Player Focus: Manie Libbok

The Springbok 10 jumper, as always, is one of the most hotly contested and controversial jerseys and Manie Libbok is one of the most polarising 10's to play oin Green and Gold. With Handre Pollard getting to the end of his career and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu the clear favorite to take the Springboks forward, Manie Libbok is staking a claim to the jersey again.

While against England he may not have been front and centre in the win he linked well with the forwards and backs and helped guide his side around. The kicking tactics were shared betweenm him and Grant Williams and they were backed up well by Kurt-Lee Arendse and Cheslin Kolbe. 

His crisp passing and vission on attack is one of his biggest attributes and he back that up with seven from seven tackles on the day against a hulking England pack. His biggest flaw is his kikcing off the tee and Rassie Erasmus handed the kicks to Cheslin Kolbe from the get go allowing Libbok to stay away from probably his only negative.
