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 paymaya
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 paymaya
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 paymaya
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 paymaya
In his post-match press conference, Nienaber laid out the reasons behind the decision and was adamant that Libbok would accept why it happened paymaya
“The beauty of this group is that we’re open and honest,” said Nienaber paymaya
“Because we have the right players, the players accept it paymaya
“Sometimes things are not going your way paymaya
We’ve done it with numerous others paymaya
Bongi [Mbonambi] in 2018, we took him off after 35 minutes paymaya
That specific day he wasn’t on fire but then he started the next week paymaya
“It’s the same with [Libbok] – we took him off early because things didn’t go his way paymaya
The main thing is that everything is for the team and they understand that paymaya
That’s the beauty of the squad, you’re open and honest and players take it on the chin paymaya
”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 paymaya
“It doesn’t mean he won’t start next week but sometimes, unfortunately, it is like that,” added Nienaber paymaya
“That’s how it is paymaya
“It’s for South Africa – it’s not for the individual or the ego, it’s for South Africa paymaya
We get messages from schoolkids and we see every single message they send paymaya
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 paymaya
