The fly-half claimed three tries, kicked eight conversions and slotted two penalties for South Africa, who lead New Zealand by one point with one round remaining.

The 23-year-old's haul bettered by two the 35 of retired fullback Percy Montgomery for the Springboks against Namibia.

Flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit scored two tries for the home team, who dominated the second half after leading 25-23 at halftime.

Had Feinberg-Mngomezulu not stolen the show at Kings Park in the Indian Ocean port city, Du Toit would have been a candidate for the player of the match award.

Other try scorers for South Africa were hooker Malcolm Marx, winger Cheslin Kolbe, scrumhalf Morne van den Berg and substitute back Manie Libbok.
