    By the way – is Smit going to be captain when he comes on on Saturday, or will Victor still be captain?

    @grant10(grant10)-198: Agreed. SARU need to be harder on the coaches.

    @LightZone(LightZone)-191: How right. The Boks of ’86 would run circles round the current lot with a marathon left in them to spare.

    @Sasuke(Sasuke)-203: SARU needed to have let PdV choose his assistants. White was given free reign while PdV hasn’t – how can any backline fire under the astute coaching of Muir.

    @President_of_the_Sharks_rugby_experts(sharks_lover)-199: My man…..smit should be dropped because he is simply not near as good as Bissy….so that is actually a non issue in my way of thinking.

    Then PDV needs to grow a pair and choose the team and tell Matfield to live with it…..

    It is not a question of the best of 2 evile in my mind.

    Fark matfield and plod!

    The 1 is just plain past it….and the other needs to fit in or fark off…..

    Who is the boss?

    PDV is the boss !

    But doesent act like 1 ….that is the problem!

    People forget It is not Smit who selects himself ,( please dont come with the BS that he controls Saru and god knows what else)

    PDiv had a chance to nominate someone else for world cup as Capt just a few months ago, after his visit to Durban where soon afterwards he named Smit as world cup capt

    He also at that stage had the chance to drop him if he so wished , he did not and HE MADE THAT CALL, How the hell does that mean Smit is to blame??

    I am all for Bismark being first choice Hooker as he is the better player now, even though he still has his own short comings.

    The fact is the reason why Players dont have a clue of if they will play , or where they will play is because the Coaching staff have no clue, and that is not Pdiv alone, its the whole bunch

    @Couchcoach(GI POT)-165:

    Post of the year!!! Yet there are so many people in denial in South Africa. Some actually believe that this is a great team today. Well maybe they would have been if they were taught discipline, respect and that hard work brings in the rewards. I too have lost all faith and feel deceived.

    Well said mate!

    @Couchcoach(GI POT)-195: I don’t believe he thinks he is bigger than the game but I do think he is very stubborn (like a previous coach who was also a teacher?) by sticking to a certain pattern. Maybe he will win the RWC this way but what is the price of that victory. I believe that IF we win this thing it would be a pyrrhic victory, as we have lost so much along the way. Does SARU have the capacity and the will to fix things? There will be another commission of inquiry and a new guard but the same thing would apply. Has anyone ever thought that maybe Hoskins also wants to be the administrator who says he is the first to head a union that defends a RWC? Who calls the shots in our rugby? Definitely not the coach…all is not what it seems.

    @grant10(grant10)-208: I’m worried about what you will do once Smit is no longer there and we still perform poorly. Who do you beat once your scapegoat is gone? Or do you simply direct part two of your campaign at someone else? Perhaps Matfield?

    @grant10(grant10)-208: again Grant this is why i do not blame Smit or Matfield , check my previous post

    its the same as no matter how well Lambie played , he was always going to get dropped, and Keo is 100% correct in this TV article of his

    Lambie again gets played in another position and is not picked with the best chance of attacking rugby to link onto as now M Steyn is at 10

    Why not leave Butch at 10?? and see what the backline can do attacking wise??

    IN New Zealand Lambie shone in a team where the forwards were totally outplayed

    This again shows the coahing staff have no clue , they still dont know 100% who the 9 and 10 will be come WC , or the loose forward trio

    Deysel came away from the last 2 tests with his pride and reputaion intact ? where is he now???????????????

    The coach and captain are always responsible for their team whether in 1990 or 2011. Accountability rests with them. Why take on leaderships positions if you don’t want to be accountable.

    What will happen in this RWC will happen regardless. What SARU needs to do is give the coach a mandate to choose his own team (assistants) or at least have a deciding vote in who his team will be in future, as there would obviously be some mandate on which has to deliver. SARU has to then put in place a structure where it says the franchises must have a draft system similar to American Football. SuperRugby as much as it is based on Provinces currently should not really be done in that way. We should see all our Super teams as a collective working towards the way the Springboks play the game. Currie Cup should be a clear system of provincial players who is one step below being chosen for Super Rugby and not the huge step as we have currently.
    How much stronger would it be if any SA Super team wins the tournament or even better if every year we have three teams in the semi’s? How much would the Boks benefit if we could see similar systems being played but with the individual coach’s spin on it?

    From Politics to provincialism to whatever….
    who knows who , where you come from

    here is a comon fact in this country,SOUTH AFRICANS HAVE NEVER STOOD TOGETHER IRRESPECTIVE OF COLOUR, AND YES NOT EVEN WHITES AS A GROUP

    @President_of_the_Sharks_rugby_experts(sharks_lover)-231: Exactly the point. Get rid of provincialism first and the rest will follow. Currie Cup should be fought tooth and nail as a provincial-based system but Super Rugby should be more draft based with a view to the collective (and by this I don’t mean the way the Cats was formed).

    @President_of_the_Sharks_rugby_experts(sharks_lover)-241: I know. Hence my point to borrow from the USA draft system without giving any thought to provincialism. It can work but there will be too many objections by saying players will be uprooted, combinations will break up, etc etc. All excuses and not reasons. We live in a relatively small country and we can fly between provinces within two hours maximum.

    @LightZone(LightZone)-242:

    We also don’t pay players millions of dollars a year.

    You’d find talented players giving up the game rather then move to Bloem for example.

    We’d be better off having a salary cap. Or a depth chart… any player who isn’t included in the top 30 for example could be picked up by someone else if they chose.

    Have been saying all this for a while now… Lambie being stuffed up by Plumtree…

    If it was up to me I’d pick Lambie at flyhalf and that’s that… He’s got the talent …play him where he wants… and let everyone else fight for places after that…

    Much more **** from Plumtree and (whoever) the national coach (is gonna be)… and we’re gonna lose another great player to the UK circuit….

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-205:
    cant believe you actually suggested that. besides, pdivy tried to replace his assistants of his own accord without any interference from hq and look how that went. no reputable world class coaches would be prepared to work as his assistants, unless of course they were just in it for the money and not personal pride and integrity.
    he would probably be able to easily hire a few bozo’s who would just bs him about his abilities and in turn wreak havoc on the boks as a competitive team.

    in short its a bad idea no matter how you look at it. damned if you do, damned if you dont. the screamingly obvious solution is to replace the coach at the end of the wc and let him find/suggest competent coaches who might work as his assistants.

    i am a big fan of heyneke meyer for one, perhaps rassie as assistant with nienaber. they should also shop for really, really astute technical assistants to go with the wise men. lastly, if saru were ever allowed to go offshore then i would say mckenzie.

    “no reputable world class coaches would be prepared to work as his assistants, unless of course they were just in it for the money and not personal pride and integrity.”

    Well D!ck Muir is still getting some R2.5-million a year from the LIons rugby union for doing absolutely squat… So what does that say about Muir…? how reputable is Muir…? Because he is just in it for the money and not the pride, integrity or the glory of the Bok jersey..

    If D!ck Muir had any integrity he would resign from the Lions and let them keep their money…

    Farking gravey trainer…!!
