FILE PHOTO:Rugby Union - 3rd Test - South Africa v Wales - Cape Town Stadium, Cape Town, South Africa - July 16, 2022 South Africa's Makazole Mapimpi during the warm up before the match REUTERS/Siphiwe Sibeko/File PhotoMARSEILE, France : South Africa wing Makazole Mapimpi has been ruled out of the remainder of the Rugby World Cup in France with a fractured eye socket, director of rugby Rassie Erasmus confirmed on Monday.
"It is very sad, it was an accident, but he has a fractured eye socket and he is out for four to six weeks. We will miss him because he is a brilliant rugby player and a fantastic person." "If we get to the final we will fly him back to join us here. It is sad but that is the game of rugby, these collisions happen," Erasmus added.
The only way they can be knocked out of the tournament is if Scotland beat top-ranked Ireland by 21 points or more and the latter get a bonus point for tries scored.
