WATCH: Springbok Makazole Mapimpi's 'wife is giving birth', says coach Rassie Erasmus

Sorry people with crushes on Springboks champ Makazole Mapimpi... it appears that the Bok is about to welcome a baby.

But that's not all, Mapimpi is also (allegedly) married.

In a media briefing, South Africa's coach, Rassie Erasmus, responded to a question about why Mapimpi has been non-existent in games lately.

Rassie says: "Mapimpi... his wife's giving birth. We don't want to keep him away from that."

Most fans and those with their heart set on Mapimpi couldn't believe that the Bok had a 'wife' (allegedly and to be confirmed) since there have been no reports, pictures or any announcement from Mapimpi tying himself to a relationship - let alone marriage.

A huge congratulations to Mapimpi and 'his wife' on little Mapimpi... we hope the Bokkie is healthy and happy.
