Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is undoubtedly the player to watch when it comes to the next generation of Springboks. In fact, many rugby fans believe that he has what it takes to succeed famous flyhalf Handre Pollard.

Backing the young prodigy is his proud family, made up of well-known faces.

Sacha helped the Boks beat Portugal 64-31 at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.

FUTURE NUMBER 10?

On social media, many Springbok fans praised Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu for his stellar performance on the pitch.

The 22-year-old substituted Manie Libbok in the number 10 position as flyhalf. And many believe his skills in Bloemfontein have moved him up the pecking order as the future Springbok flyhalf.

@puzafriday101: “I am going to say it now: Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu should be the main flyhalf at the next World Cup. Pollard to play a supporting role:

@SkippyJR10: “Sacha might be our new flyhalf for the next generation.”

@WRosey9: “We have found our answer for the Springbok 10. The inevitable. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu”

SACHA FEINBERG-MGOMEZULU: WHO ARE HIS PARENTS, FAMILY?

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu was born to British-born Nick Feinberg and South African Makhosazana Mngomezulu, of whom he carries both surnames.

Nick is a well known Heart FM DJ and is also a respected sports writer for the Daily Voice.

He told Jacaranda FM of his son’s rise to fame: “I’ve been on the radio probably over 25 years … but now I’m completely redundant, and I’m just known as Sacha’s dad.

“There’s no more Nick. In fact, in the office, I’m called SD for short. I go out with Sacha, you can hardly sit and have a meal. Everyone’s all over him. It’s been a wild one.”

Sacha’s mother is an advocate in the Cape Bar and often retweets messages of support for her son.

Sacha’s paternal grandfather is anti-Apartheid activist Barry Feinberg.

According to the SABC, Barry was a distinguished artist, poet, and author who “played a pivotal role behind the scenes in designing and creating publicity materials for the anti-Apartheid movement.”

Like Sacha, his brother Nathan Mngomezulu is also a celebrity and is known for his appearances in the Netflix show Too Hot To Handle. He is now dating Perfect Match star Elys Hutchinson.

Nathan – also a model – has often praised his younger sibling on social media.
