Comments on: White’s captaincy poser http://keo.co.za/2006/05/04/whites-captaincy-poser/ An independent look at South African rugby Mon, 20 May 2013 01:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: YoMama http://keo.co.za/2006/05/04/whites-captaincy-poser/#comment-68370 YoMama Fri, 05 May 2006 12:48:26 +0000 http://www.keo.co.za/2006/05/04/whites-captaincy-poser/#comment-68370 CapeFlatsboy,

I believe that we will one day have a black Springbok rugby captain/coach anything.

My point is though, that they should be the best candidates. Shimmie is nowhere near anything close to Springbok quality, let alone Bok captain quality. Making him the captain would be based purely on race, which would be unfair on him and the work of everyone in this country who have fought to ensure that representation of people be fair and equitable.

I would rather have Paul Delport as Bok captain some day. When a quality dark black comes along, then I would support him 100%.

As you say I am a beloved Bok supporter. Anything in a green jersey would have my idolization

Well the black man will soon be leading your beloved springbok rugby team. get used to it. While at it go hump so koeie op jou pas se weivelde.

You’re a racist. Go back to sniffing glue and fluffing for the Merikens.

Learn how to spell charisma before you try to talk about it.

Look how his team missed his captaincy. Plus he’s a bloody good player.

I agree on JC, but if you are telling me that Big Joke is better than P3 or AJ we are not watching the same S14

All this “scrutiny” comes from you!
Capeflatsboy, do you think that Shimmie is a leader? Has he captained any other teams before? Not too sure on that one.

I would like to think that Jake could find a cappie out of his bunch, but if not, the Pirates 2xv flank is a good leader, consider him!-)

What’s wrong with Shimange? He replace Smit as starting hooker and captain. Be brave jake.

The captaincy issue, not playing Burger and Watson in the same squad, making comments before playing Ireland and downplaying Brits’ chances of becoming a Springbok. There are probably many other times as well. You don’t get other major international rugby coaches making those comments, especially when referring to a specific player. This should be done in private. Whether Brits deserves a Bok call-up is not for me to say, but if his scrumming needs a lot of work, why not help him then to become the complete hooker. His attacking skills are certainly different to what we have now. Jake must keep his feet on the ground as he gets more settled in his job, not like some of his predecessors.

The cars…. guys just talk. On the udder hand Eugene Tereblance had cars….. or sorry he had a horse.

and yes what about Big Joke , he can do the captaining from the side line , where he usually stands.

He was one guy who had huge support from all his peers, and public..
There is just so little space for loosies at the moment..
Please dont pick Barry, he has too many brain explosions, we cant play rugby with no captain on the field..

Watson is a natural too. Van Niekerk, Barry, Smith, all have experience in this regard.

A non story Keo.

Schalk needs to focus on his tackling, running and securing of ball
DeWet wont play enough
Jean doesn’t strike me as a leader
Big Vic – probably not popular with all players
Juan Smith – no carisma
FdP – no carisma

So, that leaves AP and AJ and AJ is the clear front-runner
