Feinberg-Mngomezulu confirms successful surgery after ankle injury

Feinberg-Mngomezulu has undergone successful ankle surgery following the injury suffered against Cardiff, with a lengthy absence ahead that could affect his Springbok availability for the Rugby Championship.

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has confirmed he underwent successful surgery on the ankle injury sustained while scoring a try in the Stormers' 44-21 URC quarterfinal win over Cardiff at DHL Stadium in late May. The 24-year-old posted updates from hospital on Thursday, pictured in a medical boot.

The injury forced him out of the Stormers' semifinal against Leinster, and while no official return timeline has been confirmed, the damage is expected to keep him sidelined for several months — potentially threatening his availability for the early Nations Championship fixtures and raising doubts over his participation in the Rugby Championship matches against New Zealand later in the year.

Rich also clears the injury fog around the Bok squad and makes a pointed case that the Bulls' URC final chances hinge entirely on whether they can replicate the Stormers' defensive aggression against Leinster.
