Makazole Mapimpi, Tendai Mtawarira, Lukhanyo Am and Herschel Jantjies called up for games against Fiji, Brazil and Wales

London — Makazole Mapimpi, scorer of SA’s sensational first try in their 32-12 humbling of England in the World Cup final, is one of four Springboks named in a Barbarians squad for three matches in November.

Mapimpi is joined by legendary prop Tendai “Beast” Mtawarira, first-choice centre Lukhanyo Am and reserve scrumhalf Herschel Jantjies for the games against crowd-pleasing Fiji at Twickenham , Brazil in Sao Paulo and Wales at the Principality Stadium . Mapimpi, Am and Jantjies will be making their debuts for the Barbarians, with 117-times capped Mtawarira his third. Ironically they will be coached by England head coach Eddie Jones for the opening match with Fiji.

Other standout names in the squad include legendary Irish hooker Rory Best, who will play all three games as a swansong to his stellar career. Former Springbok Morné Steyn will also join up with the squad, teaming up again with Mtawarira after making his Barbarians debut with him in 2009. That was against the All Blacks in a famous 25-19 Barbarians win with Bryan Habana’s hat-trick of tries.
