RISING STAR: YOUNG SPRINGBOK KNOWS THE HARD GRAFT STARTS NOW
Rising Springbok star Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is working towards feeling at home in the Bok system, after making his debut last month and being heavily involved in the two-Test Ireland series.
The 22-year-old made his first appearance off the bench against Wales at Twickenham in June, and has followed that up with bench appearances in both Irish Tests in Pretoria and Durban.
However, it was this past weekend when he received a massive baptism of fire when he had to replace the concussed Willie le Roux in the second minute of the game at Kings Park, with him putting in a very accomplished performance in testing circumstances.
With three Bok caps to his name now Feinberg-Mngomezulu was asked whether he felt at home in the national team set-up, but admitted he still had plenty of work to do.
