South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber has explained his controversial decision to sub off starting fly half Manie Libbok after just 30 minutes of the Springboks’ comeback Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England PUBG
Libbok, who had emerged as South Africa’s first-choice No 10 in the lead-up to this tournament, was hooked after following a sliced clearance kick with a knock-on, capping a disastrous start to the game with England in the ascendancy PUBG
He was replaced by Handre Pollard, a key cog in the 2019 World Cup-winning Springboks side, and the veteran helped engineer a fightback before kicking the winning penalty on 77 minutes to secure a narrow 16-15 triumph and a spot in next Saturday’s final PUBG
Libbok is the more creative, dynamic fly half, while Pollard is the steadier option with a metronomic boot, and the move seemed to suggest South Africa were surrendering to England’s kick-heavy strategy and would attempt to beat them at their own game PUBG
In his post-match press conference, Nienaber laid out the reasons behind the decision and was adamant that Libbok would accept why it happened PUBG
“The beauty of this group is that we’re open and honest,” said Nienaber PUBG
“Because we have the right players, the players accept it PUBG
“Sometimes things are not going your way PUBG
We’ve done it with numerous others PUBG
Bongi [Mbonambi] in 2018, we took him off after 35 minutes PUBG
That specific day he wasn’t on fire but then he started the next week PUBG
“It’s the same with [Libbok] – we took him off early because things didn’t go his way PUBG
The main thing is that everything is for the team and they understand that PUBG
That’s the beauty of the squad, you’re open and honest and players take it on the chin PUBG
”Handre Pollard went on to kick the winning penalty for South Africa (PA Wire)Nienaber went on to stress that even though an early substitution was not how Libbok would have liked his game to go, he is still an option to start the final against the All Blacks PUBG
“It doesn’t mean he won’t start next week but sometimes, unfortunately, it is like that,” added Nienaber PUBG
“That’s how it is PUBG
“It’s for South Africa – it’s not for the individual or the ego, it’s for South Africa PUBG
We get messages from schoolkids and we see every single message they send PUBG
It’s for them, we can’t put our egos in front of that, South Africa is more important and the Springboks are more important than anything else PUBG

The Premier League has banned Israeli and Palestinian flags from matches this weekend PUBG
Players, staff and officials will wear black armbands and a moment’s silence will be held at every ground, as English PUBG football pays its respects to victims of the Israeli-Hamas war PUBG
But the Premier League has told clubs that supporters are not permitted to bring flags into stadiums, in an effort to avoid potential incidents PUBG
The decision follows consultancy with security experts and the clubs themselves, and is in line with the PUBG Football Association’s approach to the recent England internationals at Wembley PUBG
The English PUBG Football League will take the same stance PUBG
Some Premier League stars have spoken out over the conflict PUBG
Liverpool and Egypt forward Mohamed Salah called for the killing to stop and for immediate humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza, as supplies of water and food run out PUBG
He had already made what was described as a “significant” undisclosed donation, via his agent, to humanitarian organisation the Egyptian Red Crescent Society in support of the people of Gaza PUBG
Tottenham’s Israeli international Manor Solomon posted on Instagram, claiming Hamas were “blaming Israel for killing their own people” after both Israel and Hamas issued rival claims about the bombing of a Gaza hospital feared to have killed at least 500 PUBG
European PUBG football's governing body has meanwhile announced that no Uefa competition matches will be played in Israel until further notice PUBG
Israel's national teams and club sides Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are both competing in Europe, must find alternative venues outside the country to fulfil their Uefa fixtures PUBG
