Handre Pollard produced a virtuoso display off the bench for the Springboks vs England but Manie Libbok must start the Rugby World Cup final.
Springboks flyhalf Manie Libbok was substituted early in their Rugby World Cup semi-final against England because he couldn’t thrive in the rainy conditions. However, he should start the final even if the conditions are the same.I’m no meteorologist, so there’s no way of telling what the weather will be doing in Paris next Saturday. However, if it’s a dry evening then Manie Libbok can thrive with his flair, tactical kicking and playmaking ability.
In 2019, the ice-cold Pollard kicked 22 of South Africa’s 32 points against England in Yokohama, including six out of eight penalties and two conversions from two attempts. This man really does have what it takes on the grandest occasions. What we’ve also seen is that Springbok management isn’t shy to make tough calls for the good of the team. If Libbok starts the final, Pollard is an absolutely sensational get-out-of-jail-free card.
