@TheTackler(TheTackler-84: if “never ever got the S14 dreaded wooden spoon” is an achievement then I think your standards are slipping

@TheTackler(TheTackler)-84: he got nowhere with Western Force, the players disliked him and things were always on edge. His employers didn't exactly put up much of a fight to retain him when the Lions signalled their interest. Indeed, the Lions haven't yet posted an improvement on last year's CC results either. I think he's a good coach, but much tougher tests lie in store.

@lemon(lemon)-68: His "not-so-good" record in Perth involved creating a Super Rugby team from scratch out of thin air in the world's remotest city with zero rugby union tradition in a country where rugby union as a whole comes in 4th -- well behind Rules, League and Soccer. And he built a team that never ever got the S14 dreaded wooden spoon and which often didn't come last out of the Aussie sides. Not a bad start, really. Let's see how the new Melbourne team does by comparison.

@Budza(Budza)-53: so what the lions are competitive in the cc?! where there are realy only 5 teams to play against-and its not exactly like they are full with world beaters ,may i ask ,would the lions beat a full strength bulls side ? Mitchell has improved their defence it must be said! i think pdv needs to take controll of his players ,becuase they run the show ...and must include deysel and alberts (especially alberts) in his springbok out fit ! go sharks

Mallet is still our best coach …… Meyer coached the Bulls in a different era …. the game has changed and the Bulls style and pattern might not be the right approach.
Unfortunately PDV will not get axed ……. just such a pity politics plays such a big role in our rugger . We have achieved quite a lot …..just imagine what the Boks could have achieved without all the political **** that goes on in SA .

@J.B. Cowper(J.B. Cowper)-79: Silly T started that match, 15 vs 14 was not fair, but the result is recorded forever on the scoreboard.

In fact, Mitchell’s All Black’s win by +50points at Loftus over Boks was the best performance I’ve ever seen by an All Black side … particularly the running of the backs was breathtaking – it was PERFECT rugby and Mithcell coached it – then the guy was stabbed in the back by the Kiwis after doing brilliant service, because his side lost one major game.

By this criterica some of our coaches would be tortured and then burnt at the stake in front of huge crowds in Auckland … and their houses burnt down and all their friends shot.

@grant10(grant10)-74: I am not. I think the Boks shot themselves in the foot by not taking 2010 more seriously.

Everyone seems to be calling John Mitchell the new messiah with what he has done at the Lions so far but fail to remember his “not-so-good” record at the Force.
