Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored 37 points, thanks to three tries, eight conversions and two penalties.
18-year-record
That broke the 18-year record set by former Springbok fullback Percy Montgomery who racked up 35 points against minnows Namibia at Newlands in Cape Town on 15 August 2007.
That day Montgomery scored a try and landed 12 conversions and two penalties in the Springboks’ runaway 105-13 win.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu became just the sixth Springbok to score 30 or more points in a Test.
The bonus point win saw the Springboks move to the top of this year’s Rugby Championship log.
Another win with a bonus point over Argentina in their final match at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham next Saturday will ensure Rassie Erasmus’s men would retain their Rugby Championship title.
Don’t bet against a rampant Springbok team from doing exactly that!
Kick-off is at 15:00 (SA time).
