Next opportunity
The former Bishops pupil entered the match on 120 career Test points after 16 Tests – at an average of 7.5 points per match. That had placed him 26th in terms of points scored in the green and gold jersey.
Come the final whistle, Feinberg-Mngomezulu had moved to 137 Test points scored and into 20th place overall at an new average of 8.06 points per outing.
He’s now just four points behind current team-mate Manie Libbok (141 points in 26 Tests).
Feinberg-Mngomezulu may well be rested for the Springboks’ next Test against Italy in Turin next weekend (Saturday, 15 November at 14:40 SA time) in order to give Libbok – and Handre Pollard – some much needed game time.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu should, however, be back in the No 10 jersey for following weekend against Ireland in Dublin.
