Rassie Lauds SFM: The Boks’ Historic Triumph Was a Collective Effort

Rassie Erasmus highlights teamwork after Sacha Feinberg-Mgomezulu’s brilliant performance

Following the Springboks’ resounding victory over Argentina in the Rugby Championship, coach Rassie Erasmus highlighted the importance of teamwork, despite Sacha Feinberg-Mgomezulu’s outstanding performance. The Boks achieved an impressive victory with a score of 67-30 in Durban, where Feinberg-Mgomezulu accumulated 37 points, including three tries, setting a new individual scoring record for South Africa.

Nobody can deny that he was brilliant that day.

Erasmus, however, preferred not to focus all the attention on the 23-year-old player, pointing out that, although his performance was exceptional, there were also mistakes throughout the tournament. The coach emphasized that Feinberg-Mgomezulu’s success was the result of a collective effort. He mentioned the contribution of players like Damian de Allende and Damian Willemse, as well as the influence of the coaching staff. The team captain, Siya Kolisi, was more complimentary of Feinberg-Mgomezulu’s performance.

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

Kolisi highlighted the importance of teamwork and the support of teammates so that Feinberg-Mgomezulu could showcase his talent. The Springboks lead the Rugby Championship standings by one point, ahead of New Zealand, before the final match at Twickenham, London, on Saturday. A victory would secure the title for the Boks.
