Back to full fitness after a spell of injury setbacks, the 23-year-old reminded fans and selectors of his game-breaking potential. With the URC season heating up and the Springbok Test calendar on the horizon, Feinberg-Mngomezulu looks ready to make his mark once again.

The young playmaker, who had made a splash with the Springboks last year, was sidelined by injury just as he was building momentum on the international stage. Now, he’s proving that his class hasn’t faded, effortlessly stepping back into high-level rugby. Feinberg-Mngomezulu lit up the field on Saturday, not only with a hat-trick of tries but also with an outrageous offload that created a try for a teammate. His performance was key to the Stormers’ victory over the Irish side and showed his full range of skills.

It wasn’t just his scoring ability on display. His pace, vision, kicking accuracy, and precise distribution set him apart. Even with the occasional error, his overall impact on the game was undeniable and exactly the spark the Stormers needed.

The Springboks are spoiled for choice at fly-half. Alongside Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Manie Libbok continues to impress as a dynamic attacking option. Veteran Handre Pollard remains a reliable presence, while Jordan Hendrikse and Siya Masuku are still knocking on the door.

Damian Willemse is also always in the conversation, capable of slotting into the No 10 jersey when needed. But right now, it’s hard to ignore that this may well be Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s time to shine.
