Jake hammers Heyneke
30 Aug 2012
Jake White says Heyneke Meyer’s game plan for the Springboks is not a winning one.
The Brumbies mentor was speaking at a fundraiser at Emperors Palace in Kempton Park, according to Die Burger.
‘Heyneke’s coaching style is not a style that will help the Boks to win,’ said White. ‘If you can’t score at least four tries against Argentina, then there is a big problem.’
White said Meyer’s long stint with the Bulls had inevitably influenced his approach at Test level.
‘Heyneke was always going to get criticism because of his background with the Bulls. He was chosen as [Bok] coach because of the success he achieved as Bulls coach and it will naturally play a role in the way he coaches the Boks.’
White said that the more pressure Meyer was put under, the more he would revert to what worked for him at the Bulls.
‘If, for example, he must choose between Gio Aplon and Zane Kirchner, he will choose Kirchner every time,’ he said.
Meanwhile, former Bok captain Bob Skinstad reportedly described Meyer as a ‘dictator’, adding that ‘you can see during the match how he has told the players exactly what to do. They must learn to adapt.’
However, Skinstad later tweeted that he had not used the word ‘dictator’.

@Dylan-799: if you read the “Koebaai Jake”, story there is NO mention made of any commment form Heyneke. You can’t blame him for being approaced by SARU. Perhaps there was more behind the scenes.
But the point is made, the rugby public should give our coaches more leeway. If JW had any class, he would keep his comments for himself.

It’s not the selections, it the game plan. Can anyone see the All Blacks playing like this? They would rather pack up and play in France if they had to dish out this s h i t.

Skop en jaag en crashball…..laat my dink aan daai gemors wat Ian Mckintosh probeer het met Heinrich Fulse en Pieter Muller jare gelede. Hoekom dink alle bok afrigters (uitsluitende Mallet) ons spelers is groter en sterker en moet dus bo-oor oposisie hardloop?

@leeman-801: Jake has as much class as a Saturday morning babelaas kak…
31 Aug 2012, 15:49 pm
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE-804: Apparently it was Captain Morgan speaking. Even without class he still made more sense than HM.

Heyneke gaan sy gat sien as hy so aanhou. Terug Eagles toe boeta, gaan leer weer hoe om rugby te speel onder die nuwe reels.

@logie_Jumpbuck-803: Want hulle is vaaljapies sonder insig
31 Aug 2012, 15:52 pm
@TooMuchRugby-805: Jake also had a rough couple of years before sense prevailed and he got in someone who knew more about rugby than him….enters Eddie and saves the day for Jake. If Jake farked up WC 07 he would’ve beel labelled in the Harrie Viljoen Rudolph Strontsak level

Give me back Jake anyday. At least he adapted and was willing to seek help when he couldn’t make it work. Don’t see that happening anytime soon with Heyeneke. Draconian dragon!
31 Aug 2012, 15:56 pm
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE-808: Agreed. I’m not defending Jake’s coaching ability, but I do agree with what he said about HM, even if he is a doos.

@TooMuchRugby-807: ek dink nie jy weet eens wat n vaaljapie is nie. As jy daarmee bedoel Afrikaans, Mackintosch was Ingles jong. Selfde kak, selfde resultate.
31 Aug 2012, 16:00 pm
@logie_Jumpbuck-809: And you make that assumotion after three months in the seat for HM. Look I am not enjoying what I am seeing either but there is a hell of a lot more to HM than what we are currently seeing. I hope for his sake thing start turning pretty quickly or the seat will become very hot indeed.
@TooMuchRugby-810: If the comment came from anybody else but Jake it might have carried more water but hey maybe he was the only one with enough kanters to do so.
I still reckon HM is not a sprinter but rather a marathon runner. Only problem is that when you take over the Boks you have to deal with fooooooking inpatient fans.
31 Aug 2012, 16:05 pm
@logie_Jumpbuck-812: Vaaljapie kan beteken net wat jy wil he dit moet.
In my geval is dit verteenwoordigend van enige afrigter wat hierdie vervelige (en oneffektiewe) stampkar rugby voorstaan, maar vir jou beteken dit dalk ‘n ou trekker of selfs ‘n goedkoop bottel wyn.
Maar as jy dink dis ‘n aanval teen Afrikaners moet jy miskien daai chip van jou skouer afhaal.
So by the way, ek is ook Afrikaans en stem saam met wat jy van HM se, so klim maar af van jou agterpootjies ou maat.

Heyeneke doesn’t fill me with confidence….he looks too stressed and wired. Old Henry used to be the best, quiet and confident all through the game.
31 Aug 2012, 16:09 pm
@logie_Jumpbuck-809: he’s only had 5 games, can we give him time to find his feet
31 Aug 2012, 16:10 pm
@TooMuchRugby-814: ou trekker is reg, n gryse wat ek van kindsbeen af gery het. Glad nie, ek wil net nie he mense moet Afrikaanse afrigters = dom rugby voorstaan nie. Mackintosh was net so stampkar bevok soos Heyneke. Wonder hoekom ons nie weer vir Mallet in die tuig kan kry nie. Alles behalwe skop en jaag rugby…asb.

@Transformation-816: what feet? 16all draw vs the argies?? I’m sorry, I hate to point out the obvious, but loosing against second tier nations is unacceptable in my book, under any coach at anytime of his career. I can’t see this gameplan ever changing either…..he believes what he believes, and he will continue with it until he gets lucky or sinks the whole damn ship. Saw it with Mack as well. Too one eyed and regimental.
31 Aug 2012, 16:17 pm
I never did like the Bulls mentality…..daai ‘ek sal jou wys!’ maniere van hulle.
31 Aug 2012, 16:18 pm
@logie_Jumpbuck-817: Dan stem ons saam. Ek is so gatvol vir hierdie tipe rugby dat ek dit oorweeg om oor te skakel na cake boss of Oprah as die springbokke speel.
Om eerlik te wees dink ek nie daar is ‘n afrigter in SA tans wat ons kan verlos uit hierdie hel nie. Ons sal maar oorsee moet gaan soek.
31 Aug 2012, 16:22 pm
@TooMuchRugby-820: Presies, dink jy dit is toevallig dat die twee SA superrugby spanne wat hardloop rugby speel NZ afrigters het? Gee dan eerder vir Plumbtree die job.
31 Aug 2012, 16:23 pm
@Transformation-816: Frankly I don’t even care anymore if he finds his feet or even his lost car keys, or if the Springboks win or lose anymore. I just can’t stand watching this uninspired, dreary sh.it anymore. I love the game and it would have been nice to have the team representing my country at least dish up something that we can be proud of, but this **** is too much for me. It’s not good for my sanity. I’m at the stage that i would rather watch NZ play than the Bokke.
31 Aug 2012, 16:28 pm
@logie_Jumpbuck-821: Ek dink die Kings het ‘n goeie besluit geneem om NZ afrigters te kry. Nou kort hulle net ‘n paar spelers van gehalte.
Sorry, maar ek is oorspronklik van die Oos-Kaap en kan nie help om ‘n soft spot vir die Kings te he nie, al is hulle toegang tot SuperRugby effens “dodgy”
31 Aug 2012, 16:29 pm
@TooMuchRugby-822: Makes two of us. I certainly won’t dish out R550 a ticket to watch the Springboks murder rugby live. It’s an uninspiring kick-chase game I can play with my dog….and Fido can run, unlike the bok backline!
31 Aug 2012, 16:31 pm
@TooMuchRugby-823: same here, grew up shouting PROVINCE from the railway stand as a laaitie on Boet Erasmus. Hope they give a few teams some stick next year.
31 Aug 2012, 16:33 pm
@logie_Jumpbuck-824: Hahaha. And Fido has got balls too!

Possibly the greatest quote in the history of Keo.

@cab-827:
Vokken snaaks hoe hulle kan saamstem oor iets terwyl hulle “verskil.”
31 Aug 2012, 22:30 pm
@SodaJoe-828:
No doubt.
The funniest thing EVER said on Keo.
I laughed…and laughed… and laughed… after reading that.
Who said Skop has no sense of humour?
Hy skiet baie van die sogenaamde comics op die site ‘n kaart.
Vok, daai was bleddie snaaks.

@Dylan-800:
“@789.Rhys7 – even though I think there are better players at 10 than Jantjies,”
Pity you did not name them. You have to remember that we are always talking about 5 players in every position on the field for the most part since there are only five franchises in the S15.
So afa FH goes we have Morne, Jantjies, Grant, Goosen, Sias Ebersohn and Lambie competing for the no. 10 position.
Who, in your mind, is better than Jantjies keeping in mind that Goosen was injured, Sias was his understudy, Lambie played full back because the Froggie played FH.
That leaves Morne and Grant as his competition. Who of the two is better than him? Honest opinion .
