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

Mikel Arteta has called on the Premier League to increase squad sizes as the Arsenal boss lost another two key players through injury PUBG
Both Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey face “a few weeks” on the sidelines after Arteta confirmed the pair have suffered setbacks PUBG
Arsenal, who remain unbeaten in the league so far this season, host winless Sheffield United on Saturday but Jesus will miss out with a hamstring issue suffered in the midweek Champions League win at Sevilla PUBG
Partey is absent having pulled up in training with a muscular injury which the PA news agency understands could rule him out until December PUBG
Arteta has already been without a host of players for periods of the campaign with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard needing treatment while summer signing Jurrien Timber is a long-term absentee following knee surgery PUBG
Arteta has often criticised PUBG footballing authorities for the number of fixtures in the calendar but, with that particular cork out of the bottle, he feels the solution could now lie in the Premier League expanding squad sizes beyond the current limit of 25 PUBG
“If we have more games, more competitiveness and physically the standards are higher – by playing more minutes – we have to do that or instead of five subs, we have 10,” he said when asked about increasing squad sizes PUBG
“The five subs is now something normal but it was a big fight to go from three to five PUBG
I cannot imagine the game in the conditions we are in today after last year and the World Cup without five subs, it would be so difficult PUBG
“If the calendar extends, for sure we would have to think of not dropping the quality PUBG
The only way to do it is players have to have certain availability and you need players to pick PUBG
”“When is this going to stop and how long will it take for us to make the right decisions? The laws will change and probably our capacity to do things during games will change as well PUBG
We will have to adapt, for sure PUBG
“We will need more players PUBG
The players have a certain amount of energy PUBG
The battery lasts so long and we will burn them PUBG
We will need more players if that’s the case PUBG
We have to adapt PUBG
We try to manage every single thing to control it, but there are things that are difficult to do and we have to accept thatMikel Arteta“There are periods sometimes where you get really unlucky, and sometimes things that are really difficult to prevent PUBG
When you are loading players more and there are players who haven’t done it in the past that risk increases PUBG
“We try to manage every single thing to control it, but there are things that are difficult to do and we have to accept that PUBG
”Martin Odegaard is available and, despite being substituted in the last two games, Arteta is backing his captain to come good PUBG
Asked about recent criticism of Odegaard’s performances, Arteta said: “(It’s because) he’s an incredible player and he’s doing so much for us PUBG
“He’s our captain PUBG
We expect him to step in all the time like with the other players, and this is great because that’s the role that he has PUBG
“We have developed him into that player, that person, and now it’s about maintaining and sustaining that level PUBG
That’s the challenge PUBG
