Kolisi hails Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s performance

Kolisi also celebrated Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s performance, but was also inspired by the team’s performance.

He was full of praise for Sacha’s performance, highlighting not just his try-scoring ability but also his composure and control throughout the game.

“He was outstanding, not only in finishing chances but in how he dictated play,” Kolisi said.

“The players around him supported his decision-making, and when we function well as a unit, it allows everyone to showcase their individual strengths. That’s something the coaches always emphasise.

“They select each of us for a reason, because we all bring something unique. For Sacha, one of his greatest assets is his running game, but it takes the rest of the team doing their jobs to put him in a position to use that effectively. He really stepped up today, showing leadership and taking responsibility — exactly what we hoped to see. Hopefully, he can build on this next week.”

Kolisi highlighted the team’s increasing maturity and emphasis on shared leadership, noting that many players are growing in confidence and stepping into leadership roles.

He explained that decision-making is a collective effort rather than relying on a single voice, with even the most experienced players open to input from those with limited caps. This collaborative approach, he said, is a key factor that makes the team unique and strong.
