Worst Bok display ever, says White
17 Jul 2006
Jake White has told the New Zealand media the 49-0 loss to the Wallabies was the worst Bok performance he could ever remember.
The 53-3 defeat against England ranks in the top 3, but it was a Bok ‘C’ team, who played 70 minutes with 14 men against the pending World Champions. The 52-16 defeat against the All Blacks was bad, but the build-up was marred by all sorts of in-house dramas.
From a pure playing point of view, given the quality of the Bok XV, White said he had never seen worse.
“To be fair I think as a guy who’s been watching the Springboks since I was a boy that’s probably the worst I’ve seen it happen. I take responsibility for that. You take the bad times with the good times.
“When you get it wrong, you can get it badly wrong.”
White said to describe the team as hurting was an understatement.
“They’ve never been in this position before. I’ve never been in this position like this since I’ve been coaching at anytime in my life and I’ve coached club rugby, I’ve coached colts rugby, I’ve coached school rugby and I’ve never ever had to endure the thing that I saw on Saturday night.
“There’s no book you can buy and go to chapter six where it says in this situation this is what you say and this is what you do. The reality is that as a group of people and a group of Springboks that hold the jersey very proud, hopefully we’ll make the right decisions.”

Vindicated – Why would the Aussies want to gloat – i think the rugby world especially our Tri Nations buddies are little preplexed and at a loss for words to describe what they actually saw on Saturday

White should do a media blockout and get the guys to knuckle down and get it together
17 Jul 2006, 16:36 pm
so where are the gloating Aussies – have they been banned from this site ?? i cant belive how quiet they are

The match fee clause in the players contrct probably says that in return for playing rugby for the game, they will get X match fee. So by my reckoning, they should not get a thing, since there was no rugby being played (by any Boks anyway) on that field.
If the Boks persist in being such unprofessional, temperamental players and teams, they will lose support. I for one will never spend R600 for missus and myself again after going to see the boks smashed 52-16 at loftus. Pit the poor wankers who shelled out big cash for the Suncorp stadium tickets. I guarantee that the Boks supporters wont be back in a while…

Daar is darm baie positiewe wat hulle uit die game uit sal kan haal. Een is dat die manne baie vriendelik en op en wakker was na die wedstryd, net smiles waar jy kyk

Dear Jake. Please do not listen to the negativity. It is possible to turn things around and give a much better performance. You have shown you are a good coach – please just go back to doing what you were doing 2 years ago when we won the Tri-nations and you were voted coach of the year. Selection is subjective, and everyone’s starting XV would be different. With the right attitude, you and all the current players can still do us proud. One piece of positive criticism though – look at form players (like Luke W and Ruaan P) when you select. Consistency is good but there are limits. And I won’t say good luck, because luck has nothing to do with it. All we expect is that you give your best for your country.

but it waaas a drop kik
17 Jul 2006, 17:11 pm
Jake you are a fool if you think those jokers hold the jersey proud. They were laughing their asses off after the game.
17 Jul 2006, 17:11 pm
Dear Jake
Please do not listen to voxi gatani. He know not what he say!
17 Jul 2006, 17:31 pm
Die bokke gaan die alblacks ruk die naweek gee kans Jake gaan vir Jaco nog n kans gee om almal verkeerd te bewys hy gaan met dropgoals vir ons die wedstryd wen!!
17 Jul 2006, 19:37 pm
Dear Jake.
Piss Off.

Jake’s problem is that he doesn’t read warning signs. The “World XV” — a booze-cruise team cobbled together at the last moment — came damned close to beating them, but it didn’t ring any alarm bells. Jake just took the win and sailed calmly on. Then came the home loss to France. Jake was more concerned about the end of his home win record than any lessons from the defeat itself. And he held his course as if nothing had happened. The loss to France was just a fluke.
Then the huge 49-0 explosion right in his face as his ship hit the sea-mine everyone else saw coming.
Well, at least now he’s paying proper attention and studying his charts.
But it takes something this large to wake Jake out of his daydreams. He can’t read the subtler hints along the way that there’s trouble heading his way. Everything can be solved with better bleeps and benchpresses and more test caps for the elderly like Os and Percy.
Well, he’s finally got his wake-up call.

Jappies eg 125, average Aus supporters (myself and friends) are not getting carried away by last Saturday. What I am pleased about is our lot are moving ahead and seem united, and are playing attractive rugby. Re Sat, I think SA turned up a bit lazy – wrong selections at 7 and 10 for a start, and then Percy had one of his occassional shockers – and then dropped their bundle when things got away. We see it all the time in S14 when SA teams play the Brumbies in Canberra. SA have the opportunity to put things right next Saturday in NZ – if not by winning, then playing tough and smart. And as has been pointed out, the Aus record in SA is err kak. And the horrors of the Wallabies 05 season are still fresh for any arrogance or smugness from this shackle dragger.
