Duality of Rugby.
On the same night that Jordan Hendrikse sinks a 59m kick in the rain, with the clock in the red, to win the Currie Cup Final.
Manie Libbok misses a kick in from front of the posts to win the Rugby Championship.
Heartbreak for one, ecstasy for the other.
We need Mannie Libbok for the way he moves the ball, his vision, speed and creativity.
The back line is dangerous when he is on.
But his goal kicking is just pure nonsense 💔💔💔
We shouldn't have lost this game!😖
