Koen keeps faith in Morne

Koen keeps faith in Morne

Springbok kicking coach Louis Koen thinks pressure and fatigue could be the primary reasons for Morne Steyn’s goal-kicking struggles, but said he will recover and he could play a pivotal role on the year-end tour.

Steyn has battled this year but was backed by Heyneke Meyer on the basis of his match-winning ability with the boot. However, he crashed in Dunedin with the All Blacks on the ropes, missing a string of kicks that would have altered the result.

Koen was lost for an absolute explanation on Steyn’s form, but speculated that he was feeling the heat.

‘It is difficult to pin-point the exact reasons. We’ve been logging every single kick in training since before the England series, and for example, Morne has kicked around 620 kicks from all over the field since then and averaged about 88%, by far the best of the kickers,’ Koen said.

‘Technique-wise we’ve done a lot of analysis and I haven’t changed anything. So when it comes down to performance in a match, it is probably due to pressure and expectation. However, outside of the 2010 Tri-Nations, Morne has never achieved above an 80% success rate in any series he has been involved in. There’s a perception that he achieves 95% every time he is involved. The expectations were high and the pressure built on him. It became a question of handling pressure and he found that tough.

‘Also, a guy like Dave Alred (widely regarded as the world’s best kicking coach) believes the kicking game is as much mental as it is technical, so fatigue could be an issue. In Morne’s case he has played a lot of rugby in the last three years. [Fatigue] certainly could have been a factor.’

The Springboks’ coaching staff have, however, consistently stressed that Steyn’s Test career is far from over. Koen echoed that sentiment, suggesting that he may be re-installed at flyhalf sooner than some expect.

‘I believe with my whole heart that he’ll be back,’ he said. ‘He needs to regain his confidence in the Currie Cup. He still has a lot to offer South African rugby. If you look ahead at the year-end tour to Europe, where a more tactical approach is needed, I can’t speak for the coach but he can be very effective in that environment.’

The Springboks’ goal-kicking woes have extended to their other kickers as well, with Frans Steyn, Ruan Pienaar and Johan Goosen, who kicked at 86% in Super Rugby but missed with two from two attempts at Loftus, all failing to consistently hit the mark. Steyn and Goosen have, admittedly, tried a number of long-range pots, while Goosen also battled severe bruising on his planting foot at the weekend. Koen says Pienaar is likely to take the kicks against the Blacks at Soccer City.

He is also confident their success in this facet of play will improve over time.

‘[The goal-kicking] has been more disappointing than worrying,’ he said. ‘But it gives me confidence that a guy like Peter Grant, whom I’ve been working with since 2005 at the Stormers, was consistently one of the best in Super Rugby. It says I’m on the right track, but it is a process. It will take time to establish a relationship of trust. I want to get to the place where if one of our goal-kickers is struggling, I’ll be able to make immediate changes. I’m not there yet.’

    Please just give the guy a break! He can rest and regain form in next year’s SR comp, even though he wont be one of our top 10s!

  • 2.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    Why is Koen kicking coach?????

    Why didn’t Meyer get Vlok Cilliers, the guy who coached Morne when he was a 90$% kicker??

    Koen was an average tactical kicker, and a slightly above average place kicker. I’m not sure why he’s there.

  • 3.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @Jeez-1:

    I just loved how Meyer said Morne needed a rest, and then played him in every test.

    His player management has been dodgy to say the least. JJ E and Daniels also spring to mind.

  • 4.abwc066: Reply to this comment

    Never achieved above 80% in a series? I find that surprising. If that is indeed the case he should have been dropped ages ago. I would expect Dan Carter to regularly do 80% plus. Surely the best kicker in SA should be able to achieve that and should be in the bok team, either at flyhalf or fullback.

  • 5.benjamin: Reply to this comment

    Since HM took over, our kickers have been about as accurate as a cumshot. All signs point to Louis Koen.

  • 6.RL: Reply to this comment

    I say leave him out of the year end tour – let him rest … let him rest for all furure test matches cause he will not be missed.

  • 7.abwc066: Reply to this comment

    Eesh, now Pienaar will kicking and Morne will be back at the end of the year as flyhalf. If that is indeed the case you can kiss the next WC goodbye.

    @RL-6:

    Agree, EOYT is the time to give your golden boy some time at 10.

    I still think Elton will be better utilized at the Stormers by the way :)

  • 9.CharlesM: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-2: I suppose he couldn’t get another Bull on the coaching team. Having said that, Meyer should get Vlok in to work with Morne: obviously the 2 have developed a good working relationship over time. Koen can’t change Morne’s kicking style etc. When MS is back with the Bulls he can’t revert back to his previous style (I hope I’m making sense) of Koen. It will simply confuse MS

  • 13.Puma: Reply to this comment

    So Koen thinks that Morne may be re-installed sooner than we expect? WHAT? WE have 3 world class fhs and they all 22 years and under and we must still consider having Morne at fh? Move on please Meyer. Don’t go back to Morne. Back Goosen or Jantjies as those are the fhs that he seems to be backing right now. We also have Lambie. Please we should have moved on from Morne in 2010.

    Elton.

  • 15.Puma: Reply to this comment

    Koen should leave and bring in Braam Van Straaten. Think he was Elton’s kicking coach for a bit last year and Lambie’s also O’Conner from Oz. For now not sure who is Elton’s kicking coach, as he is kicking more over than any other. Also Goosen kicked just about all over in Super Rugby, who is Goosen’s kicking coach at Cheetahs? We need to be looking at those kicking coaches not Koen.

  • 16.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @Puma-13:

    Morne should have been dropped for the 2011 WC.

    I know he kicked well there, but Bryce aside, I think we might have taken Oz if we had Butch at 10. And Bizzie at 2. And Hougie at 11.

    But we’ll never know.

  • 17.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @Puma-15:

    Spot on.

    This a typically example of a Bok coach picking who he works well with, instead of who works well with the players.

    If your 1st choice 10 is from the bloody Mpumalanga Puma’s, you consider the Puma’s kicking coach. It makes sense.

    Or even don’t have a place kicking coach, rather leave that to the local unions. I really don’t think we need a full time kicking coach, maybe an advisor (like Braam), but not a coach.

  • 18.CharlesM: Reply to this comment

    @Puma-15: I know Elton changed his kicking style for a while (sometime early last year I think) but it didn’t work. Therefore he went back to the “old” style and voila he is kicking extremely well again.
    A Bok kicking coach can’t really do much to the kickers’ styles IMO. He can perhaps suggest a few subtle changes at most, but I agree with your point about the coaches at the unions – they are the ones doing the hard / good work.

  • 19.CharlesM: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-17: An advisor yes, but a full-time kicking coach is a bit of a waste of money

  • 20.Puma: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-16: Peter wanted to play Lambie. The reason he went on the away tour as fh in Tri-Nations last year. Lambie was great even great in a 3rd rate Bok team that was sent. Then they came back and somehow it was Morne AGAIN! My feeling it was Matfield and Fourie du Preez having a say there, as we can see their coach still pulling the strings for Morne. Unbelievable. The very reason Lambie missed out since 2010 from playing fh. Missed talent there for sure. Now he is shoved to fb. So really don’t want to see these other youngsters getting messed about. Meyer must back Goosen and Elton who he has for FH.

    @CharlesM-18: I know when Elton had Braam coaching him he started kicking superbly. So did O’Conner and Lambie last year before picked up a hand injury before we play Saders in London. Lambie was slotting just about all over, he said it was the coaching of Braam. Felt like he could not miss, I remember him saying. So said O’Conner and Elton. We should be looking to bring in Braam. Right now Elton is our best goal kicker.

  • 23.Puma: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-17: Feel the same. We just need Braam from time to time to correct the kicking.

  • 24.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @Puma-20:

    Ja, we’ve missed a trick with Lambie.

    I still think he’s better than Elton, although Elton now as the inside lane because he’s been playing 10 and only 10.

    I don’t like Lambie at 15 (the Sharks have Ludik) and Boks should be using Aplon. Plum has said Lambie will now be a 10, and only a 10, so next year will provide more answers.

    Either way, with Goosen, Lmbie and Elton, Morne should get no where near the Bok jersey.

  • 25.The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food: Reply to this comment

    @Puma-20: Matfield (when he captained the Boks on the EOYT 2010) was the reason Lambie didn’t get a start at 10. I recall reading an article about this thing – and the journalist clearly said that Matfield as captain put a spanner in the works.
    Which is why I found it very interesting that Frans Steyn, on rejoining the Boks for the WC last year, said clearly in an article that he was ‘looking out for Lambie’, as he (Steyn) had experienced some serious bullying from the senior Bulls players in Jake’s WC squad in 2007 – those who felt he didn’t deserve to be there, and that Johan Roets did.

    Matfield and du Preez ran SA rugby mate…….Spies, Morne and a few others, were the direct beneficiaries.

    Hell on tv a few weeks back, Matfield had the utter cheek to call Pierre Spies WORLD CLASS (and how the Boks are missing him and his experience). That about tells me all I need to know…

    @The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-25: @The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-114: hehehehehehe Q&A with HM

    Armand asked:Good morning Sir

    I have to say I am very impressed by your undertaking of this Q & A! Much criticism and questions have been directed towards your current coaching and selection methods.

    Do you feel that this criticism is truly unfair and unfounded, or did you make a few mistakes on the tour that if given the chance, would be rectified by playing other players in certain positions, especially referring to Morne and perhaps giving Pat a few more minutes?

    Good luck for the weekend and rest assured that the Bokke and yourself will have all the backing needed to make a success of this team!!H

    Heyneke Meyer answered:

    One thing I’ve come to realise is that it’s impossible to please everyone all of the time, and I always look at myself first to see where I could improve.

    However, I will always listen to fair criticism and want what is best for the team and South Africa – it’s not about me. Then it’s always easier to look back at things that happened and decisions that have been made. I am only human and do make mistakes, like anyone else, butwhen I change things, like today when I announced that Johan Goosen will be at flyhalf and not Morne, it’s not an admission of a possible mistake, but rather doing what is best for the team.

    I select players on a series of good performances over a period of time and one or two bad performances by a player do not make him a bad player. As coach, it’s my job to work with players who have lost confidence to regain it and be in a position to deliver their best yet again for the Springboks. I also have a long term plan with certain players and will not change my vision for them, and on the short term you can’t chop and change every week just because of performance. You will always migrate towards your long term goals.

    long-term players, anyone? :D

    i’ll start Arno Botha.

    @londonshark-24: Missed talent for sure at fh. Should have been playing fh for Boks since eoyt 2010. Pity.

    Well at least we still have him at Sharks at fh. He was our first choice this year too until injury. We have to remember that Lambie played 8 games this year at fh for Sharks. Many of those Fred sat on the bench, or played scrummie. Pat only started at fb against Stormers when we needed both there. Then came the England tests and he picked up a injury. Then Fred played all games at fh, which is understandable. Lambie will again be our first choice fh next year. Play him there all the time and he will be even better. I rate him highly at fh. One of our best. SA right now have 3 brilliant fhs. Morne should never ever be considered. They will do to Goosen and Elton what they done to Lambie if they keep in insisting selecting Morne ahead of the talented youngsters.

    Personal opinion mate. I think one area where Lambie has a serious edge is upstairs. He’s mentally very cool, and makes very few errors.

    Elton does tend to have a couple brain farts every now and again. But to his credit, he’s worked on this, and is getting better every day.

    But like I said, personal opinion.

  • 34.RL: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-24: see Elton has the balls to tell all of his coaches that he is a 10 and will only play 10 or not at all – Pat is the little Lamb that tells his coaches that he is not sure what his best position is and that he wouldn’t mind being selected as a fullback.

    Well little Lambster you asked to be stuffed around all over the park so you will be stuffed around like the utility player you sell yourself as – do not blame blame Plum and do no blame Heineken for treating you like the utiliy you are.

    Nuff said we have the Goose and Elton, proper 10′s who demand to play 10, who will be the tip of the Bok sward for the next 8 years.

  • 35.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @Puma-30:

    I’m glad you mentioned that.

    These idiots on here forget that Lambie was the Sharks 10, and only moved to 15 after injury to allow Freddie to settle. And because the plan to play Freddie at 9 backfired (he’s a kak kak scrummie).

    If Lambie stayed fit, Freddie would have warmed the bench all year long.

  • 36.pompies2: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-33: Fair enough. BTW. My flyhalf at the start of the RC would’ve been Lambie. RIght now, not so sure. I think his mental state might do him no favors. Definitely can’t discard him though.

  • 37.John Galt: Reply to this comment

    Glad HM called up Mapoe. He has been the form 13 and probably backline player in the CC.

    @The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-25: more Q&A

    B van Wyk asked:More Heyneke,

    Almal praat oor “off-loads” soos die All Blacks en die Sharks dit doen. Ons sien dit nie sommer in Springbok rugby nie en wil net weet wat is jou gevoel ivm dit? Gaan ons dit binnekort sien of is stampkar rugby n beter opsie? Groete

    Heyneke Meyer answered:

    Iets wat min mense weet, is dat ons meer ge-“offload” het as die All Blacks in Dunedin. Dit gaan oor die regte tyd en die regte plek om die “offload” te speel.

    Op hierdie vlak moet ons die spelers toerus met die vaardighede en kennis om te weet wanneer dit aan is en wanneer nie. Hoe hoër die vlak van rugby, hoe minder spasie is daar op die veld en dit maak effektiewe offloading moeiliker.

    Jy sal ook sien dat langer spelers, soos Sonny Bill, is van nature beter offloaders, want hulle kry hulle hande deur die tackle. Ek glo beslis nie aan die sogenaamde stampkar-rugby nie (van my vorige spanne het van die meeste driee in hul onderskeie kompetisies gedruk), maar as goeie afrigter moet jy die spelers leer om die regte besluite te neem en dit kom met tyd. Onthou, ons is nog maar nie eens twee maande saam as ‘n span nie.

    So many retards here.

    Goosen is getting his chance, and so will Jaintjes. What is the point of throwing Morne Steyn away when he has the kind of experience he does? We know he has BMT he has shown it before, and he has also shown some real ability at times too.

    Give the guy a break. Meyer has dropped him and we have two exciting youngsters coming through who are going to be playing. Meyer always said Goosen was the future and part of his plans, yet twits on here keep suggesting Meyer will drop him first chance he gets?

    And to back them up if they get injured or fall out of form, we have Morne Steyn who will probably start coming right.

    All this talk about Bulls bias needs to stop. He started two Bulls on saturday.

    No, Im not a bulls fan, Im a lions supporter.

    Some some common sense please people.

    Most of the people complaining about provincial bias are mostly guilty of it themselves. The only people who are biased are the idiot fans who for some reason seem to think they have a bigger swinging **** when their sides players represent the boks.

    I want the boks to win, dont care what provinces they come from. And for all the talk of Aplon and De jongh, they sure as hell could not get over the whitewash this season either with any regularity.

  • 45.Mapsticks: Reply to this comment

    Ive been following this sight closely for the last few months, at times I lmao for the banter, sometimes I respect really insightful comments, but then, at times i get so annoyed with the mentality of South African fans. Morne has proofed to be a match winner, a man that can step up at when needed. However, he’s form is gone, call it fatigue, call it pressure, call it what you want! He will however be back, because he is that good. Remember when Naas was stripped of kicking duties and given to johann heunis? Remember Percy? Why cant we just get behind morras, help build his confidence back in stead of totally destroying a loyal servant to springbok rugby. When on form, he is the best kicker in the world. He is a dropkick specialist. Undoubtably goose is our 10, but a confident morne on the bench will allow to change the gameplan totally when required and when goose has a bad day. Common morras, get back to form and kick us to victory when we need it most, ala loftus 2009!

    @theOracle-42: During the last few games. He was not that great against the Brumbies or Canes. Those were the first two games he played at fh, before that it he played scrummie or on the bench. Once Lambie got back from injury there he was left on the bench against the Blues. Lambie started and was great and every game after that. Chiefs, Force, Landers Lambie was mom there. We do forget the games that Fred was not great. He was great from the Bulls game. Fred was outstanding in the Bulls game and Reds and again against Stormers.

    @Kiefpant-44:
    “…Morne start coming right..” You are talking as if he was once good and just struggling on form. The only thing he was ever good at was kicking.

    Last weekends game was the first time in many seasons where I saw our back line do anything. Previously it had been all up to our forwards and kicking penalties to get any points.

    The reason people think he will drop Goosen was because Meyer irrationally kept playing Morne for so long despite Goosen being on the bench and Jantjies being available.

    @Transformation-54:

    Not really.

    The Sharks were very thin at 15 when Lambie came back. Ludik only found form very very late in the comp.

    It was more about having a good 15 (and a good 10), rather than just a good 10.

  • 59.Puma: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-52: Jordaan is fantastic at 13.

    Not sure how injury prone really. He played brilliant for the U20′s jwc against England. His tackling there was ferocious. It was that commitment where he picked up the hammie injury that he had for a very long time. Super skills and bloody fast, also his defence is from the top drawer. I think Meyer might over look him too because of his size. What a pity. Just pleased he is at the Sharks. How was that ball he won on Friday night? Just taking out their hands at will and off for a superb try? He is a special talent for sure. Combus Reinach is another great talent for next year. Our backline is looking very sharp. Can’t wait for Super Rugby.

    This is just team speak by Koen, being supportive of one of his charges.

    It’s up to Maverick and Goose to make the spot their own. If they do then Morne will have played his last test for SA. If not then he has a shot at getting back.

    Time will tell….

    Jordaan could be a brilliant outside center and should definitely be considered in the near future. If not at 13, then on the wing potentially.

    JP Pietersen is also a shout for outside center.

    Jan Serfontein should also get a look at inside center soon, although Frans Steyn is a fantastic player when he has a flyhalf other than Morne Steyn.

    Jean De Villiers days should be numbered. He is still good and made some excellent captaincy decisions on Saturday, but it is very nearly time to start giving a new youngster 15 minutes at outside center every game. A succession plan is needed soon, otherwise we will pay for it later.

  • 76.Ho3n3r: Reply to this comment

    You must be crazy to think Lambie is better than Steyn, Goosen or Jantjies. He got his chance in the Tri Nations last year, and was found seriously wanting. I am wondering where all the hype started – probably all the Sharks fanboys.

    Goosen and Jantjies are the future.

    But do not discount Morne – if he plays the way he did in 2009, there is no better test flyhalf in the country. And no, a test flyhalf’s only requirement isn’t only to run around and look spectacular.

  • 77.Ho3n3r: Reply to this comment

    Agreed on Paul Jordaan – he is looking the real deal.

    Much better than overrated JJ here at the Bulls. Most Bulls supporters do not even rate him.

    Look how many tries the Bulls leaked when he was starting. Coincidence? I think not.

    Jantjies to play for Stormers in 2013

    October 2 2012 at 12:14pm
    By Ashfak Mohamed

    Comment on this story
    iol spt oct2 Jantjies

    Newly capped Springbok flyhalf and hot star Elton Jantjies has signed a loan agreement to play for the Stormers in next year’s Super Rugby tournament.

    Jantjies, who made his Test debut in the past weekend’s 31-8 win over Australia, has a clause in his current contract with the Lions that allows him to play Super Rugby for another franchise if the Johannesburg-based team is relegated from the competition.

    The Cape Times has established that Jantjies has finally decided to come to Cape Town next year and play for the Stormers, after he was also courted by the Sharks.

    WP and Stormers coach Allister Coetzee said yesterday that while he had not yet received confirmation that the 22-year-old would be joining his team next year, he was hopeful that it could happen.

    Coetzee had a smile on his face yesterday when asked for comment by the Cape Times. “I have not yet received a signed loan agreement from Elton. I will only believe it when the papers are signed and I have it in front of me.

    “Elton can only come on loan to us, as he is contracted with the Lions until the end of 2013. But it would be positive news if he has now decided to come here.

    “There hasn’t been much talk between us and Elton lately, as he is obviously busy with the Springboks at the moment. I hope to announce all our signings in two weeks’ time.”

    Jantjies’s arrival in the Cape next year would be a significant boost to their chances of going those two steps further and winning the Super Rugby title after finishing as losing semi-finalists for the last two years. The Stormers also reached the 2010 final, losing to the Bulls.

    Peter Grant is likely to miss out on the first few rounds of next year’s tournament once more due to his club commitments in Japan, and so Jantjies will be even more valuable to the Stormers.

    While Grant has been a solid and consistent performer for the Cape side in the last few years, Jantjies could provide that attacking spark that is desperately needed to complement the superb defence that has proved to be the best in the competition.

    Coetzee is currently experiencing a flyhalf crisis with Western Province in the Currie Cup, with Kurt Coleman and Gary van Aswegen out for the season due to injury and Burton Francis having joined the SWD Eagles. Incumbent Demetri Catrakilis is the only recognised pivot in the WP squad, but he will join the Southern Kings next year.

    The Stormers have already signed young Lions and Baby Bok lock Ruan Botha on a two-year deal from next year, and are also chasing a number of other Lions stars such as Springboks Jaco Taute, Pat Cilliers and Bandise Maku, lock Michael Rhodes and hooker Callie Visagie.

    In Simon Cowels reality shows, they always pick someone kuk to make it into the finals. It adds drama, gets people emotional. The coaches seem to be using morne to engineer some emotion.

    At flyhalf, we have 3 good options in the squard, excluding morne. If we give a position in the squard to morne, we miss out on creating depth in another position. Who plays 12 if jdv goes down?

    Glad that Jantjies is going to the Stormers and not the Sharks… Had he gone to the sharks and become a regular starter at flyhalf, we would be in danger Lambie to a foreign club.

    Same goes for Burden at the moment… Great player, but plays behind Bismarck. Will never be a regular starter with Bissie there. I wouldn’t be surprised if he up and moved abroad…. And he would still be eligible to play for another country too!!

    Losing players to foreign clubs (and national teams) is a huge problem for South Africa at the moment.

    But certainly Taute, Cilliers and Rhodes would all lend real value to Stormers squad imo….

    Its about quality depth as we constantly find out in the Super 15…..

    A player like Jantjes is enough to make me want to go buy a season ticket….

    Now we just need AC to buy into a more expansive game plan and then we in for a very interesting Super 15…..

    Reckon the Sharks will be the most powerful SA Team on paper….but we wont be too far behind…

    I see Morne is being blended in again, this is BS we need maximum time on the field for Goose and Jantjies .. They will learn plenty EOYT.

    The issue of Captain is more pressing, is Strauss the official VC ? I thinK Biz will do ok and it may add some maturity to his red mist moments ..

  • 102.pompies2: Reply to this comment

    @PissAnt-92: If Taute makes the loan move to CT, is this an admission that the return of Joe P wasn’t as good as it seemed?

    I’ve stated this ad nauseum that Joe P (mini Percy) isn’t super rugby quality. I called him a vanilla player. Thus far, he’s done nothing except to enhance my sentiments. However some here thought it was master stroke to bring back a player who wasn’t quite good enough to make it in the french leagues. go figure.

    @Ho3n3r-76:

    Lambie was thrown in against the All Blacks with a 2nd string team around him.

    Is that what you call ‘getting his chance’? Come on boet, think before you post.

    But all this arguing is pointless. Next year we’ll have Goosen, Lambie and Elton all starting for good teams (well, the Cheetahs are okay).

    Then we can talk.

    By the way, Goosen is number 1, I want to see who the backup is going to be after 2013 Super Comp.

  • 105.pompies2: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-100: I pay close attention. His game v Ireland U20 was not good. His play in last years U20 was average. He has some deficiencies in his basic ballskills. Admittedly this has improved thanks to his involvement with the SA 7′s, But he’s still far off a international 13. His strength is his strike running. Cut this off and he doesn’t any supplemental skills.

    What’s you take other that being caught up in his hype.

    @Puma-13: Of course. Morne’s mommy phoned and k@k’d out Louis after the game. She said she is going to send ‘Oom Steyn’ there with the sjambok if they dont get Morne back into a jersey as soon as possible.

    @pompies2-105:

    Ha ha, boet, NO ONE was good in that first game against Ireland. Not one player.

    I never said he was an international 13 yet, but after next year’s comp (if he stays injury free), I think he’ll be very close to Bok selection.

    But ja look, he can improve. I’m counting on it.

    Lambie, Steyn, Jordaan, JP, Mvovo, Ludik. Sharks backs are looking good.

  • 110.Dusky: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-104: We are in a transitional period. Goosen is not Nr 1 yet. He does look the goods, but there is a way to go before he stamps his name on the Bok Nr 10 jersey.

    From my perspective I would agree that he currently looks the most promising.

    @pompies2-105:

    On his skills, I think he’s very strong on defense, and reads the game very well. His positional play was outstanding for the baby boks in the playoffs. His strength in the tackle is also top notch. He was the only player to threaten the Chiefs in the Super Rugby final.

    Then there’s his pace. The way he pulled away from Aplon against WP during the Currpe Cup was impressive. You can’t coach speed.

  • 114.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    True.

    But Goosen does have the inside lane, no doubt about that.

    @londonshark-114: Yep so did Jaco Vd. Westhuisen. Can you recall the HUGE boohaai made about Jaco being the next messiah at flyhalf ?

    Lets give Goosen his chances and remain respectful of the fact that there are other players that could easily have done what he did this past weekend. It was a good victory for the Boks (in a very unusual scenario with the Aussies running out of reserves), but I am not joining the sheep baaa baaa baaa’ing about how great Goosen played. He played well – nothing that stamps 10 on his back in green and gold.

    We need a goal kicker by the way. In modern rugby where the strength vs. strength contests are going to be so close – we need a flyhalf that is able to convert his goal kicks. I can give you an example of very important tournaments (like a Lions tour) that South Africa would have lost if it weren’t for a goal kick !

  • 118.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @pompies2-115:

    I hear you. Yeah look, he’s no playmaker. But don’t forget, he is a winger who has moved to 13.

    He’s not trying to be a 12 or a 10.

    I guess it depends on what you think the key skills of a 13 should be.

  • 119.Dusky: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-114: For that reason I would like to see Elton Jantjes given more time at 10. He is an accurate goal kicker and I believe can bring just as much to the game as Goosen.

    I am not joining the Goosen discipleship yet mate. He is good, talented kid – the new Bok 10 ? Not yet.

  • 120.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @Dusky-117:

    To be fair to Goosen, he was injured (still is). So it does hurt every time he kicks. Hell, Koen said he hadn’t kicked for poles once in 2 weeks before the Aus game.

    His kicking will come right.

    Jaco (to his credit) was very good in 2004. Then he lost his marbles.

    Elton still needs to prove himself at Super Rugby level I’m afraid. Maybe not his fault (playing for the Lions), but still, next year will provide answers.

    @londonshark-120: Well that’s exactly my point. Before I sign up for a membership in the church of Johan Goosen, I need a bit more evidence. That’s all I am saying.

    He improves his kicking, he is looking good. At least he ran the ball a few times, not like Morne ‘let me kick it away before I get tackled’ Steyn.

  • 123.Seismic: Reply to this comment

    What are the chances of Jaoo Taute taking longer kicks?? I know he has done for the Lions, but the management might feel it is putting too much pressure on him. Pienaar has a fairly long range at altitude it must be said, hopefully he is accurate on Saturday. Lambie could be an option if he plays instead of Kirchner.

  • 124.Dusky: Reply to this comment

    @londonshark-121: I dont agree. Jantjes has done just as much to deserve a shot as Goosen. You can’t judge Jantjes by his Super rugby team’s performance otherwise there would be no Goosen in the team either.

    Look – I am not arguing with you buddy. You’re sold – I am not. Lets leave it at that.

  • 125.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @Dusky-122:

    I hear you.

    Potentially though (talent wise), Goosen has more talent in his pinky toe than Lambie and Elton combined.

    @Big Hit-139: I could hear Loftus humming like a bee hive after Goosen missed his first two kicks. I can just imagine what was being said in the stands because you see – at Loftus a flyhalf must kick.

    What the crowd might have failed to realise is that Goosen was immeasurably better than Steyn in open play. I do agree though that a Bok flyhalf has to kick 80 to 85% or there must be someone else on the field that can – finish and klaar.

    At the moment, we cant find a player that can do that it seems.

  • 144.londonshark: Reply to this comment

    @Dusky-138:

    Not really. Goosen has kicked penalties at school from 70m out and unlocked Super Rugby defenses. Your buddies unborn son hasn’t (yet).

    And kicking stats are very different from a wingers (or an 8th mans).

    But let’s just let 2013 decide for us. :)

    Take into account, that Goosen was injured in round 8 or 9, and was leading the points table by some margin at that stage. His kicking % was 3rd overall, which is remarkable considering he took anything within 60m.

    A flyhalf has stats that literally define a game. Just ask Morne.

    He cries before a ball is kicked in the game and then when asked to kick it between the uprights he fluffs it 100%, so what does that say about the druggie and his ability to handle big match pressure.

    I’m not sold by Goosen just yet. People were comparing him to Carter or Wilkinson at that age. He is definitely no where near that good! He is a talented player and will take time to become a great flyhalf, but will he be a ‘rock star’ flyhalf, I seriously doubt it. I still think HM should have started to introduce Lambie at 10 during the England series. The last 35 mins of each game. Lambie would have been ready for the Championship and with two full games against the Puma’s, we would be seeing a return for our support. We can all argue our bollocks of here – but the truth is we’ll never know for sure who is better… Lambie or Goosen. I guess moving forward, all I can hope for is that Lambie at least plays 15 ahead of Mr Average, Krusty. Sorry Zane, but I hope you stayed injured. Lambie deserves a full 80 mintues!

    Also Taute. Uhmmm did anyone actually watch him play?!? He was rubbish on attack, absolutely trash for hands and I wonder if he actually broke the gainline??! What were his stats in terms of meters gained? He did his job on defence, but you would expect anyone in at international level to defend your channel. No big hits or steals or hot steps or anything ‘amazing’. He was just ordinary. Did he deserve that start ahead of De Jongh – come on, be bloody serious, NO WAYS!!

    And now with FSteyn gone, he’s a permanent fixture?! Sad day for SA rugby. For all HM’s moaning about experience, he takes an inexperienced Taute ahead of an more experienced De Jongh?!? That’s piss poor! Really is.

    I don’t even think we played that well on Saturday. We played a K A K Aus team. That wasn’t a real team and we couldn’t even smash them. They even scored when they had 13 people on the field and we could only put 7 points on pass them when they had 14 men and playing ‘props for wings’ (not really but you get my drift).

    We will see on Saturday. The annoying thing is we always seem to find an extra gear against the AB’s… Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take a win as ugly as William Dafoe, in way or manner against the AB’s, but – just imagine a settled backline with talented players.

    Small steps I’m told. The forwards are looking great. Made the change at 10, now we just need a 12 and 15… Oh did I forget to say I think Jean is pants??! :-)

    I am not a Taute fan and rather impartial whether he plays or not but he didn’t have “trash for hands”. He dropped his first ball and from there did well. Take your blinkers off (if you are not white) or stop your pathetic pandering (if you are white).

    As for Goosen “not being nearly that good as Carter and Wilkinson at 20″ on what do you base that? At 20 just about all a player can do is show exceptional promise which is exactly what Goosen has done. What else is there to compare? Does this mean he will scale equal heights, no, but he is off to the right start.

    Keep on talking because this is my point. BEE is not about redress, it is about revenge. You guys don’t want equality in SA you want to punish whites and ideally eradicate them. This is why whites need to reject the marxist-liberal delusion that they have been brainwashed with and start protecting their children’s and groups future.

    And I would say in those 350 years we have brought you the trappings of civilization that you are now happily taking advantage off. You are welcome.

    The reason for the that is for one of two reasons.

    If you are white it is because you find the truth uncomfortable. You don’t want to think about. You have been brainwashed to believe you must reject pride in your own identity, history and future. Deep down you know but it is so hard to forgo the cozy social status of being seen as “PC”. It is hard to make the unpopular choice no matter how beneficial in the long run.

    In my own words…

    The type of person that forgoes his own identity in an ill-advised effort to not offend any other group in the world even to the extent where his own children will suffer punishment and eventual extinction. It is a place of self hate masquerading as enlightenment, kinda of like a religious cult but without the supernatural bits.

    It is a mutated form of liberalism where we deny that group dynamics exists in politics, economy and in society. It focuses on the “individual” in a very duplicitious sense. You can be an individual only as long as you do not argue or object to what the state and its propaganda tells you to believe. In this case that you must reject your group identity. That is the marxist angle “to submit to the mass”, “to squander free thought”, “to not question”. Any objection is punished economically and socially, the latter being the most effective part.

    What whites must realize is no one else in the world believes this fairytale. BEE is a prime example.

    Well marxist-liberal is maybe better named cultural-marxism. Because otherwise people place too much emphasis on the liberal part which is essentially a grotesque mutilation of its original ideals.

    BEE is either wrong or right. It is racist and should be repealed and should definitely not be accepted by the rest of the Western world in light of their hooha over Apartheid. Whether I kill one person or 20 it is still murder.

    Life and death or me… that is a common sort of statement and grave error. Yes, I can do what I want and raise my children how I will but neither they nor my children live in a vacuum. Their futures are partly determined by their circumstances and if the group they belong to collectively take actions that is to our detriment it is very much a problem. That is why people like Sharkspedigree is really the great problem; not the ANC or d.arkies in general. The people really hurting us are the self deluded fanatics in our own midsts. They are laying the ground work for our social and cultural implosion.

    If you bring it up in a socially setting you are also bound to have someone say “but this is not the place”, “they don’t want to think about it” and other head in the sand comments. And that is exactly the problem, most of us whites know there is a serious problem but they are afraid of admitting it because they don’t want to be called “racist” or too lose their cozy PC rep.

    But unless we talk about it, unless we accept the reality of the situation and say no we will succumb. I am not talking about drunken braai talks about the goffels and how k8k they are. That achieves nothing. I am talking about discussing our own identity, that it is important, that it is worth preserving for the future. That it is important that our historical homelands are protected. That we reject racist laws like BEE. There are far too many whites that tacitly go with it. If we can’t even be indignant about it here in SA then why the hell would our cousins in the rest of the Western world give a toss?

    BEE is meant to be about economic distribution, its an incredibly complex question, because there has to be someway to redress the past, not just with laws giving open access in theory only, but in practice – since all of us benefitted from it – this is the redress. All things considered, its a small price to pay. You cant expect ppl to compete on an equal footing when they’ve been handicapped for generations. ANC makes the BEE laws, since they are the first democratically elected party in SA’s history, no-one else.

    @cab-228:

    Firstly, redistribution should be based on need. There is zero need for any racial wording. They could’ve couched it in socio-economical terms, i.e. certain thresholds of parental income, schooling level, designated residential areas (some ideas are better than others but you get my drift).

    Why are rich businessmen’s kids getting BEE preference – where is his “historic” disadvantage”? Why is a white kid with absent father and alcoholic mother not being preference – where is his “historic” advantage?

    No, my friend, BEE is couched in racial terms because it is not about redress. It is about disenfranchising the white group, plain and simple. Why else is the ANC attempting to remove Afrikaans as an official language? Why else is Stellenbosch under pressure to give class in English or black students encouraged to go there when they can’t speak to the language? Why is there even talk among government minister about why white neighbourhoods/schools are not integrating? What does it matter so long as everyone has accommodation and education?

    Because it is not about redress, it is about breaking us down as a group, eradicating us. It is revenge, not redistribution.

    And I am sure you have heard the term “democracy is tyranny by the majority”. It is ironic how the same BEE supporters also support protection laws for minorities in other Western countries. The self delusion is maddening! BEE will never end here until whites have been completely impoverished or removed as a distinct group. And then you think they will implement protection? *lol*

    @STBUR-245: That makes no sense. The barbarism of apartheid was based on race, so redress in this instance wouldn’t apply to poor whites, as they did not have the same barriers to financial success as black people did.

    @willievz-247: Groom Taute to become a specialist fullback for the long term. Have Aplon in the mix until he is ready. And then bring paul Jordaan into the mix at 13. We have a lot of options and very exciting times ahead for the boks. Rhule looks like a good prospect too. Let’s just hope that we implement specialist and not have the likes of Lambie filling in for fullback here and there.

    A group of 5 men and women are standing around. A person walks up and two guys beat him to the ground. They drag him away, the other 3 follow but do nothing, and the original two drown the victim. The court will find all 5 men and women guilty.

    You are partaking in group self delusion about the realities of group dynamics and how our group (whites) are brainwashed to believe race doesn’t matter while the rest of the world use those group identities to garner special benefits. They are taught our history, identities and future does not matter as long as you don’t offend anyone. By going along with it you are guilty of the eventual genocide (yes, it will take a few generations but it happens nonetheless) and intervening discrimination they are already suffering.

    It is the same as any person that voted for Labour during the last few decades are responsible for the Pakistani paedophile gangs that exclusively targetted white English girls. We are talking thousands of victims. Groups conflict and the poorer one will always be more jealous and lash out at his so called “oppressor”.

    @Marty-253: Lots of talent there, but I would like to pick a back 3 as combination rather than 3 individuals.

    A combination of Habana, JPP and A.Coetzee ticks many boxes. Coetzee adds a left boot to the mix (ok, so does Aplon) but Coetzee for me is more unpredictable than Aplon, has better distribution skills, decision-making skills and kicking skills (a former 10) and can attack the closer channels more effectively.

    Political Correctness is marxism in action. Take England for example. Mass immigration has been catastrophic in terms of rape, murder, riots, increased low-level labour problems, terrorism etc. Yet if anyone dares question that mass immigration might not be good for the locals they are immediately lampooned in the media as being Nazi’s and racists, regardless of what facts support their view. That is marxism in action. The stifling of descent to the party line.

    Very emotive. Pol Pot Khmer Rouge was barbarism. Stalin’s Great Purge was barbarism. Hitler’s Concentration Camps was barbarism. Compared to that Apartheid was a bad idea. Else why don’t we talk about the 10ks of racial farm murders? Has that not been redress enough? I don’t see you shedding any tears there.

    The white child that grows up in that broken home has the same barriers. No education, no role model, no financial support. How is that different?

    On what ground is a rich black businessman’s child disadvantaged?

Not a specilaist fullback, no future at 10 with Goosen and Jantjies there. Strictly speaking he is a waste of a resource.
    What do you reckon – does Heyneke have what it take to build the correct long term combinations?

    BEE is a form of protectionism, which is what every tribe with an identity has done since they year dot, look after their own, its not completely fair, but one can definitely see the argument for it in the SA context such is the extent of ppl being disadvantaged. White’s are hurting, the party’s come to an end, there’s a re-balamcing and a reckoning, not just between white and black, but east and west, thats the nature of it – sooner we forget about all this **** and create a more sustainable fkn economic system where there arent winner or losers, the better, then ppl can focus on the **** they enjoy doing rather than slogging away like braindead robots trying to get ahead.

    @cab-268:

    Ah two old cultural-marxist chestnuts that they use to confuse the sheeple with.

    (1) US = mass immigration. Yeah, dude, mass European immigration. The tensions was a lot less due to being closer in genetic and cultural terms.

    Land was far more abundant and it happened over several hundred years as opposed to several decades.

    Then of course there was severe internal violence between communities during those immigration years where they settled close to each other (Irish vs Italians for example). Oftenhowever different groups settled in separate parts of the US, i.e. in their own communities, such as Germans/Scandinavians in the mid-west. Now they are settling on top of each other.

    The two situations are like night and day to each other. There is no logical basis for your argument, just a tenuous connection between two distant and unrelated time period.

    (2) Homogenous societies = bad. Since when? That vast majority of people everywhere in the world automatically live amongst there own. Look in any area in the world where there are immigrants, they live in their own area.

    This is a classic brainwash element that whites have under gone; reject your identity, it is bad and boring. BS dude. I love being white. I love living amongst white people. I am certainly not bored. People have lived happy, fulfilling lives for thousands of years with only their own people.

    Stop projecting your likes as some sort of moral imperative.

    But this raises the question, are you white? I can’t remember.

    There is no need to live in a laager. That is just your stereotype brainwashing showing up again. However, pride in ones history, identity and future is important. As is insisting that racist legislation like BEE should be scrapped.

    Not a single opinion, one way or the other, is expressed by me about the “constitution”, “BEE” or “marxist-liberal ” (whatever that is meant to be).

    Yet, like a stuck record, it is written twice in separate posts(187 & 212) ” You’re still a racist for supporting BEE.” . On what is that then based if not pure lies?
    Where is the logic in that claim? How does that defective brain function, or more correctly, dysfunction?
    Further, I read that denial of BEE opportunities disenfranchises a group of people. How does not being able to make money the lazy way take your vote away from you? Mind-boggling.

Unless he’s hiding something Meyer is no better than PDivvy. He takes good players and doesn’t improve them, plenty get worse (uh, Steyn for one). Why is this?

    I say it’s beacuse he doesn’t know how to improve them. Neither did PDivvy. JW was the last coach to actually have players improve (Perce and Habana come to mind) and that was hit and miss. FFS, SA has a host of potentially great players. Can’t boneheads like Meyer see that and get the skills needed to improve these players, not simply push them in and out of the Bok team like Skop with a blow up doll. van Graan, Koen et al don’t impress me one bit.

    His 225 does not refer to ‘loser” as you infer in your 310.. He merely restates a lie he first made in his 187( my “supporting BEE” which I exposed in my 304).
    Closet racists like you only fool your fellow hypocrites and not even yourself.
