PdV never gives a straight answer – It just pisses me off!
At first I cut him some slack because English is his second language, but as my Afrikaans friends tell me, his spits equal bile when speaking kitchen dutch……grrrrr

#2 katman: Actually wrong - the S press have a reputation for trying to catch onto somethingthat teh coach stands for and rubbish it. I actually think that PdV has handled the unbridled poison that they are capable of wite well - I have to laugh at it sometimes, since it is so "in your face".

This how the guy speaks,
Leave him be.
I will judge him on the field,
And yes I do have concerns……

Astonishing. A religious experience, reading this ****. This man’s mind is the work of a genius. It could not have evolved, becvause it’s clearly not the fittest. As the exception, he proves the theory of intelligent design. Or have I also been smoking too much of that green stuff?

Hahaha – he is off his friggin trolley!!! What kind of statement is this -
“It’s like being in an accident. If somebody dies in a car accident you just replace them and that’s what we will have to do.”

Ja man my daughter died in an accident yesterday but its ok hey – we´ve just decided to replace her.

Yeah Pieter – well said sir… we are groot k@k is all I can say.

“I don’t worry about how it’s going to be, what’s important is how I react to what happens.”

No, moron. A coaches job is to worry about how it’s going to be, and prepare for all eventualities.

Or in language he might understand : if you go out in the morning expecting sunshine, make sure you have a jacket just in case it doesn’t turn out like that.

It’s known as having a Plan B. Fortunately the players are good enough that they don’t need a coach, but unfortunately they aren’t allowed to select the team themselves.

When I read the article in the magazine, I almost cried for the players. How can you work under a manager (in this employment case, a coach) like that? Jo!Jo!Jo! Al these comments will be judged come kick-off on game day.

I think we just enjoy attacking PDV such that we dont even see some of the good things he does like getting the 97 Boks to come spend time with the current ones.even though some of his answers are not one that an ordinary person would usually give ,some of them did make sense.like the structure bit(isen this what we all cry about) and the whole players make the coach not the other way round.the kicking bit is right as well in my opinion ,u have to concentrate on all areas

what if it mean our support for PDV will be the difference to a successful whitewash??? then what?? i say lets support the boks wholeheartedly and that means PDV as well.

#12 Tacitus thinks the Bulls made certain “experts” look silly this season: Didn't they both come back from lucrative deals overseas to play for PdV?

As nice a guy as he seems these questions were put through the SARU/ANC machine first and PdV was given his replies.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall when Victor Matfield and John Smit meet in private to discuss their coach.

My goodness, they must let out all of their pent up emotions by getting together for weekly hour-long sessions of uncontrolled hysterical laughter.

lol … gotta love the way he handled the interview. Good on you oom piet, these vultures will always try to set u up wherever u go, keep frustrating them with your answers to their loaded questions hahahaha I especially loved this -

John Smit hasn’t played much at tighthead this year. Does that concern you?
I expected to be greeted by sunshine when I woke up this morning and I got my clothes ready, but it was overcast. I don’t worry about how it’s going to be, what’s important is how I react to what happens. I just put those clothes back and changed. That’s life. John is a student of this game and he will take on any challenge to make a difference for his country.

hahaha this guy cracks me up!

Did he actually answer any of the questions or am I just thick and not getting it?
