Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, a Springbok playmaker, is focused on helping the DHL Stormers turn their season around. He sees his performance for the Stormers as a crucial step toward regaining his place in the national team.
Playmaker Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu believes helping the DHL Stormers turn things around this season is his first ‘stepping stone’ back into the Springbok setup. Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who was concussed during a defeat to the Sharks over two weeks ago, is set to return for the injury-hit Stormers in Saturday’s Vodacom URC clash against the Lions at Cape Town Stadium. “For any player, franchise rugby is the step to get to international rugby.
So I don’t take for granted any moment I have here, and I know this is a stepping stone to becoming a better player,” he told reporters on Tuesday. “I’m just working hard here and trying to do my job correctly, then we will hopefully get some good outcomes from that. “The national team isn’t something you consciously think about when you’re in the setup here, but just executing your individual roles will set you up for your journey.” The 22-year-old made a strong statement in his first foray into the Bok team in 2024 before a knee injury cut short his Test season, and was nominated for World Rugby’s Men’s 15s Breakthrough Player of the Year award. The Stormers are 0-4 in all competitions following a heavy defeat to Harlequins in the Investec Champions Cup last week, and Feinberg-Mngomezulu is acutely aware that his efforts for the Cape outfit will put him in good stead with the national selectors in 2025. “Right here and now I’m kind of just worried about the Stormers journey, and I’m sure when we turn things around it’ll give guys a better look for national selection,” the flyhalf added.“For now we just want to put our best foot forward in the URC and let the rest take care of itself. The international window is six, seven months away, it’s a long time; two good fixtures in two weeks and it’s a whole different story.” A generational talent with supreme skills on attack, defence, and from the kicking tee, the eight-Test Feinberg-Mngomezulu produced some eye-catching performances in his breakthrough season for the Bok
