Springboks' commercial power drives player endorsement deals

Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s performances have matched his growing reputation. He was named South Africa’s URC Player of the Season and also earned the 2025 Players’ Player of the Year award from his peers. Despite interest from overseas clubs, he has chosen to remain in Cape Town, showing loyalty at a time when many players pursue international opportunities.

The Springboks brand remains one of the most commercially powerful in South Africa, with companies continuing to align themselves with the national team’s top stars. Retail giant Pick n Pay recently unveiled captain Siya Kolisi as a brand ambassador, while rising talent Canan Moodie has also secured a deal with Hyundai.

Sacha steals the spotlight for the wrong reasons

Twenty-two minutes into the match, he had a run-in with referee Marius van der Westhuizen. The moment came after Suleiman Hartzenberg was denied a try when the Stormers star’s final pass was ruled forward.
