Dan Biggar blown away by Feinberg-Mngomezulu as Eddie Jones raises World Cup concern

Feinberg-Mngomezulu was in outstanding form as South Africa thrashed Italy 66-7 in Turin last weekend, scoring 26 points and showcasing the attacking qualities that have made him one of the most exciting players in world rugby.

Former Wales flyhalf Biggar was particularly impressed by the 24-year-old's all-round performance, highlighting his ability to combine pace, power and attacking instinct.

"He was spectacular," Biggar said on ITV Sport's The Debrief show.

"Is he going to come up against better opposition who challenge him in more ways? Absolutely, but this was a game where he was able to showcase all his talent: his pace, his power, his finishing ability. The stats speak for themselves: 26 points, defenders beaten, line breaks, 50/22s, assists.

"For me, he is the best 10 in the world currently. He's got everything. There isn't a weakness in his game."

Former England coach Jones, meanwhile, suggested that Feinberg-Mngomezulu's spectacular style is somewhat at odds with the historical profile of flyhalves who have lifted the Webb Ellis Cup.

Jones pointed out that World Cup-winning teams have traditionally relied on dependable, percentage-playing No 10s rather than exceptionally gifted attacking playmakers.

"I reckon one of the interesting things. I'm not arguing one way or the other, but if you look at the history of World Cup winners, the 10s have always been generally tradesmen-like 10s," Jones explained.

"They've very rarely been brilliant players. Like he is brilliant, he can do things other people can't do. There have been people who play the percentage as well, do the one odd, brilliant thing, but generally they're really solid players.

"So it goes against the history of the World Cup, but new history is happening all the time and he has certainly got the skill set."

Jones was nevertheless impressed by the physical attributes and kicking ability that make the Stormers star such a dangerous prospect, believing there is no reason he cannot succeed at the globaL showpiece.

"Physically, he's a big guy; it gives him a great advantage. He has got a great kicking game, so there's no reason why he can't be."
