Flyhalf released at Loftus, but has used the move to revive his career with eye-catching performancesBulls coach Jake White is not eating humble pie. Instead, he is happy that Springbok flyhalf Manie Libbok found form with the Stormers.
With Elton Jantjies out of favour due to off-field issues, Libbok’s name has been bandied about for Springbok selection for the forthcoming international season that includes the World Cup in France in September and October. As he continues to impress for the Stormers under coach John Dobson, White said he is happy to see him flourish away from Loftus.
“I can mention names like Rudolf Straeuli, Hannes Strydom, Gavin Johnson, Johnny Roux... Those guys all left Northern Transvaal to go to the Lions under Kitch Christie and they all became World Cup winners.
