Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>In Durban<\/b><\/p>\n

Springbok wing Makazole Mapimpi said taking their opportunities on Saturday when they face Argentina at Kings Park on Saturday is a must.<\/p>\n

Mapimpi, a regular try scorer for South Africa, played a crucial role in creating Malcolm Marx’s late try in the 36-20 win in Buenos Aires last week that secured the Boks the critical bonus point that keeps them in the Rugby Championship hunt.<\/p>\n

Mapimpi, who has had an excellent Rugby Championship for the Boks despite going some games without scoring tries, said they’re happy as a group when points are scored, regardless of who scores them.<\/p>\n

“Scoring tries is something that’s always good for me and it’s something that I’ve been doing a couple of times,” Mapimpi said.<\/p>\n

“It’s my job to finish up the opportunities that are created for me and I feel that we’ve been creating plenty of them.<\/p>\n

“However, it doesn’t matter if it’s a forward or a back, so long as we scored points.”<\/p>\n

The Boks have been guilty of not using their try-scoring opportunities effectively.<\/p>\n

This was evident in the Tests against Wales and Australia where the Boks camped in the golden zone but didn’t always get the requisite return on investments.<\/p>\n

It was the same against the All Blacks at Ellis Park where the Boks didn’t make the best of their chances and lost a game that may impact their Championship chances.<\/p>\n

Mapimpi, who chuckled when asked about his interactions with Australian wing Marika Koroibete in the two Tests, acknowledged that hindsight allowed them to learn from their mistakes.<\/p>\n

“In a game of rugby, there are things that happen that you don’t see at first, but only pick up when you watch the game in hindsight,” Mapimpi said.<\/p>\n

“You look back at those things and look to rectify them as a team. As players, you learn and make mistakes as you go along.<\/p>\n

“I guess it depends on how you make your mistakes and how you learn from them.<\/p>\n

“I remember the Ellis Park game where against the All Blacks, we didn’t quite do justice to ourselves in the last 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

“There were opportunities to score tries in that game and we didn’t finish them off as best as we could.”<\/p>\n
