The days of moering them in the forwards and then hoofing up and unders should go the way of the ox wagon – since it’s as innovative as a bleeding ox wagon. But Blue Bulls ox wagon rugby seems to be the only thing that HM knows. The bottom line is that we have the players in SA to produce any kind of rugby. The problem is the coaching – dull, unimaginative, unable to adjust to the circumstances and for the most part, downright stoopid.

Boks are at their best when they are playing with passion and physicality and superb defence – we run ‘the expansive game’ in the last 20 minutes when the other side have been hammered so much they want the game end. It’s not pretty, it’s not clever – but it’s the Bok way and, for some of us, lovely to watch.

But we do need a fetcher.

Puuuuussshhhhh!!!

“Hooper is an out-and-out fetcher, and you won’t seem him defending or carrying the ball like Pocock or the Boks’ Francois Louw. It will be a problem for the Wallabies, especially if their pack as a collective does not dominate the collisions.”

Hooper then carried the ball for 51 metres, more than anyone else

Hmmm

Which is why you are a rugby coach and not an outhouse constructor.

Love it mate.

ANYONE with a measly modicum of common sense can SEE wtf to do and WHO to select WHERE .. and WHAT is WRONG with this fckup Moron’s emaciated self duped delusional strategy that KICK CHASE RUGBY IS MORS DOOD LONG A F’NG GO..!!!!

lol

Have you got your level one coaching certificate yet wonder boy?

ANYONE could have done Better .. ANYONE

I betcha that Naka Drotske and Hawies Fourie would have done a DAMN SIGHT BETTER.. or Pote Human .. or Alan Solomons or ANYONE ..!!!

Failing which I’ll drink this goddamn poisoned chalice and SHOW this Moron how its done.

Eng 3rd test – a late missed DG attempt away from a defeat; Arg in Mendoza – lucky charge down try & a tie; Aus – don’t know what do to with decent ball.
All Blacks – _______________

I Beg to differ

Has it ever entered your mind that the bok coaching job is a ‘poisoned challis’ within the current structures? I mean the poor guy has very little support as a coach. There has been no coaching and planning continuity. He was appointed 6 months too late, he has scrambled to put together a management team. There is no planning or support in terms of player management and planning and mapping this to an overall tactical blue print.

It is a mess.

And we expect this guy to perform miracles?

I do not think anyone would have done any better.

and THEN the powers that be will be faced with the embarrassment of either having to FIRE this incompetent clown or face the fact that they have to ALLOW him his learning curve and suffer the consequences of hiring somebody who they THOUGHT was the answer but emphatically is NOT..!!
