Mallett free to take up England post
9 Mar 2012
Nick Mallett has told the RFU that he will be available to coach England when they tour South Africa in June.
According to the Daily Mail, Mallett had direct contact with the RFU on a visit to England recently. This report contradicts earlier information that Mallett had only spoken to the chief executive via conference call while still in Cape Town.
The newspaper’s sources confirm that Mallett is willing to coach England after the Six Nations.
Another former Springbok coach in Jake White has been heavily linked with the post. However, on Friday White emphatically stressed his commitment to the Brumbies. ‘I’m here for four years with the Brumbies. I’ve signed on the bottom line and you’ve got to judge people by their actions. Nothing’s changed, I’m still committed to the Brumbies,’ White said.

hope it gets better from there on in, of course if anyone could rebuild england it should be him.

Heyneke giving Nick a thrashing.
I can’t think of many things for satisfying.

@Tacitus(Deucalion)-5:
here’s something we can agree on…!!

for = more
9 Mar 2012, 08:43 am
Sorry Jake.
9 Mar 2012, 08:47 am
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-5:
PdV already did that to Nick – but I guess you did not notice

Jake White should stick it out at he Brumbies.
Otherwise he is in danger of damaging his credibility as a coach.
He has flitted around for a while and is starting to develop a reputation of someone who startts something but doesn’t finish.
Consider the botched Lions intervention.
White should honour his Brumbies contract and get the franchise back to being Super 15 playoff contenders.
Then he can look to coach an international side again.
Time is on his side.
He is young enough.
He just needs some patience.
Let Mallett take on England for now.

Err…you mean when Nick coached Italy?
Don’t make me larf.

So it’s starting to look like Meyer’s coaching staff will consist of:
Erasmus
Nienabur
Loubscher
and possibly Matfield

@Sheriff(Sheriff)-9:
nothing wrong with celebrating pdivvy klapping mallet and the eye-ties…
and celebrating heineken-bru doing the same thing…
they are not mutually exclusive…
strange you take that stance when it was not implied at all in tac’s post…
actually not strange at all..
using your logic… you’re obviously backing mallet and the poms to klap meyer and the boks…

@Tacitus(Deucalion)-11:
Is PdV’s fault that Mallett could not secure a coaching role with a bigger rugby nation?
Why do you want to blame PdV for everything?
9 Mar 2012, 09:38 am
@ufo(ufo)-13:
I read your post to understand your logic, bah there is none
Talking of logic, I dont think you have the logic to understand my logic
9 Mar 2012, 09:59 am
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-14:
will it be heyneke’s fault that pdv will never secure a coaching role with another rugby nation that could possibly face the boks..?.. thus not giving heyneke an opportunity to give pdivvy a coaching lesson in the rugby equivalent of brutal male anal rape..?..hmm..?
no, in this case i do blame pdv for this and i blame him alone.
9 Mar 2012, 10:05 am
Did the Poms only ask 2nd-rate whinging Yappies to apply for the job ?
9 Mar 2012, 10:07 am
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-14:
Why even bring Divvy into this? I wasn’t talking about Divvy. I was talking about Heyneke taking the arrogant Mallet down a notch or two.

@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-16:
That letter was not addressed to you; why do you open other people’s mail?
I bet you also talk with food in your mouth
9 Mar 2012, 10:17 am
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-18:
Yes Mallett is arrogant.
I understand perfectly what you were saying; mine was an optimistic attempt to show you that Mallett needed to go and shake PdV’s hand before; you will recall that PdV was once Mallett’s quota coach
Even Ted had to go and shake PdV’s hand when PdV’s Boks thrashed the ABs
Bah… yes I am always in favour of the arrogant to be humbled, so on this one you have my vote (conjures up memories of the 1992 yes- no referendum)
31.27% said ‘no’ that day – 875, 619 in total; were you one of them?

Hehehe…
A rational, reasoned well thought out response…
not…
sheesh… you make yourself look so silly I almost feel sorry for you…

One thing you can learn from me is this: less is more

My other concern with Mallett taking of the England coaching role and taking on the Boks with Meyer as coach, could ‘conjure’ up images to some of an Anglo Boer War
Boer teen Engelsman
Some would look to Meyer to rectify the wrongs of the ‘scorched earth policy’ which is unfair
9 Mar 2012, 10:29 am
hugh: coach, what are the findings of the post mortem?
coach: n watse goed?
hugh: post mortem, its latin.
coach: hey fokkoff! do i look like a bladdy latin american..?.. you know not everyone with brown skin and a big biker moustache is mexican my friend…thats bladdy racialistic you poepholl.
hugh: they dont speak latin in latin america coach…but tell us, what happened in that quarter final?
coach: ag ja hugh, you know i thought about it a lot you know uh and i realised what happened, australia scored more points than us…
hugh: but why? i mean given how dominant the boks were it should have been a status quo, ipso facto you should have won.
coach: hey! ipso fark jou my friend! seriously, fokkoff with your latin, i’m not a mexican.
hugh: wonderful, wonderful stuff. so any advice for the next springbok coach?
coach: ja look man, at the end of the day you know when all is said and done in the final analysis when you get right down to it after you seperated the sheep from the goats when the chips are down..errr.. what was the question..?…
hugh: any advice for the new coach?
coach: ja, score more points.
hugh: unbelievable, unbelievable…

@Sheriff(Sheriff)-20: Think Tac wasnt old enough to have voted in 92.
9 Mar 2012, 10:37 am
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-23: Hey, that sht was never addressed. There was no TRC with tears and apologies. No washing of the feet and no reparations. In fact, the only acknowledgement that it ever happened came in the form of monuments built by the descendants of the victims themselves. So if the Poms, under Mallet, were to have their arses handed to them by the Boks, under Meyer, it would be pretty groovy on a number of levels.
9 Mar 2012, 10:39 am
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-23:
Maybe.
But then again you now have a Botha plying his trade in the white jersey, not a Boer war hero in this scenario.

He may have selected not to cast his vote as part of a ‘weg-bly protes aksie’

DD @ 22
when do you ever make a point…?
first you have a go a tac for his point… now you agree with his point…
So as far as making a point… logical or not… you don’t…
one point you can count on is I won’t be needing no learnin’ from you
9 Mar 2012, 10:42 am
@ufo(ufo)-29:
he has no point.
in fact there is no point to him at all.

@>^..^< katman(katman)-26:
This is one of the core flaws in psyche of Afrik of those generations. Because they are/were primarily task-orientated they failed to understand the implications emotionally, let alone spiritually
They bounced back and in 1949 inaugurated what is essentially a sun worship structure, but that’s a story for another day and let’s not forget Ap*rtheid
So to look for healing through the Boks may well be wrong way to go
Any win, most notably over the southern hem teams = what we need more of
9 Mar 2012, 10:51 am
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-32: No, Skop’s stool reading has you down as late ’75.

Sport24 reporting that Jake has decided not to apply for the English job.
9 Mar 2012, 10:51 am
@Kietzphat(Kietzphat)-27:
They would see him as a boereverraaier or ‘hensopper’
9 Mar 2012, 10:53 am
Katman
Either that or early ’57. Either way, he is confident that he is 100% accurate.

9 Mar 2012, 10:53 am
@Kietzphat(Kietzphat)-36: He saw Mallet in the queue and thought, “aw, fukket”.

Maybe Mallett will approach him to be a video analyst again.
“We’ll resurrect the old firm!”
But Mallett will be having a laugh.

“One thing you can learn from me is this: less is more

Tac made his point in two lines…
You waffled on for four or five posts and many more words… only to eventually agree with Tac’s succinct “less is more” approach…!!!
better get a few more qualifications and a bit more experience before volunteering any teaching services!!

@Tacitus(Deucalion)-32:
I cannot be far out
For example many pyl males deal with army issues, so you can calculate the ages and not be far out
I build a profile of you, what you say, how you say, your sense of humour and the like
Put it this way, if you were to commit a crime I would locate you within 2 days max if approached by the cops
9 Mar 2012, 11:02 am
heyneke respects nick a lot, he said as much when he was interviewed by xolas ntshinga, he is very grateful of everything mallet did for him – opportunities. mallett mentored heyneke

@Tacitus(Deucalion)-46:
See I knew that would make you ‘larf’
You’re the kind of bloke that would want to enter ‘Boer soek ‘n vrou’ but would end up only making comments on their faceb**k page
I also bet you have a secret crush on the new (and prev one for that matter!) presenter and must have been devastated to read in the Rapport that she got married!
What did you expect? Did you h-o-n-e-s-t-l-y think she will wait for you??
9 Mar 2012, 11:11 am
@Sheriff(Sheriff)-43: Tac has mentioned his wife, never having kids though.
That means its unlikely for him to be 39, 40 years of age. Furthermore he has admitted to his wife dragging him off to various social functions over weekends, leaving him unable to watch all of the rugby games on offer, forcing him to often settle for only the Bulls game as a trade off.
Thus fairly newly married, again unlikely to be 40 or so.

Hehehe

you just made a righttit of yourself contradicting yourself on several occassions in this thread…
