South Africa’s Manie Libbok produced one of the passes of the tournament so far with a ‘no look’ pass for the Springbok’s second try against Scotland in their opening game of the World Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With South Africa already 11-3 up in the second half, Libbok received the ball and in one quick motion released it upfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, this wasn’t by way of any standard pass, no. Instead, the 26-year-old conjured up a no look pass, deftly hit to the right flank, that spilt the Scottish defence and landed straight into the hands of\u00a0Kurt-Lee Arendse.<\/p>\n
With space to spare, Arendse then sprinted pass the line to extend South Africa’s lead in the Group A clash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It has already been an eventful game for Libbok, who put the Springbok into the lead with two penalties in the first 25 minutes, before failing to covert a third before the break.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pass saw\u00a0Kurt-Lee Arendse aches of space to convert the try and their lead over Scotland\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet, it was his moment of magic for Arende’s try that had fans on social media salivating over the no look pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One account posted; ‘No-look cross-kick pass. Outstanding. Manie Libbok to\u00a0 Kurt-Lee Arendse.’ Complete with a drooling emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another fan was so dumfounded by the pass they used a special shocked faced GIF from a familiar character in TV classic Friends to convey their view of Libbok’s assist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adding the comment ‘Manie Libbok No Look Kick Pass’ to clarify what they were referring to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was even a claim to Libbok being a cheat code from another user who waxed lyrical about the pass by saying; ‘Manie is a cheat code…no look pass kick!?! That was RIDICULOUS.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fans took to social media to praise the Libbok pass and call it ‘ridiculous’ and a ‘cheat code’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Libbok scored two penalties and missed a third in the 18-3 Group A winner over Scotland\u00a0<\/p>\n
Others called the pass ‘outrageous’ and ‘gorgeous’ and described the assist as ‘something else.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
While one post posted a picture of former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino pulling off the same act, with the caption; ‘Libbok with that no look cross-kick. Things you love to see.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pieter-Steph du Toit scored an opening try for South Africa before Libbok’s role in the game, which eventually saw them secure an 18-3 victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
