Stormers flyhalf Manie Libbok put in another superb display in his side's URC semi-final win over Connacht on Saturday. | Sport24news
The 25-year-old was brilliant in his side's URC semi-final win over Connacht on Saturday.
"I think he's a phenomenal player, and it would be wrong for him not to be pushing for that South African No 10 jersey." Because he is smaller and far more naturally expansive than a traditional South African flyhalf, Libbok is often pigeonholed as not having the right blend of skills - kicking, defence and more kicking - required of a Springbok No 10.
"That kind of game builds your character. I take a lot of learnings out of games like that because they remind you that there is still a lot to work to improve on."I got my confidence back again for the Benetton game and then the Bulls game , and I just put my head down and keep working on my craft so I can be in the best possible position to perform on the weekend."
