Makazole Mapimpi is being hailed as South Africa's drought breaker after scoring the Springboks' first try in a Rugby World Cup final at the third attempt. They shut out England for the full 80 minutes - for the second time in two Rugby World Cup final meetings - and have now gone 260 minutes without conceding a World Cup final try. South Africa beat the All Blacks 15-12 after extra-time in the 1995 Rugby World Cup final in a 100-minute epic at Johannesburg's Ellis Park. Now 32, Steyn joins loosehead prop Os du Randt as the only Springbok with two Rugby World Cup winners medals.
