@Hurricane-212:
hehehe
you just dont give up do you.
so he’s coached them for five years and won two crappy six nations titles against the 4,5,6,7, 9 and 11th best teams in world rugby? big deal.
wales is still lower than england and france on the rankings table.. so much for their two titles.
you know the 3nations is between the three best teams in world rugby for only like the last 100 years (exasperated smiley).

you know and i know why they finished higher than us at the last wc (rolling eyes smiley).

i think his ratio is 50% or just below.

by all means count those two bit countries if it gives credence to your argument.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-215: Scotland and Italy are international teams. You think beating Argentina, fiji Samoa, tonga and USA makes you the RWC holders 2007. Dont be an idiot and think Scotland and italy dont count, cos they do.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-215: He started 1 December 2007 First gamre as coach 2008, i think you are the one veing an idiot here. 54% is about right, i went through all his wins and losses. Be my guess have a go but at least dont count 2007 as you suggest, he wasnt coach then clown.

@shooter-213: Why you change my name?? You were also shafted as a fan by your own team. 75% + ball and possesion wasn't enough? IF Brycie was cheating you guys, why did he let you have so much ball?

@Tarrycane-212: Wales finished higher. This is when you know there is nothing left to say on a Tuesday... Really. We beat Wales in the same WC. Albeit close. They went on to play, i think it was Ireland in qf's. We, got shafted by NZ ref of the year. Case closed.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-211:
” how many times has gatland’s wales team beaten us or the ozzies?
two six nations in six years isn’t crowable and a less than 50% win ration to boot.”

What does 6 years have to do with Gatland? He has only coached Wales since 2008. In that time he was won the 6 nations two times.
Well look at it this way, SA have only won a Tri nations once in 6 years. There is only two other teams in the tournament, Wales compete with 5 others. I get it, hes a Kiwi and you hate him, but dont knock Wales, especially when they finished higher than you in the RWC and have actually won their national championship.
Gatland is about 54% win ratio,not great at all, but this is Wales we are talking about, they struggle against SH teams.

@poppa69-202:
ridiculous much? how many times has gatland’s wales team beaten us or the ozzies?
two six nations in six years isn’t crowable and a less than 50% win ration to boot.

@poppa69-203:
huh? that was neve the point you dimwit.
i stated there are saffa’s coaching overseas.
mallet, smal and white come to mind.

@poppa69-204:
hahaha
i knew you would bring that up hahaha so predictable.
you know the reasons for this historical abberation very well poppa and it has less to do with nz rugby and the ab’s than it has to do with south africa’s historical issues. a very small percentage (even when measured today) of the non white population chose to support the next best team after the boks out of frustration and despair at their racial mistreatment.

this wasn’t about you, this was about south africa. even though a lot of these supporters have chosen to remain ab fans and have passed on this support to their children i’m pretty certain the number of non white springbok supporters are far, far higher than the few ab supporters still hanging on to old issues.

where’s your worldwide fanbase mr man u of rugby? people have nothing but contempt for you the world over.

@poppa69-205:
oh good lord, what’s his win ratio overall then? that’s right stfu donny
besides, his success has less to do with him or oz than it has to do with sa politics and stuff.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-201:

“how many national sides coached by kiwis have had any measure of success over sh competition?”

too easy..

Robbie Deans has won 6 of the last 7 times against SA opposition, I think they count as SH… what say you?

poppa69 — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 07:54:55 +0000

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-201: but if our brand is sooooooooo bad why do so many SOUTH AFRICANS cheer the ABs on? we know that SA has the biggest All Black supporters group.. strange, I would suggest that proves our "brand" is as strong as ever...

poppa69 — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 07:51:06 +0000

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-201: like I said, why would NATIONAL unions want NZ coaches and not SA coaches? answer me that.. Wales got further than SA at the recent WC, so I dont quite understand what your point is? they are also 6 nations champs, so again, you are only ever building my argument..

@poppa69-197: huh? shifting goalposts then? how many national sides coached by kiwis have had any measure of success over sh competition? please man, how long has gatland (probably your most succesful export) been with wales now? its about 6 years isn't it? hows their win/loss record?
