  • @SheldonK (Comment 1) : I reckon Mapimpi is better than Diyanti at the moment. Would love to see Am playing next to Steyn

  • @Bokhoring (Comment 2) : True in terms of Mapimpi but I think Dyantyi shades him on defense and under the high ball, those 2 areas probably the only reason Mapimpi isn’t an established Bok now, having said that he has improved both those areas this year.

  • @SheldonK (Comment 3) : Maybe under the highball, but mapimpi has been much improved on defence and has stolen more balls in the rucks than what hyron andrews even attempted to participate in
