Rassie Erasmus Hails Springboks Star After Breaking Record in SA’s Victory Over Argentina
Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus has singled out one of his key players for praise after leading them to victory against Argentina in their Rugby Championship clash in Durban.
South Africa proved to be too good for the Pumas as they claimed a resounding 67-30 victory at the Hollywoodbets Stadium on Saturday, September 27, 2025.
It was a dominant display from the Springboks as they edged closer to retaining the Rugby Championship title this season.
Erasmus hails Feinberg-Mngomezulu
Erasmus praised the outstanding display of man of the match Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who made history with his record-breaking performance, and highlighted the team’s evolving playing style.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu delivered a sensational performance, scoring a hat-trick of tries and amassing 37 points — the highest ever by a Springbok in a Test match.
Sacha's heroic performance against the Pumas helped Erasmus’ side climb to the top of the Castle Lager Rugby Championship standings with one game remaining.

“Nobody can deny just how outstanding he was,” Erasmus remarked.
He explained that expecting a player to instantly reach world-class status is unrealistic; it’s a gradual process.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu has continued to develop with each game, showing progress in matches against New Zealand and Australia, despite having only around 11 caps to his name.
Erasmus also praised the support from teammates like Damian de Allende, Damian Willemse, and Manie Libbok, all of whom contributed strong performances.
However, he emphasised that Feinberg-Mngomezulu was unquestionably the standout performer and delivered something truly special on the field.
