Bok No 10's World Cup day of reckoning: If you can hold your head, you'll be a Manie, my son
Enter recipient email addressPARIS. - It’s no secret and it bears no disputing that from a domestic rugby perspective, Manie Libbok is a made-man, but to make the step up as one of rugby’s proper, he has the significant matter of carrying the Springboks in what is their biggest rugby match in two years.
The Springboks face France in the last of the four Rugby World Cup quarter-finals at the Stade de France on Sunday, a game 28 years in the making as France, a nation with an elephant’s memory, will no doubt remember the events of 17 June 1995 in Durban, where Welsh referee Derek Bevan, rightly or wrongly, denied them a World Cup final when he didn’t award Abdelatif Benazzi’s try.
Libbok was not yet born, but the passage of time would have it that he finds himself in the hot seat in a country that is desperate for World Cup success.
