White to charm provincial presidents
4 Jul 2006
Jake White on Tuesday sold his four year plan to the President’s Council.
The Bok coach addressed the President’s Council in Johannesburg and motivated why they should extend his national coaching contract to the end of the 2009 season.
White currently has a contract that runs until after the 2007 World Cup, but he has argued that he and many of the senior players want to know now what the position is post the World Cup.
White, who won the Vodacom Tri Nations in 2004 at his first attempt, believes he has done enough to warrant an extension until the end of 2009. Several senior players, who have been offered overseas contracts post the World Cup, will stay in South Africa, it is said, if White is retained.
The SARU Board heard White’s proposal some time ago, but constitutionally did not have the authority to make the decision. White, in the meantime, has had discussions overseas about possible employment.
He has made it clear that his first choice is to remain in South Africa and coach the Boks.
The provincial presidents will also do a review of White’s tenure in the course of Tuesday.
SARU communications manager Rayaan Adriaanse told Keo.co.za that there was no confirmation from the provincial presidents on whether a decision would be made on White today (Tuesday).
White has confirmed he will coach the team for the duration of the Vodacom Tri nations, regardless of whether there is a contract extension or not.

Hello Norman, after all the abuse you recieved by braithwaite last week, i thought you would have been in a phsychiatric ward by now!! Jake white needs more guys like you in his squad
4 Jul 2006, 15:23 pm
Braithwaite, jou doos.
I am fully capable of discussing any post in English as are most muppits (except maybe Stan – just joking – the bugger can annoy people in 15 of the 11 official national languages)
But the fact stays that is each muppit’s prerogative to post in any lanuage they want, as strange as it may seem we are not here just to please you – ****!

Minutes of PC meeting
4 July 2006
Attendees:
Dinosaur, relic, bitter & twisted, unable to move on, sleepy, drunk, stupid & incompetent, incontinent, laager head, lager head and spend like crazy
Items for discussion:
1. Jake White contract extension.
Jake White presents his plan to manage the Boks till 2009.
No questions asked.
After he has left the room Sleepy asked who he was and what he did.
When told he was the Bok coach S&I chipped in and asked who the Springboks were.
Spend like crazy suggests its worth supporting Jake because the better the Boks do in France the longer the presidents council can stay in France with their secretaries or wives.
Vote take. Outcome; everyone in favour of retaining Jake.
2. How do we make South African rugby a world class product.
No comments or questions. Lager and Laager suggest breaking for lunch.
Meeting does not reconvene. The Spur has no meeting rooms.

Yes,I was wondering when someone was going to ask about that.
Maybe that’s what we need to happen for things to change.
Ig
Fifa…..are very much incompetant nincompoops run by an “old boys club”….near enough exactly the same as the IRB.
And the rugby world can survive without the Boks……they did before didn’t they?

Braith, I was born to German parents actually and also have a special dislike for boneheaded old South African flag waving dutchmen (generally found in the Tswane area).
My point is just that you shouldn’t try to stop someone from being able to express himself in whatever language he feels most comfortable in – this is a democracy you know.
4 Jul 2006, 15:42 pm
Skim, do you also eat the ****?
4 Jul 2006, 15:44 pm
Valkie you’re bring tears to my eyes – now i will have to dry my eyes… good job Valkie… good job.

I think that Jakes gripes and requests go a lot deeper. If we are to go forward with Jake he feels, and probably rightly, he needs more freedom and control. He’s not the first coach in SA who felt this way. Who would be able able to take us further with the yoke he has to carry?
Interfering admin!
No Player control!
Wayward, unsupportive provincial and regional coaches!
No real freedom of selection!
No freedom to experiment, because of unrealistic performance demands!
Player burnout and conditioning, due to demands from and on regional coaches and no unified national plan!
Who could realistically do as well as he has with this scenario?
His contract needs to be relaxed, with regard to the performance clauses, and he needs to be given more control with regards to the players.
I’m sure he feels his performance over the last two years warrants some leeway and control. Give it to him, and lets see our game move forward now.

4 Jul 2006, 16:12 pm
STP – they might have got by but you can be sure there are plenty international rugby players who would have played the Boks in isolation – who feel they missed out !
4 Jul 2006, 16:12 pm
i think jake should stay to improve the our teams i think a coahing course should be started and anyone who wants to coach has at any level should have to spend some time under jakes wing and i think mallet should run the school
one way to pend time with jae if the boks were gonna play in durbs **** muirt would have to spend time with jake in durbs before the test in order to imporve his coaching and that way every coach in the country will be well taught and hav good knowledge bout the way things hould be run

Ig – did you know that your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks, otherwise it will digest itself?
4 Jul 2006, 16:17 pm
Klippies het jy op skool laas verby ‘n rugby veld gestap? Tye het verander en daar is heelwat dinge reeds in plek. Teoreties moet ‘n afrigter vlak 3 afrigtings kursus doen en al die afrigters moes dit al gedoen het. Maar jy het dit om met mense te werk en hulle te motiveer of jy het dit nie.
4 Jul 2006, 16:17 pm
naidoos, ig is a donkey on the edge today, dont push him – if you dont have any thing constructive to say then dont add anything
4 Jul 2006, 16:23 pm
Sorry PC – just that i didn’t know about the stomach thing until 4:15pm today.
4 Jul 2006, 16:28 pm
by the way does that mean that say for instance you have a bender on moer jou vrou and coke or castle and have alc poisoning the next day and start puking bile – is this part of the mucus – we are going to have to start taking it easy
4 Jul 2006, 16:29 pm
paincity
you dont think the puking part is the initial hint?
4 Jul 2006, 16:31 pm
hint to take it easy?

Anybody seen what the bright sparks at WP rugby and their ad agency did for their promo poster?
Its calls bruises. Nice one with all the violence on the club scene. Plonkers.
4 Jul 2006, 16:38 pm
yah, what a bunch of tonsils
4 Jul 2006, 16:47 pm
RedCard
There is only one part of the anatomy they intend on bruising.
4 Jul 2006, 16:48 pm
Lets be honest, since 2004, when we won the Tri-Nations, the Boks haven’t beeb at their supreme best. Last year we had glimpses of the kind of rugby we could play (Aus for example), even then however there was evidence that the Boks had difficulty scoring quality tries but relied instead on Bryan Habana intercepting. the Bok shaven’t been thee force they were 2 seasons ago, when we destroyed the All Blacks in JHB, AGAIN!!
Jake is the best we have, not someone like Allistair Coetsee, just because the ANC youth league say he is the man for the job, I have a suspicion the only motive they have is to have a black/coloured coach, and in so doing include several players of colour, and miracuously take rugby to the masses, those who dont have DSTV!!
If Jake wants an extension, what is the reasoning? Beacuse Victor said he’ll stay if Jake does? Ludicrous. The senior players first have to perform ON the field before they start making requests about coaching staff OFF the field.
Jakes best attribute as a coach is his rugby brain, technically, but his selection policies have left a bit to be desired! Let results speak for themselves and the contract extension will come on it’s own!!

Keo,
I wonder what has happened to JW’s ‘published’ ‘job offer’ with the FRU?
Was it a hoax? (I think it was), was it for real but JW has been lower in the pecking order? or is he still in the run?
If JW needs to beg for his contract extensions to the likes of Boland, Border and other minor union presidents, it’s my belief he was bluffing.
5 Jul 2006, 07:45 am
And that he will do.
5 Jul 2006, 10:56 am
136. How can you claim an exceptional rugby brain and poor selection policy … its the same brain and it has given direction to SA rugby for three years …
so its either good or bad … it can’t be both. Rudolph asked to be judged by his teams performance at the World Cup and JW wants to be judged before his real test comes…
Extension’s can come when he has delivered on his prommise … he would build a world cup winning side in four years … we at year three and now his already thinking of the next world cup and nobody is convinced that he can win the first … no go.
maybe if we want passionate rugby team we need to stop selecting the whites of SA … all they want to do is pack for Perth or paris …
