Sacha on missed kicks: 'Off target, not off track'
The flyhalf came under fire after missing a series of crucial penalty kicks.
Last year, Sacha was inducted into the national rugby team and has made nine test match appearances.
In an Instagram post, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu directly responded to criticism of his missed penalty kicks.
Posting a series of pics from Saturday's game, he shared: 'Off target — Not off track. Great experience out in Nelspruit! Thank you, South Africa.'
On social media, rugby fans claimed that Sacha had gotten off lightly as compared to fellow flyhalf Manie Libbok, who has often been criticised over his performances.
Meanwhile, Rassie Erasmus has conceded that while Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu 'made the most errors', he was 'pleased' with his performance.
In a post-match briefing, the Springbok coach said: 'Sacha is not necessarily the first choice. Number ten, we have Manie, who is pretty much on song, and we saw with Handre when he came on that he is pretty solid.
'You can't just look at his goal kicking. He struggled before doing pretty well, but in the warm-up he got a hip pointer injury and we weren't quite sure if we should push him through the game. But he wanted to play, but that's not an excuse for the way he kicked at poles.
Rassie added: 'We are pleased overall, it's his second start for us this year and he is younger than the other fly-halves.'

Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus' flyhalf options overflow as he ponders Rugby Championship
Manie Libbok's attacking flair could be key in the Springboks' push to beat the All Blacks at Eden Park for the first time since 1937. Photo: Backpagepix Image: Backpagepix COMMENT There is no shortage of Springbok supporters considering the big question: Who will start at flyhalf for South Africa against the All Blacks in Auckland this September? Few fans have a definitive answer, and it's doubtful whether Rassie Erasmus is entirely certain either. The fact that Erasmus must weigh up the unique strengths of Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Manie Libbok and Handré Pollard — and still not have a clear frontrunner — speaks to the Springboks' remarkable depth as they build towards the Rugby Championship. Handre Pollard of the Springboks. Photo: Backpagepix Image: Backpagepix That campaign kicks off with back-to-back clashes against the Wallabies on 16 August in Johannesburg and a week later in Cape Town. It is during those two Tests that Erasmus must settle on the half-back pairing that gives the Boks the best chance of claiming a historic win at Eden Park — where South Africa last triumphed in 1937. Grant Williams, through excellent recent form, appears to have nailed down the scrumhalf jersey. But flyhalf remains far more contested after mixed performances in the recent matches: Feinberg-Mngomezulu looked out of sorts against Georgia, Libbok dazzled against Italy, and Pollard has calmly closed out matches with trademark assurance. Pollard, the 2019 World Cup hero, remains the most reliable option, though he arguably lacks the attacking flair of the younger duo. With new attack coach Tony Brown looking to sharpen the Springboks' offence ahead of the 2027 World Cup, that difference in playing style matters. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu of the Springboks. Photo: Backpagepix Image: Backpagepix Perhaps Erasmus can have it both ways — start with the explosive Libbok or talented Feinberg-Mngomezulu, and close the game with Pollard's dependable boot and experience. On current form, Libbok should start and Pollard finish. Feinberg-Mngomezulu is undeniably gifted, but still raw. A touch of humility — not arrogance — may help his development. At scrumhalf, Erasmus has opted for a blend of youth and experience. The 34-year-old Cobus Reinach will back himself against Williams and Morne van den Berg, but the latter two are clearly being groomed for 2027. That said, veteran Faf de Klerk reminded everyone of his value with a typically fierce cameo against Georgia. His presence ensures no scrumhalf can afford to relax — especially with a tenacious competitor like Faf snapping at their heels. Meanwhile, Jaden Hendrikse has found himself out in the cold after an underwhelming URC campaign with the Sharks. If he is to force his way back into the Springbok reckoning, he must make the most of the Currie Cup — a competition that remains a vital proving ground in South Africa, unlike in many rival rugby nations. Other recent Boks including Vincent Tshituka, Lukhanyo Am, Makazole Mapimpi, Salmaan Moerat, Evan Roos and Neethling Fouché have also been released to the Currie Cup. While no one will write off a warrior like Mapimpi, his release and Edwill van der Merwe's retention signal Erasmus's gaze is fixed firmly on the future. Van der Merwe has scored five tries in three Tests and shown he belongs in the same conversation as Cheslin Kolbe and Kurt-Lee Arendse. Springbok Squad Forwards: Lood de Jager (Wild Knights), Pieter-Steph du Toit (Toyota Verblitz), Jean-Luc du Preez (Bordeaux Begles), Eben Etzebeth (Sharks), Vincent Koch (Sharks), Siya Kolisi (Sharks), Wilco Louw (Vodacom Bulls), Malcolm Marx (Kubota Spears), Bongi Mbonambi (Sharks), Franco Mostert (Honda Heat), Ox Nche (Sharks), Ruan Nortje (Bulls), Asenathi Ntlabakanye (Lions), Kwagga Smith (Shizuoka Blue Revs), RG Snyman (Leinster), Marnus van der Merwe (Scarlets), Marco van Staden (Bulls), Boan Venter (Edinburgh), Jan-Hendrik Wessels (Bulls), Cobus Wiese (Bulls) Backs: Kurt-Lee Arendse (Bulls), Damian de Allende (Wild Knights), Andre Esterhuizen (Sharks), Aphelele Fassi (Sharks), Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (Stormers), Ethan Hooker (Sharks), Jesse Kriel (Canon Eagles), Cheslin Kolbe (Tokyo Sungoliath), Willie le Roux (Bulls), Manie Libbok (Hanazono Kintetsu Liners), Canan Moodie (Bulls), Handre Pollard (Vodacom Bulls), Cobus Reinach (Stormers), Edwill van der Merwe (Sharks), Morne van den Berg (Lions), Grant Williams (Sharks), Damian Willemse (Stormers).

Orlando Pirates news: Rele Mofokeng transfer, R44 million offer?
Orlando Pirates winger Relebohile Mofokeng has been the subject of transfer speculation, but will he leave the club? The 20-year-old superstar has been linked with moves to the Premier League, La Liga, the Saudi Pro League, and teams in Israel. After three impressive seasons, many believe it is the perfect time for Mofokeng to make a move to Europe. Earlier this month, his attacking partner, Mohau Nkota, signed with Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq after just one season in the PSL. 'For Rele, I think he needs to continue doing his work the way he has been doing,' said Nkambule said as per KickOff. 'The years still allow him. It's not like it was his last season or something. He still has a big chance, he can still play another 15 years to 20 years. 'He just needs to relax and play football. If you check the profile of Rele and Nkota, it's not the same. 'Rele's profile is stronger than Nkota, that's why I think it won't affect him that much because Nkota has left,' he added. With Nkota leaving for Saudi Arabia this transfer period, Nkambule said Mofokeng won't be allowed to join any other club as he is valued. 'But if you check he's going where, Saudi Arabia, it's not like he went to Europe in top five leagues. 'Rele is a star player and the face of Orlando Pirates now and for him to leave it won't be easy because for Nkota (Ettifaq) to negotiate with Dr Khoza was maybe easy, but for Rele, he's going to want a lot of money. He's special that boy,' said the former Chiefs star. This week, Soccer Laduma reported that Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv were willing to splash R44 million on the winger. With nearly two months until the transfer window closes, Pirates have all the time in the world to listen to better offers for Relebohile Mofokeng.
