Springboks score nine tries in a record 66-7 win over Italy in Turin
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu kicked 10 from 10 and scored 26 points as South Africa went top of the Nations Championship.
Turin — South Africa beat Italy 66-7 in a Nations Championship match at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Saturday, a record away win over the Italians.
The Springboks led 45-0 at half-time after scoring six tries, five of them in the first 25 minutes, and added three more after the break.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu's perfect day
Flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored 26 points: a solo try, nine conversions and a penalty, landing all 10 of his kicks at goal.
Wings Ethan Hooker and Kurt-Lee Arendse claimed five contestable kicks between them, and the rolling maul repeatedly troubled Italy. Lock Lood de Jager came into the starting line-up after Salmaan Moerat withdrew before the game, with Franco Mostert moving to the bench.
Top of the table
The win gives the Springboks the maximum 20 points after four Nations Championship games and a points difference of +140, which could be decisive when the final positions are settled.
