298 @ grootblouBokJan:Agree 100%. But thats not the game plan, and until that changes, we won’t see these changes
@ Just For Kicks:
The only heads I would call for at this stage are Ricardo’s and Van Graan’s !
@ Just For Kicks:
What’s Mallet’s view. Would love to know. Is it possible you can summarise for me?
Bring back PDV!
Bring back Jake!
Bring back Strauli!
302 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
Yip, there is something wrong with our grunt up front….
Players or Forwards coach?
Oh, and the other thing which must change is speed of the ball behind rucks and mauls….. THAT is providing NO attacking ball, their defences are set by the time the ball is passed
Bring back Harry Viljoen!
@ Gobble_BokJan:Said the kicking game was better, but still managed to lose to a “weak” Australian side. Said there was a better passion (I disagree there), and there woulf be no harm in playing Goosen against NZ next week, as no-one is expecting Boks to win. He has been severely hobbled since his blow out last time, thats for sure!!!
@ Loosehead:
Bring back decent Rugby!
Bring back Nick Mallet!
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip, it’s not the PC thing to criticise your fellow coaches.
@ Gobble_BokJan:Mallet now justifying his Gaffie decision when he was coach. Says Gaffie couldnt tackle, Goosen can, thereofore his inclusion would be justified.
Campese makes sense.
Bring back Markgraaf!
HM shouldn’t be fired. He should just be called up in front of SARU and read the riot act.
If HM thinks Wobblies are a quality side, he is clearly delusional
Is John Williams still alive? If he is, is he able to travel to NZ?
317 @ Just For Kicks: this is a shit Wallaby side.
Happy birthday, GBS. Your 48th year could be a long and arduous one!!!!!!
320 @ Just For Kicks:
My 49th year…. I am 48 today
Now I suppose to cap the day for Smiles, The Bools will probably lose too.
@ Loosehead:Unfortunately, Campese, after making a lot of sense, makes a stupid comment by saying we should play a fetcher, and that should be Brussouw. Hasn’t he read the SA coaching manual? We don’t use fetchers, they’re useless. Come on Campese, get your act together.
@ grootblouBokJan:Shoo, you’re older than I thought!!!!!
316 @ Gobble_BokJan: I doubt that he has the backbone to face that. He aint no Jake White.
324 @ Just For Kicks:
You’re as old as the woman you feel…. hehehe
OK, over to the Griquas / Sharks thread
323 @ Just For Kicks: Much like Vermeulen, when Brussouw was fit, HM never picked him.
Naas just said what we all have been saying. If Meyer uses Lambie or Goosen or both of them allow them to play their natural game. This bloody kick away everything is spoiling things and it will definitely spoil Goosen and Lambie’s game, as both these players are creative players, like to play what is in front of them. Also both love to run and keep possession and kick bloody everything away.
Just very disappointed. Also seems Dstv has told Mallett to cool it and that is a shame. I want honesty and if it is brutal honesty from the panel that is fine.
@ Loosehead:, @ Gobble_BokJan: They’d never do that, they’d have to eat too much humble pie.
