'Oi, shut up!' Makazole Mapimpi puts Nic White in his place and goes viral

Springbok wing Makazole Mapimpi has gone viral on social media after giving Wallaby scrum-half Nic White a loud telling off during Saturday's match

This year's Rugby Championship has not failed to deliver in any department. The rugby itself has been pretty incredible, but the entertainment and rivalry in general has been mouth-watering.

From Marika Koroibete's thumping try-saving tackle to Eben Etzebeth and Alan Alaalatoa's wild face-off , there has been an abundance of drama.

A clip has now emerged on social media of Mapimpi losing his cool with the niggly White, and it was caught on the referee's microphone. The winger is leaning over catching his breath, when he stands upright pointing his finger towards White.

"Oi! Oi! Shut up! Shut up!" exclaims Mapimpi.

The springboks had clearly had enough of White's whinging and talking throughout the game, seven days on from that now infamous incident. Last week he became rugby's bad guy after falling to the floor following a gentle slap from Faf de Klerk. White was widely criticised for his theatrical reaction and accused of bringing the game into disrepute.

Mapimpi had an eventful game on Saturday, scoring a try before sparking a mass brawl that saw Etzebeth lose the plot. You can read about that here.

The final round of Rugby Championship matches kicks off on September 17th, where Round Five will get underway with Australia v New Zealand in Melbourne.
