Vusi Voetsek: Pollard has been good for Boks, Libbok can be excellent | The Citizen

Stormers flyhalf Manie Libbok should be backed to wear the Springbok No 10 jersey. 🏉 Boks Stormers Rugby Read more here ⬇️

In all my years of watching rugby I’ve seen many good players and I’ve always had a particular interest in the flyhalves, possibly because I played in the No 10 jersey in my primary school days.

I’m no expert, but I’ve been around a bit, and I like to think I know when someone’s “got it” and I am firmly of the opinion that Manie Libbok is one of those players who has “got it”. And that is why it was so infuriating this week to read so many negative and critical social media posts and comments by rugby fans saying things along the lines of “Manie is no Bok” and “Manie doesn’t have the temperament”.

They’re of course referring to the Stormers’ flyhalf and making a judgement call on him based on the one blunder he made in thelast weekend … which contributed to the Irish team scoring a late try to win the match. For those who didn’t see the game or read about it afterwards, a clearance kick by the No 10 was charged down, leading to turn-over ball and Munster going on to score a match-defining try.
