Heyneke Meyer is a clown with no business coaching the Boks. It would be bad enough if he actually had decent assistant coaches to limit some of the damage he’ll do, but we don’t even have that consolation.

The best thing he ever did was bring in Todd Louden for the Bulls. Without competent support he’s got absolutely nothing as his coaching career has shown in South Africa nearly getting fired by the Bulls before Louden and at Leicster where they couldn’t get rid of him quickly enough.

The squad is atleast too string for a Strauli EOYT nightmare repeat!

I jus can’t see the Boks progressing under HM, they look so mediocre since he took over!!

boks should not be playing currie cup, they should be resting ahead of Euro tour. no need for all those injuries.

Very happy to see Mapoe and Brits there – hope they get enough time to show their worth.

I remember a time Nonu didn’t & couldn’t pass a ball for shiit, or how ordinary Kurtly Beale used to be @ fb or fh? How bout Sam whitelocks (average for an AB) all round play?

Only a handful have ever shown a vast improvement because of coaching offshore!!…Monty, same goes for Flouw, Brits, Mujati.

What the damn hell do our coaches get paid for?? Where are these structures that help build on SA strengths, if we have any.

This rot is the plot and it starts higher up top than HM.

He wreaks of injustice and the foul stench of a power drunk, absent-minded punK.

Skop put it plainly when he suggested a team is only as good as its coach.
I imagine sometimes if we swapped coaching staff with Aus/ Nzl or even Wales…
Even the great SBW needed a lil coaching and managing, a result prevalent in his ability to do more than just offload in a tackle.

Any capable coach would do wonders with the talent HM has @ his disposal but that’s probably part of the problem. He’s steering this wretched boat holding a compass perpetually fixed toward the Northern Transvaal and no fan on this blog, or any other dickk wielding site is gonna tell him which way to go!!

He is tough as nails, athletic and very, very streetwise. He and Eben would rule the world, Just Like Vic and Bakkies did.

The guy keeps throwing skew lineouts to the opposition.

Schalk Brits is by faaaaar the better option in my opinion.

both.
poms especially but now it seems the rest of uk is getting in on the act.

the problem for us is keeping guys interested once they know they are not in the springbok frame. it seems once the gys with enough talent to make an english or irish side but perhaps just not enough, or at least are up against others with the same amount of talent, to make the springbok side, then they bail for the pounds because there is little left to draw them in.

Strange dont you think.
ONly a couple of years ago you all laughed at us kiwis as we wont be able to hold our players due to the fact NZRU is not the richest club around.
We were also told that SA can keep there players as SARU has alot of money
In fact a SA poster only 2 weeks ago was saying the SARU has as much of not more money than AIG……phhhht.
What has happened?
Or are you talking about cricket and not rugby?
