A repetitive fool is the worst fool.

Everything is looking up already.

Now I just hope the next coach is appointed on his rugby acumen and not “non rugby related reasons”

So, without looking at Allistair’s merits, you are implying he doesn’t deserve the job?

Who would you pick?

Of course he will. The Springboks will more than likely never again have a white coach.

Allistair Coetzee
Heyneke Meyer
Rassie Erasmus
John Mitchell
John Plumtree

I think Allistair will take it.

“I was critical of Auckland and Wellington only – not of any other places.”

Once I “read your message”, again, I STILL failed to see ONE positive comment from your stay in NZ. And, in fact, just so you made it abundantly clear, the “trailer park off Sydney” summary seemed to encapsulate the whole country of NZ rather succinctly. Unless Im mistaken.

Personally this is my 6th RWC and as Ive returned to NZ after 16yrs living away have been able to view it with a more objective eye than many. The RWCs held in UK (’91 and ’99) were the absolute worst without any ‘rugby fever’ outside of the stadiums themselves, and where most of the population didnt even know it was taking place (other than in Cardiff). Australia in 2003 was fun but outside of Sydney and Brisbane, it may as well have not been on and even then R.League or Aussie Rules was the main focus for most. It was more a ‘sporting event’ than a true Rugby Event. 2007 was wonderful as France is 1 of my favourite countries but, then, it had sold itself down the river with high profile matches in French towns such as Cardiff, London and Edinburgh. And the Final in Paris was merely a curiosity for the locals, most seemed as aloof as only Parisiens can be. I didnt manage SA in 1995 as I was already elsewhere on Honeymoon, but coverage of it was enough to illustrate the almost complete lack of local support for any other nation bar SA. It is, nevertheless, a country Im desperate to visit and have promised myself to 1 day.

Its odd that your comments seem greatly in contrast to every other visitor I have met and the tone seems oddly close to that currently being directed at the referee of yesterdays match. Just a coincidence, Im sure.

I realy hope sarugby officials change their minds about this quota and political **** and starts to think more about rugby itself.

What so wonderfull AC has done at ct? nothing, but at least he knows more about rugby than pdv. Rassie its a good name and so its Brendan Venter. But why it can’t be a non sa born? Eddie Jones it would be perfect.

Schalk has prove he can still play 80 minutes and deserves to be named capitain. Juan Smith is also a good name while he is able to play for the Boks. I hope he at least continues to be used as a bok as far as he can do the job. Big Vic has done an excelent job at his last game and i’ll miss him. I can’t say the same about smit and Spies.
This bullshit about chiliboy as hooker and capitain can’t be serious. He’s not at international level even as a replacement.
Andries Beker and Duane Vermeulen could have really done a good rwc if feat.
Gurthro did an amazing rwc, i hope the new coach don’t forget him. Bakkies should be named at some games, at least half time or 30 minutes just to balance youth and experience and help the next Boks generation.

we have the best human material in rugby, we just have to use it wisely.

how odd that your bitterness only surfaced after your teams defeat.

Personally Ive never visited a country I didnt like. I suppose its all in the attitude.

There are 20,000 Safas who choose to live in NZ. So maybe theyre not all negative miserable b@st@rds like you.

You will see I was critical of Auckland and Wellington only – not of any other places. When you put on an event like this, you need your major population centres to behave, something you haven’t done.

So, for the second time, you have responded to an argument I haven’t made. Obviously you have no retort to my comments so you have to pretend I said something that you can argue with.

And as far as Kobus goes, look back at my responses to him in the past in a number of articles. I don’t agree with that **** but every country has idiots…yours just has more than anywhere else.

you make a lovely couple actually.

The suburb of Mt Eden, the home of Eden Park and my very own residence, has adopted Australia as its ’2nd team’. The street and shops are lined with Australian flags, as is my childrens school. My kids classes are lined with drawings their created of Australian players.

I havent seen any burnt flags yet tho, but I’ll be on the lookout.

Enjoy the post from your countryman, KKK, at 674.
