Springboks Face Argentina in Championship Decider

News summary

Manie Libbok has been retained as starting fly-half for South Africa in the crucial Rugby Championship decider against Argentina, despite criticism following his missed penalty that led to a narrow defeat last weekend. Coach Rassie Erasmus defended Libbok, praising his playmaking abilities and emphasizing a team approach to goal-kicking. The Springboks only need a point to secure their first full Rugby Championship title since 2009, while Argentina must win by more than seven points and score at least three tries to clinch the title. Eben Etzebeth will also make history as the most-capped Springbok player during the match. The team has seen significant changes, with nine alterations to the lineup from the previous match, reflecting a strategic shift aimed at securing victory. Support for Libbok persists among teammates and fans, as they aim to bounce back from last week's disappointment.
