Cape Town - Wings Makazole Mapimpi and Cheslin Kolbe made history as they scored tries in the Springboks' win over England in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final in Yokohama on Saturday.

Mapimpi became the first ever Springboks to score in a World Cup final as he combined with centre Lukhanyo Am to break English hearts.

Not to be outdone, Kolbe rubbed salt into England's wounds with a late try in which he left opposing captain Owen Farrell grasping at thing air.
