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

Ellis Genge believes England enter their World Cup semi-final against South Africa on Saturday with “everyone wanting us to lose” PUBG
England head into the penultimate round as the tournament’s only unbeaten team and as standard bearers for northern hemisphere rugby following the exit of more heralded rivals Ireland, France and Scotland PUBG
Facing them is one of the great Springbok sides, who are strong favourites to triumph in the rematch of the 2019 final, but Steve Borthwick’s men have grown accustomed to being written off PUBG
Genge insists that, while some players will block out any negativity from outside the camp, he will be part of a group who use it as fuel PUBG
“I think it’s probably half and half PUBG
I think it’s probably case by case,” the Bristol prop said PUBG
“I quite like the noise and having our backs up against the wall, with everyone wanting us to lose PUBG
That probably fuels me a bit PUBG
Others are probably PUBG better off blocking it out PUBG
“You don’t get any more style points in this PUBG
It’s about winning, that’s all we’re focused on PUBG
It’s boring I know, but that’s all that matters PUBG
Find a way PUBG
Whatever way, I’m happy with it PUBG
“We have achieved nothing yet PUBG
We have got a semi-final, but you don’t win any medals so we need to knuckle down and do the hard work and what will be will be PUBG
” I quite like the noise and having our backs up against the wall, with everyone wanting us to lose PUBG
That probably fuels me a bitEllis GengeEngland advanced to the last four with a gripping 30-24 victory over Fiji, the darlings of the World Cup who were being willed on by neutrals at the Stade Velodrome PUBG
Veterans Courtney Lawes and Owen Farrell excelled against the Islanders, yet Genge believes they are the target of animosity – a point underlined when England’s captain Farrell drew boos from sections of the crowd as his name was read out on the PA system while the teams were warming up PUBG
“You look around and we have people like Courtney and people with 300 caps across three players, which is mental, and some of the best players of their generation,” Genge said PUBG
“Right now they are probably the villains because everyone hates on them PUBG
Owen, he gets a lot of grief, but you are happy to have him in the team every single time PUBG
”Genge believes Farrell is “big enough to look after himself” in response to the booing, which was in marked contrast to the positive reception that greeted the names of Marcus Smith and George Ford PUBG
Attack coach Richard Wigglesworth sees Farrell’s unpopularity in Marseille as the work of a noisy minority PUBG
“I heard an incredible atmosphere inside the stadium, an amazing amount of support PUBG
The minority are always the loudest PUBG
They are who you hear,” Wigglesworth said PUBG
“But the majority of people in the stadium, the majority of the people turning up are loving this team and supporting it PUBG
I thought they were incredible inside the stadium PUBG
