Springboks choose Libbok at fly-half for match against England
Summary

Manie Libbok will start at fly-half for South Africa against England on July 4, filling in for the injured Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu. This decision is part of four changes in the Springboks lineup after their last victory over Ireland. Libbok faces competition from Handre Pollard, but has been selected alongside experienced players like Cheslin Kolbe and Damian Willemse, both set to earn their 50th caps. South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus emphasized the team's need for experience and youth against a strong England side. England is expected to announce their team later this week.
