Hehehe I can see the family resemblance there…

The same thing happened to Sam his brother with the onset of Dementia towards the end…

I think he stopped taking his medication though, he has been way over the top even for him.

Yep you only have to look at the AB’s to see that the modern day winger needs all the skills of a full-back… Brian, JPP have that Hougaard’s kicking is improving and Mvovu and Rhule are being worked on in that dept… the latter 3′s positional play is also pretty far off the mark still…

Really not rocket-science… but then some aren’t the most objective nor knowledgeable…

Oh that’s just old toothless Chihuahua… he’s been tjanking out incorrect predictions and ‘coulda/woulda/shoulda’s’ for years now in between his drooling vitriol… not even worth a kick in the ribs these days…

Whatever.

It was lack of coaching mate. PdV was just not a good technical coach. He did not have a clue. C’mon – even the players said it in their autobiographies. They took over coaching. He just man managed and spin doctored.

Just give it up…

well I reckon Meyer is going to lose with playing JdV and Taute at center.. he is going to get one more fat lesson of comeuppance to his pathetic ignorant lack of any rugby ingenuity ego that he has already shown in no uncertain terms through the first year of his apprenticeship… he has fck’d up far more times than he has made good.. every time he makes a dumb selection it stuffs him straight back in his prejudicial eyes.. and yet he still hasn’t learned it yet..

Lots more…

Boks going to get fck’d up Saturday and Meyer is going to bedank

Guess what, they WON!

I think you missing the point altogether, where exactly does it say that Meyer wants him to kick? Reality is a modern day player playing anywhere in the backline should be able to kick, just like a center should be able to pass both way and a #10 be able to kick with both feet…if they want to get anywhere anyway.

Now I have seen very little of Rhule but I can only assume he can’t kick or at least can’t kick with any conviction. So let us look at a scenario where he catches the ball close to his own tryline with little support and 3 opposition players hairing down on him, would you like him to:

1. Run at the opposition because that is what he does best, get caught and either turn over the ball or give a way a penalty or;
2. Kick a woer-woer skop that may travel 5 meters either just across the sideline or even worse infield or;
3. Assess his options and punt the ball at least outside his own 25m area?

You see, learning to kick may not be about having to kick but rather having the option if needed. The thing is in the professional era he WILL be targeted if opposition knows he can’t kick and then what happens to the man.

That combo would be incredible. Good call.

the above team got nilled @ Newlands in 2008

“pdv inherited a world cup winning team” that had consistently languished at number 3 in the rankings and had never beaten new zealand with any sort of consistency.

in fact a lot of these world cup winners were either disgustingly off-form or injured in 2008 but hey it was divvy’s fault that they lost.
