpi knows he must make the most of every opportunity he gets.

Having excelled at both the Sharks and the national team, Mapimpi’s consistency and try-scoring ability have set him apart from his peers. His impressive record of 32 tries in 46 Tests is a testament to his skill and determination on the field.

Looking ahead, Mapimpi remains focused on the present rather than the distant future. While talk of the 2027 World Cup looms, he is committed to giving his best for the Sharks and the Springboks in the here and now.

Embracing Homecoming in Gqeberha

Returning to his roots in the Eastern Cape holds special significance for Mapimpi, who is excited to play in front of his home crowd once again. The rare opportunity to represent the Springboks in Gqeberha is a momentous occasion for the winger and a chance to showcase his talents on familiar turf.

As Mapimpi continues to defy expectations and prove his worth at the highest level of rugby, his journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring players and fans alike. With a relentless work ethic and a passion for the game, he has solidified his place in Springbok history as a true legend of the sport.
