I always rated the trio of Rassie, Jacques and Proudfoot and was really pleased to see how well the Stormers did. I then blamed Coetzee for thinking that we played a way to defensive game. Even though the Stormers led in Super Rugby but could never conjure
up decent attacks.I know the stormers played fantastic attacking rugby in he first year Rassie took over.
Fast forward, Rassie becomes bok coach. We got rid of Coetzee insane plan for attacking rugby and we brought back our defence, scrum and forward dominance. We have players like Am and Kolbe that thrives off attacking rugby and lethal on Turn overs,
Yet, we are nowhere near our world champion status.
Can we salvage and put together a decent World Cup team?
Rassie was so windgat when he said we can select 50 % players of colour. Yes we have the talent for all races but we are not at 50%. Just look at our schools teams.
Now what, we are selecting 3rd choice players and we are the laughing stock right now.
I would just hire Scott Robertson, fire Rassie for cause and get rid of stick for poor performance.
Just tell Robertson to pick whoever he wants. Let Saru deal with the politics
I think between the Bulls, Sharks, Stormers and Lions we could select a decent test team and don’t need these foreign based players. Only select local. We are the URC champions and have the bulls as runners up.
Fuck off Rassie, your con has gone on to long.

This takes us right back to the days of Coetzee, never have I ever seen such poor selections. Players that are 3rd choice at there franche
