• The 24-year-old's out-of-form issue is now a major concern for the Springboks, with Tony Brown addressing it in a recent interview

Springboks attack coach Tony Brown has offered a form of advice to Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu as he's struggling for form at his club, the Stormers.

The Stormers have hit a worrying run of poor results, with Feinberg-Mngomezulu also battling for consistency over the past three games.

The Cape-based team have endured a difficult spell in recent weeks, suffering three derby losses in a row, with two coming against the Sharks, followed by a poor outing against the Lions at Ellis Park on Saturday, February 28, 2026.

The Springboks star was handed the Stormers captaincy for the first time in January 2026. After guiding the side to victory over the Leicester Tigers in the Champions Cup, he also led the team in their back-to-back defeats to the Sharks.

Sacha's form: A concern for Springboks

Feinberg-Mngomezulu, despite a poor run of form with the Stormers, was named in the 49-man squad Rassie Erasmus released for the Springboks alignment Camp taking place in Cape Town.

The 24-year-old form is a major concern for the Boks as he's one of their important players heading into the 2026 season after showing his impressive form during the 2025 campaign.

Brown, during a recent interview, addressed the concerns over the Stormers star's struggle with form in recent games. He jokingly indicated that Sacha might simply need a bit of care and support, stressing that the Springboks setup is well-suited to help him rediscover his best form.

“In the Springbok environment, with the way we train, play and assign roles, he naturally fits in,” Brown explained. “He clearly understands what is expected of him and doesn’t feel the need to take everything on his shoulders.”
