@Big Hit(Big Hit)-111: Hang on, i thought the RWC told the true story as you have been saying over Keo for years. OZ made the SF, England and SA didnt. That makes OZ a better team than those two, of course thats going on your logic over the years. Have you changed your mind now?

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-103:

Well other than Mallet stating he is ‘never’ going back to South Africa… Louden has stated he’s only interested in a head-coach position hence his move to Sydney University…

His track-record from 2004 is exceptional not just on attack and in the backs… he’s certainly got all the credentials… but would he want to come back and live in South Africa is a different story…

we can all hope for Mallet, but when last did SARU not disappoint? it will be AC, which is not terrible but not ideal.

@Big Hit(Big Hit)-115: You are almost correct re the Eng/Oz clashes BH. I was of course TOTALY WRONG. It is actually 7 all. As for Aus or SA being the stronger rivalry. Not much in it, since the professional era began. Marty showed a lot a dignity today. He will be back.

@The Gloater – formerly cane(cane)-112: they're not 7 from 7 since 2002, it's Oz 8-6 Eng and they've had more home games. Australia are not a great side and have not been since the turn of the century. I never understand why NZers talk up the Bled, their battle with SA is a much closer and more competitive affair. I think it's NZ 6-5 SA since the last WC? the Bledisloe Cup during that time is NZ 12-2 Oz. Agree re. Johnno, he should not have been fired, especially since there now doesn't appear to be anyone to replace him.

I don’t want Wayne Smith for the boks, nor GH. I want the Boks to stick with ****** SA coaches.

@Big Hit(Big Hit)-111:

if Australia are so cr*p Biggles,
then how is it they are 7 from 7 against Old Blighty, since 2002?

BTW…………………………………Told you so re Marty. A real shame actually. He should have been groomed for 5 or 6 years before being thrown to the dogs.

@The Gloater – formerly cane(cane)-109: lol how is that an achievement, Australia are **** and haven’t won/retained the bledisloe since the last time they were actually good – 2002

mshiniwami #103 – Wow that is a strong coaching team. Oen can only wish and dream for that to happen. Mind you if AC has already been quoted as he hasnt been approached by SARU then maybe there is a reason for Mallet refusing England coach job and returning to SA!!!

@mpundulu(mpundulu)-108: Ted's greatest achievement was never losing The Bledisloe Cup while he was at the helm. 8 straight years. The NZRFU view the Bledisloe as second only to Bill in importance. GH's Coaching record is friggen amazing.

@stew(stew)-77: You've refuted nothing of henry's record nor game strategy. Super 15 and test level coaching abilities are separate, you forget that Wayne smith started the crusader dynasty not deans.

@HongKongSlong(HongKongSlong)-101: my apology, i thought you were recommending him for the boks. if its for england then sure, dont know if he'd be the man to rebuild after a mediocre performance by johnson though.

Hmmm…so does Mallett have his eye on an even bigger job?

I would hope so…
