    @stormersboy(stormersboy)-133:

    Agreed. Give it to Allister and get it over with. Not my preferred choice, but I’m not about to jump of a bridge either. I’ve got faith in him.

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-148: I’m with you on that comment- building it yourself shows that he understands all the moving parts of the machine that is winning-rugby.

    his other fave outfit was white rugby shorts 1996 vintage.

    he liked them to match his white SL.

    @hendrikp(hendrikp)-151: Yeah he’ll be fine. I know that he is well liked by the players, he’s calm, media savvy (sort of) has loads of experience and surrounds himself with great assistants (Proudfoot etc.). I’ve got no problem with him but I would just love a foreign coach.

    And screw this xenophobic rubbish. If we deemed Pareira and the other bulb nosed one good enough to coach the bafanas, then we can surely consider rugby coaches from abroad. I reckon Warren Gatland would have been a decent candidate, but the Welsh have locked him in a barn somewhere until we’ve appointed someone.

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-148: I agree, what he did with the Bulls was mostly down to him, he created what was required for sustainable success. We need someone who can build our Boks into the best side in the world for the next 10 years and beyond, not just for one world cup

    why are people who want meyer to be the coach cheerleaders?

    what about people who want mitchell or mallet or AC unit to be the coach?

    are they also cheerleaders?

    how does this work?

    can you detect their cyber pom poms?

    @Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-152: Similarly, I don’t understand the nonsensebeing directed at Coetzee. The Stormers were pathetic under ol’ Kobus. The structures in the union were worse than pathetic, etc. Rassie and Coetzee have worked wonders.

    Anyone saying Coetzee is rubbish merely has to think back to the Stormers’ flyhalf crisis and how it was handled, how the new boys performed… WP has been hit by a swamp of injuries and yet the boys were still within a shout of making the semis. The mark of a good coach.

    I would be happy with either Meyer or Coetzee. I think Meyer won’t apply, as he has said before, and that Coetzee should deinitely apply.

    Though what you could have is Rassie as head; he will look after the structures, Coetzee as the main guy on the field and a variety of specialists brought in.

    @Skeppie(Skeppie)-163: Yes, and both Meyer and Rassie (with Coetzee) have proven themselves. We need sustained success.

    What does Victor Matfield know? Ryan do me a favour. You’re a kid, show some respect to one of the greatest Springboks of all time. Usual baseless sentimental drivel coming out here. We’ve heard from numerous sources that Meyer won’t be applying. SARU have already interviewed him remember? They decided he wasn’t the man they wanted. Do you seriously think they will expose themselves for the fools they are by putting him through the entire process again and employing him this time? Coetzee will be getting the job and all of us will be here on this site whinging about how conservative his tactics are and how average the Boks are.

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-166: I like. The fact that Alistair survived well in Superrugby and CC with diabolical flyhalf situation is magic. He won games playing Coleman at 10 without him even contributing in 1st game just to get him used to the level. He has played 9 at 10. He is bringing the potential of Deon fourie, Nic Koster, Johan sadie, JJ Engelbrecht etc. He looks a good communicator and looks technically sound

    If anything, the Stormers have been mismanaged by Rassie who spends all their money on washouts.

    AC has gotten on with players many argue are over the hill, and the worst front-row in Super rugby. Not often you see a front-row with players like Blaauw and Harris in a Super rugby semi-final.

    Everyone complaining about him might as well get over it. He’s going to be the next Springbok coach.

    @Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-172: John Smit thinks so, called him the greatest Bok ever, which is something when some of us can remember Oom Frik, he was a great athlete and player who could destroy the opposition on his own almost.

    @hendrikp(hendrikp)-173: I think in Alistair and Meyer we have two good candidates my only concern with a SA coach though is the provincial bias. For this reason it may be better to go with a foreign coach.

    @Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-175: As hard as nails, the only lock that came close to him in my opinion thereafter in being able to do the hard work and perform in the lineouts and in general play was Louis Moolman. Hennie Bekker and Vleis Visagie and that shorter WP lock were all good but those 2 were the stand out locks.

    @Bismarck Burger(Bismarck Burger)-171: I like Duvenhage at flyhalf. He is a better flyhalf than scrummie and I prefer him to Peter Grant.

    @bananaboy(bananaboy)-178: Ol’ Hugo was Visser’s WP partner and also good.

    Surprised no one has mentioned Adolf Malan?

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-179:

    Wouldn’t call him a better flyhalf, but would be nice to find a suitable alternative to Grant. Hopefully van Aswegen steps up. Don’t think Catrakilis is anything more then a decent CC player.

    Duvenage is a very good scrumhalf.

    Anyway as the days lengthen and the shadows shorten a man’s thoughts turn to cricket. The delicate scent of linseed oil and then sweet sound of willow on leather.

    and the fuckshow that is the bullring.

    the ozzies are in town and some payback is in order.

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-167: I have a lot of respect for AC ever since his days at the sharks but i do not think he is head coach material just yet (might be a bit unfair of me). My two top candidates would be Heyneke Meyer and John Mitchell, the main problem is though, both are mainly forward coaches…we need to find a really good backline coach to assist. Carlos Spencer? AC himself? Who else is there?

    i don’t want alister coetzee near the Bok coaching job, he is the king of rugby excuses and cliches…

    “we didn’t show up” “we weren’t clinical” “taking it one game at a time” blah blah

    with AC coaching the Stormers the only thing that has improved is the defence and that is credit to Nienaber who came along with Rassie from Free State otherwise zilch.

    @hendrikp(hendrikp)-181: Yup, I liked the look of Gary too.
    Personally, I think Duvenhage got the backline moving better as flyhalf and the next scrummie (forgot his name) showed enough mongrel to be considered as a starting no 9.

    It’s fullback that I am most concerned about. Jantjies doesn’t cut it anymore.

    @Skeppie(Skeppie)-183: Coetzee is the Stormers head coach. Rassie is just very involved with strategy, as a director of rugby should be.

    Nic Groom? He looks pretty good. Schreuder as well.

    Duvenage hasn’t got the tactical kicking game to be a full-time flyhalf. His brain works like that of a scrumhalf… a very good scrumhalf. I hope the Stormers don’t use him there too often, because I’d hate to hear arguments for him to play there full-time.

    You are correct, Jantjes doesn’t cut it anymore. I’d like a back-three consisting of Habana, Poolman & Aplon.
