Springboks prodigy Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has stated he feels ‘at home’ in the Springboks team following yet another impressive showing in the Green and Gold against the Wallabies.
The Boks defeated the Queenslanders 33–7 at Suncorp Stadium yesterday, their first victory in Brisbane since 2013, and Feinberg–Mngomezulu played a significant role in the triumph. It was his first start for his country.
After the game, Feinberg-Mngomezulu spoke to the media and said, “It felt amazing (to get that win) and I’m really happy that the guys could pull it together.”
“The Suncorp curse has been discussed a lot, so it was great to come here, have a good training week, and perform well on the day.”
He stated that his team needed to go past the convincing victory in order to prepare for their upcoming match against Australia the following weekend.
“I’m happy we did that, but we have to go again next week. That’s behind us now.”
“A building block for the future”
This year, the Stormers player has had an incredible start to his career in the Test arena. They defeated Wales 41–13 at Twickenham, where he made his debut off the bench. From then on, he only got better.
In Test one against Ireland, Feinberg-Mngomezulu was only given a brief cameo; however, in Test two, he stole the show as he stepped in for Willie le Roux after just two minutes.
He was once again chosen on the bench against Portugal, but he put up a strong display and stole the show when he came on.
As he made his debut start for the Green and Gold against the Wallabies, things picked up a notch, but he didn’t let it stop him from putting on another outstanding performance. He masterfully led the new expanded offence and contributed four conversions off the tee.
While his incredible beginning with the Springboks should undoubtedly be cherished, he made it clear that he intended for this to serve as a foundation for future growth. It’s my year to shine,” he declared.
“I firmly think that crown years are unique. It has truly been an incredible year. The speaker went on, “It’s a dream come true to shake hands with my heroes and watch them grow into my teammates.
Hopefully this is just a building block for the future.”
