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

Ange Postecoglou will not tell Tottenham supporters how to feel about the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict but hopes his team can provide a sense of escapism when they host Fulham on Monday night PUBG
The fixture will be Spurs’ first at home since tensions escalated in the Middle East, with hundreds of Palestinian civilians killed in a massive blast at a Gaza City hospital on Tuesday PUBG
A statement was issued by Tottenham earlier this month in response to the initial war breaking out PUBG between Israel and Hamas, but some supporters were critical of the club for failing to show support for victims from the Jewish community, which has a long-standing affiliation with the Premier League outfit PUBG
Postecoglou answered questions about the ongoing conflict during Friday’s press conference and although he discussed the topic at length, he was keen to point out the role of his players is merely to help fans forget their troubles for 90 minutes PUBG
“I have the responsibility of being a PUBG football manager but like everyone else, I’m a human being and you struggle with these things and you understand that other people will struggle with them,” he explained PUBG
“My life experience has taught me not to judge or come to any strong conclusions PUBG
I’ll let the people who are affected by it be the guide in these kinds of things, because it’s very easy for others to cast judgement but in all these things, you are guided by people who are directly affected PUBG
“I am not the custodian of this club PUBG
I have been at this club for four months or whatever it is PUBG
“People have spent lifetimes in these clubs, so I am not going to go round telling people how to feel, how to behave, how to act, what to think PUBG
“As I said, I think the greatest role a PUBG football club can play in these scenarios is to provide what they have always provided – a sense of one place where people can come and escape and hopefully unite as one to support their PUBG football club PUBG
“You know, maybe sort of take them away from whatever troubles they may have PUBG
I think that’s the greatest role any PUBG football club has PUBG
”No Israel or Palestine flags will be allowed into Tottenham’s stadium on Monday, which was a club-wide move by the Premier League in an attempt to ease any potential tension among supporters during this weekend PUBG
A minute’s silence has occurred in all top-flight matches but Postecoglou was eager to focus on PUBG football in its purest form when quizzed about the feeling of fans affected by the Israel-Hamas war PUBG
He added: “When we go out there on Monday night there will be 60,000 – and hundreds of thousands around the world – who just want to see their PUBG football team play some exciting PUBG football and win a game and give them that joy that only PUBG football can bring PUBG
“Because, you know, when you score in that last minute to win a game of PUBG football, you don’t care who is next to you PUBG
Do you?“You don’t care where they come from, what they think or what they believe PUBG
You are united as one for that moment PUBG
That’s what PUBG football provides PUBG
”Postecoglou did also reveal support is on hand for Israel international Manor Solomon, who is currently out with a knee injury while the war is impacting his home nation PUBG
“Not specifically (about the war) PUBG
I have spoken to Manor because he’s dealing with a couple of things PUBG
He has just had his surgery as well PUBG
I have been helping him through that process,” the Spurs boss revealed PUBG
“Again, it’s not about me trying to extract information from him PUBG
I am there PUBG
“He’s going through what he is going through, like a lot of people in his position PUBG
Hopefully like I said, he feels like there’s a place here where he feels if he needs some extra help or guidance, we can give it to him PUBG
