Springboks Downplay Feinberg-Mngomezulu Slump as Tony Brown Offers Guidance

Attack coach Tony Brown says the Bok setup will steady the flyhalf.

Overview

  • Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is in a dip as the Stormers slip to a three-game losing run, following two defeats to the Sharks and a 24-10 loss to the Lions, who played much of the second half with 13 men.
  • The Stormers removed Feinberg-Mngomezulu from the captaincy before the Lions match to ease his load.
  • Speaking at a Cape Town media briefing, Brown reassured the 19-cap playmaker and urged him to use the players around him rather than trying to do everything himself.
  • Brown said the Springbok structures and role clarity mean the national team will not be affected by the flyhalf’s current form.
  • Rassie Erasmus highlighted depth at No. 10 as a buffer, referencing the current options plus Jordan, with Manie Libbok in Japan and Handre Pollard showing a recent uptick at the Bulls.
