Flyhalf Manie Libbok will pull the strings on the attack for the Springboks on Saturday against England in the Nations Championship opener at Ellis Park.
Springbok flyhalf Manie Libbok has no doubts that the battle for dominance against England on Saturday will start up-front.
While he orchestrated an outstanding first-half attacking display a year ago against Australia at Ellis Park, with the Bok backline firing from the outset in a Test that ultimately ended in a heavy defeat, Libbok believes the forwards must first lay the platform for the backs to express themselves this weekend.
It is the opening match of the Nations Championship for both sides, and the highly anticipated clash in Johannesburg (5.40pm kick-off) between the world champions and England is widely viewed as the standout fixture of the weekend.
According to Libbok, the coaches have empowered the players to deliver on Saturday.
