Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is excited about Cape Town Test

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu speaks about the Boks preparations in the tweet below:

Speaking on the SA Rugby website, the flyhalf discussed the Springboks' recent loss to Ireland, which they do not want to repeat in Cape Town.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu said:

"We don't want a repeat of losing the second Test, like what happened against Ireland in July, and that's something we pushed for in Australia. If we can be as hungry and determined next week and get a good result, it would take us one step closer to hopefully securing the Castle Lager Rugby Championship title.

Fans back the Boks

Local rugby fans praised the Boks on social media, while others suggested changes and questioned the side's tactics, which included the early introduction of Eben Etzebeth.

Sameeg Norodien noted a possible change for the Boks:

"Kriel is on fire at 13, but if Rassie feels that Am needs a start, no problem. I feel we should play Kriel on Saturday, and after winning this game in Cape Town, change the whole team for Argentina."

Dean Greeves thinks Williams should start:

"As much as I like Reinach, his decision-making at the base of the scrum wasn't the best. Start Williams and bring Reinach on for the second half."

Brett Krause questioned the Boks' tactics:

"One tactic I couldn't understand was subbing Wiese so early; he was absolutely massive in the first half."

Siyabulela Sikithi wants silverware:

"I would be happy if we can secure the Rugby Championship this year."

Dhirshan Gobind admires the Boks:

"Old Bok teams would have lost this game. We really are the best team at present!"
