Schalk Brits questions Rassie Erasmus’ Springboks bench logic and gives Manie Libbok verdict

Former Springbok hooker Schalk Brits has questioned Rassie Erasmus’ logic in not having a recognised fly-half on the bench for South Africa’s Nations Championship opener against England on Saturday.

Double World Cup winner Handre Pollard failed to make the matchday 23 after a poor performance in the recent United Rugby Championship final, while regular number 10 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is out with injury.

This has left the mercurial Manie Libbok to lead from outside-half, with limited replacement options if a change is needed mid-game.
