Read our privacy policy South Africa’s Manie Libbok was substituted just half-an-hour into the Springboks’ Rugby World Cup semi-final after a difficult 30 minutes for the fly half. Libbok, who had emerged as South Africa’s first-choice ten 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. South Africa's Manie Libbok is replaced against England “He’s not entirely responsible,” Bryan Habana said on ITV. Pollard’s extra experience and kicking prowess were deemed likely to be key, with the fly half almost immediately knocking through three points from the tee when England infringed.
