Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s dad hints at critic’s racial undertone

Sacha Feinberg Mngomezulu’s father, Nick Feinberg, has laughed off comments made by a rugby critic chastising the young Springbok.

The famous flyhalf made headlines last week after he appeared to have lost his cool during a Stormers vs Scarlets game. His scuffle with another player earned him a yellow card and the scrutiny of a handful of 

However, some South Africans have referred to the criticism as “racial bias”.

SACHA FEINBERG-MNGOMZU’S DAD REACTS TO CRITIC

On the X platform, popular rugby account @oom_rugby reacted to a clip of sports commentator Brett Burns criticising Sacha Feinberg0-Mngomezulu over his “bad attitude”.

The X user commented, “Who is this tracer bullet? I’ve never seen him before, but he sure can talk a lot of k*k.”

Hinting at the critic’s racial undertones, Nick Feinberg cheekily responded: “You know those guys who talk about how great it was in the 80s”.

‘RASSIE DOESN’T HAVE TO PICK HIM’

In a clip posted by sports broadcaster Omnia Audio Africa, rugby critic Brett Burns called out Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu for getting into a scuffle during last week’s Stormers game against Scarlets.

The 23-year-old received a yellow card for fighting Welsh opponent Taine Plumtree, who is the son of Sharks coach John Plumtree.

The critic said: “[Stormers boss] John Dobson doesn’t have a choice but to pick Sacha. You need him in your franchise. All [Springboks coach] Rassie [Erasmus] has to do – he doesn’t even have to have a conversation – he just doesn’t have to pick him in the end-of-year tour…..Rassie just makes a statement that ‘we don’t have time for that in our team, laaitie. Calm down, and fix yourself.”

The critic continued: “I don’t think anybody needs to have a chat, because the country is chatting. Every single social media platform…it is all about Sacha and his bad attitude. It’s going to catch up to him very quickly.”
