Springbok fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu etched his name into South African rugby history by scoring a record-breaking 37 points in a single Test match.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s tally came in South Africa’s 67–30 victory over Argentina in the Rugby Championship at the packed Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium in Durban, this past Saturday. His haul included three tries and 10 successful kicks from the tee, surpassing Percy Montgomery’s long standing record of 35 points set in 2007.
The 23-year-old was central to a dominant Springbok second-half display as the Boks were in high spirits at a packed stadium in Durban. Springbok Captain, Siya Kolisi, praised Feinberg-Mngomezulu and tipped him to be next in line to carry the team in the future.
After a narrow 25–23 lead at halftime, South Africa surged clear, with Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s accuracy and attacking flair ensuring a bonus-point win.
The result moves the Springboks to the top of the Rugby Championship table with one round remaining as they look to retain the Heritage Cup.
Coach Rassie Erasmus praised Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s composure, calling the performance “a glimpse of the future” for South African rugby.
