Springbok star Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu could be out of action for weeks after sustaining an injury while in action for the Stormers this past weekend.

The 22-year-old flyhalf limped off during Saturday’s 29-10 win over the Lions in the United Rugby Championship clash. He left the field in the 27th minutes after getting tackled by Lions prop Asenathi Ntlabakanye.

Stormers’ Director of Rugby, John Dobson gave an update on Feinberg-Mngomezulu‘s injury.

“He’s got a hip pointer, I don’t know where that is or what it is, but it’s funny, in the old days lammies (dead legs) and now haematomas, knocks and contusions, ankle sprains, he’s now got a hip pointer,” he said after the match.

“I don’t know (the extent of the injury). I’ve just said to him now it would be nice for him to get to half-time for us at some stage, but apparently you don’t know with hip pointers for a while.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu could be out for weeks following an injury

“It could be two days, could be a couple of weeks.”

Feinberg-Mngomezulu‘s injury comes shortly after he had returned to action following a knee injury he sustained against the All Blacks earlier this year, which required surgery.

Stormers forward coach Rito Hlungwani said the flyhalf was a valuable member of the family

“In a perfect world, we really want him to string a couple of games together,” he said.

“Even when injured he is always around,” Hlungwani added as per Planet Rugby. “He always wants to give back to the team in terms of analysing and contributing with feedback.”

Feinberg-Mngomezulu‘s injury might not be serious but could hamper his form. Having made his Springbok debut this year, he has been one of the players to watch.

How good has Sacha been this year?
