Feinberg-Mgomezulu Impresses: Rassie Highlights Support in Record Boks

Rassie Erasmus Highlights the Support Behind Sacha Feinberg-Mgomezulu’s Brilliant Performance

Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus acknowledged Sacha Feinberg-Mgomezulu’s outstanding performance against Argentina in the Rugby Championship, but emphasized the importance of teamwork and the support provided to the young player. The Boks achieved a resounding victory over Los Pumas with a score of 67-30 in Durban. Feinberg-Mgomezulu was key in the triumph, accumulating 37 points, including three tries, setting a new record for individual scoring in a single match for South Africa. Erasmus, however, preferred to maintain perspective and point out that the success of the opening was not exclusively individual. The coach highlighted that Feinberg-Mgomezulu, despite his brilliance, also made mistakes during the tournament.

Nobody can deny that he was brilliant that day.

Erasmus added that it is crucial to give players time to develop and build their reputation in the field of international matches. He mentioned the crucial support of players like Damian de Allende, Damian Willemse and Manie, as well as the coaching staff, including Tony Brown and Handre Pollard. On the other hand, the team captain, Siya Kolisi, openly praised Feinberg-Mgomezulu’s amazing performance, highlighting his control of the game and his ability to make important decisions.

Sacha was incredible, not only for the way he scored tries, but for the way he controlled the game.

Kolisi highlighted that the team works together so that each player can show their potential, and that Feinberg-Mgomezulu, with his ability to run with the ball, is an example of this. The Boks lead the Rugby Championship standings by one point, ahead of New Zealand, before the last match at Twickenham, London, on Saturday. A victory would secure the title for the Boks.
