SACHA Feinberg-Mngomezulu starred as the Springboks ran in 11 unanswered tries to inflict a record 73-0 home pak slae on Wales in the season-ending international Test in Cardiff on Saturday.
The comprehensive victory in Cardiff marked the second successive season that they have completed a November clean sweep.
Their only blip was a late red card for 140-cap lock Eben Etzebeth.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored two tries and nine conversions for a personal tally of 28 points that took him to 123 points in 10 matches for the green and gold in 2025.
Centre Andre Esterhuizen was another star. His kwaai midfield drives were a constant thorn in the Welsh defence and offered South Africa relentless momentum in front of 50 112 at the Millennium Stadium.
The Welsh scrum was under the cosh from the vaunted Bok pack and the opening three tries, from Gerhard Steenkamp, Ethan Hooker and Jasper Wiese, all came from dominant attacking set-pieces.
An Esterhuizen crashball set up a ruck from which scrumhalf Morne van den Berg darted over for the Boks’ fourth try, as they led 28-0 at halftime.
Wales had a swak start to the second period, as another Esterhuizen drive set up a ruck from which Wilco Louw barged over.
Welsh woes were compounded by Taine Plumtree’s yellow card.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu took a quick-tap penalty to surge under the posts for the Boks’ sixth try.
Canan Moodie hacked ahead to touch down before Esterhuizen claimed a deserved try.
Bok coach Rassie Erasmus brought on all eight replacements in the 52nd minute.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu skipped in for his second try before Ruan Nortje and Etzebeth, who was sent-off for eye-gauging a minute from the end, also went over.
