    Did this look like well coached team?
    Were the forwards drilled and in unison?
    Were the backs looking for space and did they have support runners on each shoulder?

    This team desperately needs professional assistant coaches.
    Time to bring and end to the culture of cronyism and get real men with strong attitudes to get this team right.

    Otherwise I am wasting my time and money going over to England for the RWC next year.

    What we saw tonight was 23 talented young guys trying their best for their team and their country.
    Well done to them.
    But the coaching staff have let them down and do not deserve any kudos at all.
    Heyneke needs to realise that professional international rugby requires top coaches for every discipline of the game.
    The Boks are way off the pace in this respect.

    Oh, and Nizaam Carr, take a bow young man.
    That break, draw and pass to Reinach was out of the top drawer.
    Kieran Reid would have been proud.

    Cronyism.

    Real men.

    What a tool.

    Nice fightback by the Proteas at the end, almost pulled off what would have been quite a win
