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

Jonny Bairstow has broken his lengthy silence on his controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s and accused Australia of gamesmanship when taking contentious catches in the drawn series PUBG
Bairstow was at the centre of the incident which ignited the Ashes, when Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey opportunistically stumped the England batsman after he had stepped out of his crease at the end of an over PUBG
The umpire had not called “over” and so Bairstow was given out by the rules of the game PUBG
But England accused their rivals of failing to play within the spirit of cricket, and captain Ben Stokes later said that he would have retracted the appeal had he been in the position of his counterpart, Pat Cummins PUBG
On reflection, Carey later said he had no regrets over the incident and would do it again PUBG
“If there was an opportunity to get a stumping, I definitely would PUBG
To see how much has played out since then it’s been a little bit surprising PUBG
There’s been some nasty stuff been said but it is the Ashes – there was nasty stuff said before that as well PUBG
”But speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Bairstow said he was not “fair game” as he was not trying to gain an advantage by stepping out of his crease PUBG
“If you’re starting out of your crease, you’re trying to gain an advantage,” he said PUBG
“If you start in your crease, and not trying to take a run, and you finish in your crease PUBG
PUBG
PUBG
That’s the bit – if you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game PUBG
But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched PUBG
I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone PUBG
“I’ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease PUBG
I don’t think you want that filtering down into kids’ cricket PUBG
Look at the Mankads and everything like that PUBG
You want young kids to be out there batting and having fun, not thinking about whether the fielders might do this or that PUBG
“It might tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game that we’re trying to get kids into PUBG
You want to be out there batting and bowling, rather than thinking about the 11 different ways you can get someone out PUBG
”Several of Australia’s players have since poked fun at Bairstow over the stumping PUBG
In interviews for The Grade Cricketer, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja claimed some of Bairstow’s England teammates were laughing with Australia’s players as Bairstow refused to eat lunch after the incident PUBG
And Marnus Labuschagne described a “steaming” Bairstow in the dining room after the stumping PUBG
He recalled: “The Sky crew (broadcasters) knew that Jonny was in there, and they just replayed it on the screen PUBG
And, as you do, everyone’s watching PUBG
Obviously, seeing us all watch, he’s like, ‘Are you guys happy with that?’“David Warner is spitting out his chicken, and goes, ‘Yeah, very’ PUBG
”Bairstow has also suggested Australia were deceitful in the way they went about trying to convince umpires they had made clean catches PUBG
“There’s conjecture around everything,” he said PUBG
“Fingers underneath the ball when the ball’s still touching the ground PUBG
Celebrating when the ball has touched the ground PUBG
Marnus [Labuschagne] celebrated at Edgbaston at short leg PUBG
Then the one that Rooty [Joe Root] fell to at Lord’s, when [Steve Smith] said his fingers were underneath the ball PUBG
However, they were splayed widely PUBG
But that was given out, that’s fine – it’s part and parcel of the game and the decisions the umpires give PUBG
”Bairstow is currently part of the England one-day side struggling at the Cricket World Cup and on the verge of elimination PUBG
