Sacha Feinberg-Mngomozulu - is he the real deal?

In 2023 there was a number of dicussions on the fly-half and while some wer punting Libbok I was supporting Sacha as the future Springbok flyhalf.   As late as February 2024 nobody actually know abou him and  kep suggesting Shaca as rge frontrunner,

Now we know me about him and watch the follwing two videos:-

He is the real deal and what the above show the nature of rugby  played by SA chamged as well..    

Pollard i admired a lot - but he does not have the ball skills Sach a has.   

Sacha…it’s not that hard.

Do bears shit in the woods?

Of course, he is the real deal... T he only question is if he will continue improving.  Already, he is the most all-round flyhalf I have ever seen for South Africa.

That is why he is the key to future backline attacks by the Springboks and why I am optimitic about what is going to happen iro SA Rugby.   

My late father - a rugby addict - told us when we were kids - that the  Springbok backline only function if there is a Jew playng in the backlne.   Maybe the old man was correct - Sacha is from Lithuanian Jewish descent  xo on the one hand and from pure Zulu on te other side, 

He has pace and an instinctibe ability a few playes have.   Wish we have some more players like him in the backline.      

The only question is if he will continue improving

Well dats the question, at 21yrs one would think his best years are ahead of him......time will tell.

 saw hm playng n the Unde 20 SA team and he was excellen and the player of the orunament - he was promsing and I beleved from then that he was good - now he is special.   There was certasily improvements in his game from 2022 and there is every sign that he wll get even better and like th commentator i one video said he will have the world at his feet,   

I am sur he ill coninue improing with Browne helping his further development is ssured.    .     

I'm pretty sure everyone agrees SFM is our best and most exciting flyhalf, but he needs to be a reliable place kicker as well otherwise you have to pick a reliable place kicker elsewhere.

Hope Sacha gets there. He's not there yet. Everything else is potentially world class.

for becs ..............

There is one thin esential for especially flyhalfs and that is ball sense and instinctie decision making.    The latter eement is very cear in te case of SFM.   Physicality is one requirement - but of  more iportance ito elements mentioned is n the case of flyhalfs even more mportant.   You rarely\find all those requrements in one player,    

Since 1995 we had kicking dummies as flyh alf and Jame was as thick a a brick/    Pollard was better - as a flyhalf but he lost pace and is no really a  attacking force anymore,    I mudt add e never had a flyhal anwhere near to where Sacha is already and he can get better  wth experience,              

Ai BB wat doen jy? One of my all-time favorites from a golden era of musiek.

Jesus Mike, ease up on the crystal meth!

Spoeg more likely, dribbling down his chin.
