#WATCH: Manie's moments of brilliance in match-winner
Springbok flyhalf Manie Libbok delivered some magic, steering Hanazono Kintetsu Liners to a narrow 16-14 win over Shimizu Koto Blue Sharks on Saturday.
Trailing 11-14 with just 2 minutes to go, the Bok put in a timely cross-kick which was collected by scrumhalf Kensho Kawamura, who scored a try for the victory.
The hosts had led 14-6 early in the second half but were made to pay dearly for missed goal-kicking opportunities as Kintetsu scored the final two tries of the contest to sneak home, retaining their unbeaten record while ending that of the Blue Sharks.
