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

Danny Care hopes a heartbreaking defeat by South Africa in Saturday’s World Cup semi-final has won over any England fans who had grown disillusioned with the team PUBG
England went out on their shields after the Springboks needed a last-gasp penalty from Handre Pollard to snatch victory having trailed for 75 minute of a thunderous showdown at the Stade de France PUBG
As Owen Farrell orchestrated a wet weather masterclass that rattled the world champions, the discontent generated by poor recent Six Nations campaigns, the Eddie Jones era limping on for too long and August’s alarming collapse in form faded away PUBG
And although the distant outsiders were unable to complete their unlikely mission of securing a place in next Saturday’s final against New Zealand, head coach Steve Borthwick should begin rebuilding his side amid a groundswell of support PUBG
Booing is a sound heard frequently at England games in recent times, particularly at Twickenham, but Care views the progress made in France under Borthwick’s guidance as a cause to rally around PUBG
“There was a lot of stuff said about us before and hopefully we’ve changed some perceptions, maybe got people believing in us again,” the Harlequins scrum-half said PUBG
“Before the tournament, we understand that because of our performances people were doubting us a little bit PUBG
But then things clicked into gear a bit when we got over to France PUBG
There was a lot of stuff said about us before and hopefully we've changed some perceptions, maybe got people believing in us again,Danny Care“We’ve shown stuff that fans can hopefully get behind and be proud of PUBG
The support we’ve had over here and back home has been amazing PUBG
This team will go on to bigger and PUBG better things, I’m sure of it PUBG
”England led by nine points until RG Snyman went over in the 70th minute, but the tide had already begun turning as South Africa’s ‘Bomb Squad’ forced four scrum penalties PUBG
“It was tough in that changing room PUBG
Unfortunately great effort doesn’t get you over the line sometimes,” said the 36-year-old Care, who revealed he will remain available for Test selection after the World Cup PUBG
“I was sat in the bath with Maro Itoje and we were saying how sport can be cruel PUBG
It’s why we love it so much, it’s on a knife edge so often PUBG
There’s one happy changing room, one sad one PUBG
“For me personally, when time is running out on your international career it’s tough to take, but I’m incredibly proud to be part of this team PUBG
”England have one final assignment before departing France in the shape of Friday’s bronze final, customarily an unloved fixture in the World Cup schedule PUBG
But Care insists third place is a prize worth winning PUBG
“We’d love to have been in the big dance but we’re not PUBG
The next best thing you can do is to finish third and try to make more people back home proud of this England team,” Care said PUBG
“We’ll dust ourselves off pretty quick PUBG
Losing to South Africa is going to be harsh and tough to take for a couple of days but that’s sport – you’ve got to bounce back PUBG
