Former Springbok hooker Schalk Brits has revealed his solution to South Africa’s World Cup flyhalf conundrum in deciding between Handre Pollard and Manie Libbok.
Libbok started the crucial World Cup pool matches against Scotland and Ireland. While he was a hit with the ball in hand, he struggled with his goal-kicking consistency. This has prompted questions over who the Springboks should back as the starting No 10, made more difficult as Libbok kicked three out of three when he replaced Pollard.
