Sacha’s magic second try seals the Steco moment
The Steco moment from the Springboks’ 61‑7 demolition of Japan belonged to Sacha Feinberg‑Mngomezulu — and everyone on Keo & Zels agreed.
As Keo said straight after the match, “Sacha FM, he’s our Steco. We agreed on that — that second try where he just skinned them.”
It was pure brilliance.
The young flyhalf took the ball with defenders closing fast, bent the defensive line on the outside, stumbled, regained his feet, and still outran the cover to score.
Zels described it perfectly: “When he touches the ball, it’s like the other team goes into half‑speed.”
That moment summed up what makes Feinberg‑Mngomezulu special — vision, calm, acceleration, and the rare ability to make everything around him slow down. It wasn’t just a highlight; it was a statement that the next generation of Bok playmakers is already here.
Keo called it “La Freak in the nicest possible sense,” marvelling at how the 22‑year‑old turned what looked like a broken play into a finish worthy of a winger. It was creativity and control rolled into one — the kind of moment sponsors love and supporters replay all week.

Beyond the flash, the try also symbolised how the Boks have evolved. They respected Japan up front, built pressure, then unleashed flair at the perfect moment — a complete, balanced performance. The PowerPlay captured that duality: structured dominance leading to spontaneous magic.
So, for this week, the Steco PowerPlay goes to Sacha Feinberg‑Mngomezulu, the man whose class lit up Saitama and whose confidence is fuelling South Africa’s northern tour.
