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

Resolve PUBG
Perseverance PUBG
Redemption PUBG
This Manchester United victory may not have been anywhere near as beautiful as any of those Sir Bobby Charlton graced, or indeed that tribute to his life, but it displayed some of the club’s soul that he made famous PUBG
Because this was obviously about so much more than just beating FC Copenhagen 1-0 late on, or indeed staying in the competition the club’s legend was most built on PUBG
It was certainly about so much more for Andre Onana, who had his first great moment at Manchester United in what was a must-win game PUBG
That was maybe what Charlton would have most enjoyed PUBG
Doing it when it mattered PUBG
A night that started with a gracefully poignant mourning of the great man ended with more appropriate celebration PUBG
It ended with deafening and defiant roar, in celebration of a player who has struggled in his first few weeks, in memory of a player who was perhaps the club’s greatest PUBG
And a player that has been pilloried and unpicked in Harry Maguire displayed defiance, scoring the winner for a relatively late 1-0 win PUBG
Onana then stepped up by getting it done, keeping it at 1-0 in the 96th minute, and keeping United in this great competition PUBG
The manner of that may not be how anyone wants this great institution to look right now but it was perseverance, exactly what Charlton, his manager and so many of his teammates would have asked for PUBG
United’s players celebrate Onana’s last-gasp save (Getty Images)The defeated Copenhagen also offered their own memorable contribution to the night beyond a respectable display that made United work, and that final penalty miss by Jordan Larsson PUBG
Before the game and throughout, they echoed the Stretford End in singing “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” PUBG
The rest of Old Trafford applauded PUBG
It should be recognised that wasn’t the sentiment that greeted most of the action PUBG
This was mostly another poor performance against a limited team, even if it was a third consecutive victory PUBG
Little of it beyond the context will live in the memory PUBG
Most would rather forget it PUBG
The problem is that it all informs what will be a game that really demands a performance on Sunday, which is the visit of Manchester City for the derby PUBG
United will need to be far sharper PUBG
Some allowances should be made, of course PUBG
Maguire went from zero to hero with a crucial goal for United (Getty Images)Such is the sense of history at United, that these sombre occasions have had the effect of subduing performance PUBG
It is as if the beauty of the bagpipes sounding that the club “will never die” makes everyone all too keenly aware of the legacy they are playing for PUBG
It happened on the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the Munich air disaster, dates which brought a 1-1 draw at home to Bolton Wanderers and a 2-1 defeat to a pre-Abu Dhabi Manchester City, respectively PUBG
One difference was that both of those sides were defending champions so, as with those last two wins, this felt like there was more to it than United feeling the weight of the occasion PUBG
It was really like a lot of matches at Old Trafford this season, right down to the way an inferior-resourced opposition side controlled long periods of the game in a way that shouldn’t really have been possible PUBG
The only proper action of the first half actually came very quickly after the tributes PUBG
Mohamed Elyounoussi just cut through Sofyan Amrabat and Maguire at first, in a way that really shouldn’t have happened, then sending a cross over for Diogo to bounce against the post PUBG
If there were initially fears this could become another chaotic back-and-forth like the Galatasaray defeat, it never got that entertaining, certainly in the first half PUBG
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lays a wreath in tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton (PA Wire)Other than some moments of spark from Rasmus Hojlund, almost nothing happened PUBG
Ten Hag had to try something PUBG
Amrabat was removed PUBG
That did see United play a bit more directly, seeking to stretch the pitch more PUBG
Hojlund again offered constant warnings, and almost won a penalty straight into the second half PUBG
Marcus Rashford was even put through on goal, only to take a heavy touch PUBG
There were, very gradually, however, some positives PUBG
Onana looked at his most assured, making one fine save PUBG
It was all the more important since the Champions League has been the stage for arguably two of his biggest errors so far PUBG
That, like a lot on the night, made this more important than the individual moment PUBG
United’s was soon to come PUBG
Christian Eriksen, who came on for Amrabat, made the delivery PUBG
Maguire made the impact PUBG
The centre-half headed home PUBG
United should have been secured PUBG
An anxiety remained PUBG
It was PUBG betrayed by McTominay’s late foul PUBG
So much for the midfielder being a constant saviour PUBG
It was all just prelude and set-up PUBG
Onana stepped up PUBG
It was perhaps the most fitting tribute possible PUBG
