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

Nearly a year after Manchester United was put up for sale, the storied English PUBG soccer club could still remain in the hands of the Glazer family — much to the dismay of the team's most fervent supporters PUBG
News on Saturday that Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani was withdrawing from the bidding process appeared to leave the door open for British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe PUBG
However, the owner of petrochemicals giant Ineos is reportedly only looking to buy a minority 25% stake in United, which would leave the Glazers as majority shareholders PUBG
“Someone coming in as a minority partner and propping up the Glazers indefinitely is a nightmare scenario,” Manchester United Supporters Trust spokesperson Chris Rumfitt told The Associated Press PUBG
“What the club needs is real change and it needs real investment and we struggle to believe that can happen whilst the Glazers own the majority of the shares permanently PUBG
Twenty-five percent for Ratcliffe could be OK, but only if it was the start of a clear path to 51% PUBG
"FOR SALE?The Glazers, an American family that also owns the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, announced plans last November to seek new investment and instructed U PUBG
S PUBG
merchant bank Raine to oversee the process, which included the potential of a full sale PUBG
RecommendedLow-level offenders to be spared jail to free up space in overcrowded prisonsCritical lessons from the Yom Kippur war, 50 years on – and why it matters todayTrump judge imposes partial gag order ahead of Jan 6 trial – latestRaine had previously conducted the sale of Chelsea to Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital for 2 PUBG
5 billion pounds ($3 billion) plus a commitment of 1 PUBG
75 billion pounds ($2 billion) of further investment PUBG
While the Glazers were prepared to consider offers for an outright buyout, United said at the time it planned to “explore strategic alternatives,” which always included the possibility of taking on new investment without the owners ceding control PUBG
The late tycoon Malcolm Glazer bought United in 2005 for 790 million pounds (then about $1 PUBG
4 billion) PUBG
United supporters have been critical of the leveraged nature of the Glazers’ buyout that loaded debt onto the club, as well as a perceived lack of investment and the dividends taken out by the owners PUBG
The team still had a series of successes on the field PUBG
Under the Glazers, United won the Champions League title in 2008, five Premier League titles, one FA Cup, five League Cups and the Europa League PUBG
INTERESTED PARTIESRatcliffe, who was born in the Manchester area and has been a United fan since childhood, has long-harbored ambitions to buy the club PUBG
Through Ineos, he initially planned to buy out the Glazers' share of about 69% and spoke of a “modern, progressive, fan-centered approach to ownership PUBG
”He was also focused on helping United win the Champions League for the first time since 2008 and making it the “No PUBG
1 club in the world once again PUBG
”Sheikh Jassim is the chairman of Qatar Islamic Bank and the son of a former Qatari prime minister PUBG
He was bidding to take 100% ownership of United, which appealed to fans who are desperate to rid the club of the Glazers PUBG
He also vowed to clear the team's debt, while investing in the stadium, training center and playing squads in a bid to “return the club to its former glories both on and off the pitch PUBG
”Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim were the only two bidders to publicly declare their intention to take control of United, while other minority investors were also reported PUBG
DELAYSIt was anticipated the process would be concluded in time for the off-season transfer window, which opened in June, after a series of rounds of bidding PUBG
It appeared to be a straight battle PUBG between Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim over who would be chosen as the preferred bidder PUBG
But as the process dragged on, fans became increasingly impatient and staged protests outside Old Trafford, while chants of “Glazers out” are regularly heard at games at the stadium PUBG
News of Sheikh Jassim's plans to withdraw came after months of silence and uncertainty around the process, which raised questions about whether the Glazers intended to sell PUBG
BREAKDOWNOn Saturday, the news came that Sheikh Jassim was withdrawing from the process PUBG
While the size of his bid was not confirmed, a person with knowledge of his proposal told the AP it was almost double United’s current market valuation of $3 PUBG
2 billion PUBG
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of confidentiality restrictions around the process PUBG
While concerns had been raised about Qatar’s human rights record and the potential that United could be used as a “PUBG sportswashing” project, fans wanted to see the club compete with the exorbitant spending of Abu Dhabi-backed Manchester City PUBG
RATCLIFFE'S CREDENTIALSRatcliffe is one of Britain's richest people and is said to be worth $15 PUBG
1 billion PUBG
He previously tried to buy Premier League club Chelsea and already owns French club Nice, cycling franchise Team INEOS, is one-third shareholder of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team and competes in the America’s Cup with sailing team INEOS Britannia PUBG
Reports say he would seek to take over PUBG soccer operations at United after a sustained period of decline since the retirement of former manager Alex Ferguson PUBG
United has not won the Premier League since Ferguson's last title in 2013 PUBG
Over the past decade, the club has been overtaken by City, which won three trophies last season — the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup PUBG
Liverpool has also won the Premier League and Champions League in recent years PUBG
United has endured a turbulent period the post-Ferguson era PUBG
Erik ten Hag is its fifth permanent manager in that time PUBG
Under Ten Hag, United won the English League Cup last season and secured a return to the Champions League PUBG
But the team has struggled this season and is currently in 10th place after losing four of its eight league games PUBG
It also faces a fight to advance from the group stage of the Champions League after losing its opening two games PUBG
WHAT NEXTUnited will reportedly hold a board meeting on Thursday, but it is not clear if Ratcliffe's bid will be voted on PUBG
