They must give it to Bismark. He has been screwed over by them all year. This award should be to make up for it.

For me Burger is the only logical choice there.

Bismark has looked good on occasion but hasn’t been the no 1 hooker this year. It would be a travesty if he got it IMO,

@JEZ(DEE DAH)-106: The Currie Cup has been watered down this season so that achievement doesnt hold that much weight.

With the hole left by these senior players, we will still be building a decent team in 2015. That’s what happens when you don’t blood enough youngsters and pick just grandpas to play. Our average age was 28, while France and the ABs was 26.

Alistair has already proven that he is not one for giving youngsters a chance and identifying good talent. With this in mind, their is no chance he will be able to take the Bok coaching job. Heyneke will take us back to the kick n chase, so what would be the point of putting him in charge of strategy, but may make a good forwards coach. Rassie, did well with the little time he was given to build a team.

**** and Gary must f’off with PDV.

Eddie Jones or Rassie would be my picks.

@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-101: Why don't you suggest different winner then? John Plumtree? The Sharks? I don't think Alistair Coetzee is amazing but winning the conference of the Super 15 and coming 2nd on the overall log is the biggest achievement a South African coach has made this year...

I think Victor Matfield might win a sentimental Player of the Year.
At least I hope so.

@Bagel(Bagel)-100: what did the Stormers achieve in the Super15? They lost a home semi final. Yuk. What has Coetzee won as coach? Boggerall. Pretty clear from your "nominations" which province you are from, you didn't need to confirm it.

@David(David)-96: if they lose they lose.. and thats not my favourite song.. my fav song is a song by Smokey Robinson, simply called "the tears of a clown"

I’ll be shouting for the ABs tomorrow, but if they lose, Poppa can always console himself with his favourite song on his way home, “Ewe are my one and only!”.

@I am a stormer(I am a stormer)-82: I don't know why they don't just relocate to Cape Town. Our Vodacom team needs a bit of strengthening next year.
