Manie may not have played in the final, but make no mistake he got us there. In my opinion he’s of the most important heroes of our world cup campaign. Imagine taking the weight of an entire nation on your shoulders less than a year after your first cap and having the composure to do a no look cross field kick in the process! I can’t wait to see him perform his magic these next four years.

[@PowerHouse1987]

Exactly, it's a team sport. The final isn't a reality without all the games before it.

[@DavyBrando]

⁠@@PowerHouse1987 Agreed, and let’s not forget the whole squad’s contribution in training. I think I read that in the week of the final Manie and Cobus had the roles of imitating Mo’unga and Aaron Smith, and i’m sure the rest of the squad who didn’t get selected for the final played instrumental roles as well.

[@alexducasse830]

Absolutely what an amazing player - he creates so much and his defense is solid! Such a humble guy too go Manie you have so many followers - worldwide too!!!👌

[@janevanreenen8768]

Manie has incredible talent. One to watch in the future🇿🇦

[@roydowling1081]

He lost us the match against Ireland. ANC selection

[@leeadamscpt]

WE NEED CHESLIN KOLBE AND DAMIAN WILLEMSE NEXT on the show 🔥 who agree?

[@MyCousin82]

Jis can't help but love Manie. Humble, rediculously talented, down to earth. Die man verdien alle sukses

[@PowerHouse1987]

Love how his focus in his spare time is listening to rugby minds. Shows the man is serious

[@LithaTywabi]

my favorite rugby podcast in the world🤞🏼😭

thank you so much 🤩

[@JuanDeJongh-hu6gs]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@bertrovanwyk]

Manie Libbok you are loved but millions. Always remember that

[@wjcvwcrsa]

Manie se ingesteldheid is baie indrukwekkend. Soveel belofte in stoor vir sy loopbaan. Ook om te hoor die ingesteldheid van rugby in RSA in geheel, klub en nasionaal, in die spelers en sport bring ook tuis die rede vir rugby liefde in ons land. Kan nie wag vir sy volgende wedstryd nie 🔥

[@justinmarkus]

I stand behind Manie!!! No matter what🫡

[@rexblewett1020]

Manie is awesome. So serious and so nervous in this interview. The bouncing leg. Not a public speaker. His gift is on the the field and doing the business and not talking about it. Keep being brilliant.

[@mashi9]

Bouncing leg doesn't automatically mean someone is nervous. People tend to thunk that from movies and all that but it's not always the case. And I think as a Bok you're media trained for bigger audiences so I don't think a podcast with players he played with before would make him nervous.

[@thegreytone]

​@@mashi9 that is nervousness, some people just aren't comfortable, and you could hear it in his voice. He'll get used to it. It's evident that Manie perhaps hated doing oral in school as well. Love this guy❤️

[@joelchihota4994]

that intro skit of Libbok no look kick was LOL

Guys please get Conrad Jantjies. The man had a phenomenal career and never gets the respect he deserves. Please chat to Conrad Jantjies...

[@travelstoriesza5716]

I agree, he could’ve been one of SA’s goats at fullback if only he was given more game time as a Springbok. Highly skilled, great rugby IQ, Conrad!

Excellent show. Manie is a game-changer. Will always be !!

[@rynokeet2483]

Omg Manie is my favourite player, hands down! Glad you're back to come save the stormers!😂

[@thegreytone]

Manie Libbok, Immanuel, last time i was heavily invested in rugby was in 2019 and after the world cup, i didn't watch anymore, but i followed Cheslin Kolbe's career. In 2022, i saw a clip of Manie and i was blown away. I started following him & ofcourse Kolbe. When he joined the Boks, i was happy but also not because of the attention that comes with it and having to carry the weight of South Africans on your shoulders, especially occupying the 10 position. Manie are a great player, ons coloured outjies is gebore met dit. He sounds very reserved and humble. Thank you for getting me to watch rugby again frequently. Alles wat mooi is my bru en manne, sir Rudy & mr. J, julle is funny verby!!!

[@francoisverwey567]

Well done for getting Manie!

[@simeonlouw3175]

Manie is special guys

[@chrismouton1985]

Manie, jou lekker ding! I've always been a huge fan of Manie. He caught my eye at the Sharks and I've been a fan since. It's a pity that the Sharks didn't give him a decent shot, but luckily the Stormers were willing to give the keys to Manie. Looking forward to see his career develop at the Stormers and the Bokke. Manie, die Bokke soek vir nommer 3 in 2027! ;)

[@davidpeters3857]

I hate to say it ,but the Boks are just going to get even stronger and stronger 👀

[@JuanDeJongh-hu6gs]

🤗🤗 agree

[@sbumavuso3141]

Remember watching Mannie at craven week thinking wow what a talent and worried he wasn’t big enough or white enough to make it. Look at God

Should have allowed Manie to speak in afrikaans as he sounded way more comfortable and was able to express himself more when he spoke in afrikaans.
