Sacha's Ankle Test: Where Does Rassie See Him Best, Argentina or the Stormers? | Weekend Wrap

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu jumped on his ankle this weekend, and Arrie was there to film it. MW Welman and Arrie Hougaard break down what Arrie's exclusive pitch-side footage actually shows, and why the timing hands Rassie Erasmus a genuine selection puzzle: does Sacha's return serve him and the Springboks better in Argentina on 8 August, or does it serve the DHL Stormers better to have him back for the All Blacks the day before. It's a case-by-case call Rassie has already signaled he's willing to make, and this episode lays out both sides. Beyond the Sacha question, the Springboks, though composed and disciplined, but still hunting for cohesion, kept Wales scoreless for a third clean sheet in two Tests, while the All Blacks made their own statement in a dominant win over Ireland that sets up a fascinating clash of styles on 22 August. The Junior Springboks retained their World Championship title in Georgia despite a TMO-heavy final, and Boland pulled off round one of the Currie Cup's first upset, beating the Bulls 24-10.
