Plumtree and Coetzee might eventually win the super rugby title, but can you compare their success with that of Meyer’s? HM won 4 currie cups, a super 14 title, and had a successful stint at Leicester Tigers. The structures and players he developed at the Bulls made it easy for Ludeke to win 2 more S14 titles. Keep in mind the core of that group forming the backbone of the springbok team-Matfield, Bakkies, FDP,Habana etc.

It should be unforgivable if another coach without Super Rugby success gets appointed AGAIN. Jake White was lucky to turn things around before winning the world cup. Even though the world cup doesnt mean squat if you cant continue dominating international rugby like the All Blacks have done for the past 2 decades. The reason for their dominance? Because they have had truly professional coaches calling the shots, just look at the teams track record. The last time the boks had a good winning streak was with Mallet and he got sacked and guess what he qualifies as a professional and respectable coach. The embarrassment of PDV is almost at an end and its time to give a respectable coach the top job.

If there is a better coach Id like to hear who it is…

The flawless man, I bet his sh it doesn’t stink either.

60% win ratiois not good enough for the worlds larget rugby playing nation.

Anway why Meyer and not say Mitchell or our besr so far Mallet.

youknowwho you have some major issues dude, never rate yourself like that it looks very bad. You have some seriously thick tinted glasses on and it’s all about race for you.

I lived in the UK as well and seriously I won’t touch Essex girls if I where you, you might end up having to marry a gypsy girl not because you want to but because you have no choice. That whole caravan camp full of Irish travlers will hunt you down.

personally i think that meyer is overrated. if he had lost the final at the tank in 2007 he would not even be mentioned right now.

and as for fdp saying he will play IF meyer is appointed, i say hasofokkoftolandofrisingsunson, we no need you here with attitude that smell like you bum.

too much of hype from these journo fokkers imo.

‘If your scrumhalf crumbles under
pressure your whole team will fall
apart, ’ Meyer explains. ‘Fourie never will
because he has no flaws that can be
exploited. Absolutely none.’

I’ve come across team-mates
who’ve wanted the guy ahead of them
to fail so they could get a chance, but
that ’s never been the case with
Francois. I want to leave South African
rugby in better shape than I got it, and
in Francois you have a player who
could exceed what I ’ve done.’

Having named his heir, what then of a
coaching successor to Peter de Villiers?

Du Preez doesn ’t hesitate: ‘I think
Heyneke would be the perfect
candidate and he deserves the
opportunity given what he ’s achieved.
‘Next year will be a rebuilding year for
the Boks and Heyneke has shown that
there ’s nobody better at putting
structures into place for long-term
success. He could build something that
lasts beyond the four-year cycle
between World Cups and I think we
need that. He hasn ’t been a head coach
at Test level but indirectly he’s been
responsible for much of the success of
South African rugby through his player
identification and player development
at senior and junior level. A hands-on
role would make him so much more
valuable to South African rugby. ’

Du Preez concludes with a telling
statement: ‘I’d reconsider international
retirement if Heyneke became coach.’
