WATCH | Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu on facing the All Blacks

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu showed in his superb display for the Springboks in their 31-27 victory over the All Blacks on Saturday, he is a generational talent with the world at his feet.

The 22-year-old has the potential to become a global superstar, but he remains firmly rooted in terms of understanding where he is in his life, career and how much he still needs to learn.

“It is definitely a stepping stone,” Feinberg-Mngomezulu said after the epic test against the arch rivals on Saturday evening.

“Even today, there were a couple of errors and I’m still learning. I’m not a complete number 10 yet.

“We’ve got a guy like Handre who is a great number 10 and I am still learning from him. I still see him as our number one flyhalf and he’s a great player.

“I’ve got work to do still, but the results help and they get me to progress a bit

Feinberg-Mngomezulu feels he is still growing in the number 10 jersey and is nowhere near the finished product.

“I have a lot to do and things to fix… knowing how to control your temperament, make the right calls, so it’s pretty much everything.

“I’m 22 years old, so I have a long way to go and a lot to learn.”

The former Bishops schoolboy prodigy contributed 22 points, but missed a penalty and conversion of Bongi Mbonambi’s try.

However, that had a lot to do with the shot-clock not appearing on the scoreboard.

That led to confusion and a chat with Irish referee Andrew Brace, but Feinberg-Mngomezulu said the match official apologised for the faux pas.

“The shot clock wasn’t up, but the ref came up to me and said I have five seconds,” Feinberg-Mngomezulu said.

“With 60 000, it’s hard to hear that, so I was frustrated that I couldn’t see the shot clock. I’m just happy it wasn’t a two-point game and that it wasn’t a potential game-defining moment.

“We spoke about it and he apologised for the shot clock not being up. It wasn’t his fault that the shot clock wasn’t up.”
