His dad Nick – a radio personality – tweeted a picture of himself with his son following the ceremony with the caption: “Honoured”.
Nick – who was born in the UK to Aparteid hero Barry Feinberg whilst the latter was in exile – previously Omni Sports that he never pushed his son into sports. He also revealed that Sacha had rejected opportunities to play abroad, given his heritage.
He said: “Sacha has never had a desire to play for England. It’s not who he is or what he’s wanted. He’s always wanted the green and gold.
‘PROUD TO BE A SPRINGBOK’
Speaking in a media briefing last week, Sacha reflected on his first game against the All Blacks at Ellis Park.
He said: “There was a lot of pressure on me. A lot of guys will say they don’t see it, but I see it.
“I wanted to do well for the team and helping us get a victory. That was special, especially when we saw the support as we drove into the stadium.
Sacha added: “It was amazing, and I’m super proud to be a Bok.”
