Bang gat Harrassmiss getting his dues

We came from the WC as champions. But an honest assessment is we played one intense game and got poor opposition from the Poms. Intensity is key to our game…witness the first AB test vs the second. Today we came out dead flat…right from the kickoff. Hell dead flat from the moment they selected Dwebe.

If Harrassmiss was trying to build a Bok dynasty he should have been honing skills, developing players and broadening our tactics.

Instead he used Covid as an excuse not to compete and shoved all the heat onto Knee nicker while he does heaven knows what. Then he produced the pathetic ref challenge last year which further lowered our reputation.

This man literally checked out in confrontation with Matt Cockbain ….this lack of combativeness shows up in his coaching choices and his unwillingness to take responsibility. 

We are in a mess.

Well there were three intense games in the wc you lost the first and the second was called the worst game in rugby history. The first kiwi test and second had no change from the Blocks... the kiwis changed their tactics and their already superior strength was better used against the piss poor Block defence. The lkey to the Block game is to take the fight out of open play and try win in the lineouts (scrum is usually shit) and put the ball in the air and try dominate field position fishing for penalties. 

" Erasmus is regarded as an elite coach, but the accelerating decline of the Boks is a reminder that his legacy is one based on salvaging sinking ships, not maintaining championship contenders.

The Cheetahs hadn’t won a Currie Cup in 28 years when he led them to glory in 2005 and 2006. The following year he joined the Boks as technical adviser and by 2008 he was heading up the rescue operation at the Stormers, who had finished the 2007 Super 14 season in 10th place. The Cape franchise reached the final in 2010 and Erasmus pulled the ejection cord the following January.

After riding a desk at SA Rugby for a few years, Erasmus went to Munster in 2016, taking over a team that had won 77 of 125 matches since 2012. He put together a 77% win rate (the best in club history) and Munster finished top of the 2016-17 PRO12 table and runners-up in the playoffs.

Erasmus cut short his stay to return home in 2018 to dig the Boks out of their deepest hole, and famously guided them to the title at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

But what has changed since then is that he is no longer coaching a squad frantically trying to scrape off the stench of losing 20-18 in Florence, 38-3 in Dublin and 57-0 in New Zealand. He is now working with World Cup winners, and the victors of a successful series against the British & Irish Lions.

And where he first pulled together a team desperate to do whatever it took to stop the bleeding every time they ran out, he now finds himself in charge of a group of players, many of whom cannot see what’s in front of them because they’re squinting at the blurry 2023 Rugby World Cup in the distance.

As the idiom goes, it’s easier to get to the top than stay there. The implication is that it takes something different to achieve sustained success and Erasmus has done a terrible job of making the brave calls required to change into 2023 world champions. " - SA Rugby Mag.

There's some major bull to this shit...

Great article, Power.

Rassie has shown us that he doesn't have the courage to make the tough decisions.

He cannot rescue this sinking ship. 

To do so he needs to stand up for merit selection and to fire the coaching staff.

The scary thing is that while he continues supporting the useless race based selection, heLl remain in his current position.

We:ll watch our beloved Bok regress into something unrecognisable. 

It is a sad fact that everything they touch turns to sheeeat!!!

Well good fucking luck finding someone better! Who is it gonna be huh? Return of White? Honestly don't fucking know what your options are but when it does happen you morons will have some serious shit go down. Probably another Coetzee thinking he can play all t attacking rugby. What a laugh that'll be!

You are so fucking stupid Saffex. Am is about a 6/10 on a very rare good day, Willemse is shit, Roos is even shittier, Ebenezer is giving overrated and Marx is only good at the breakdown. You don't know your shit Saffex. I suppose I'm gonna get another list of the 15 starting xvs that are world beaters! XD! 

Attention seeking... fucking externalising your bullshit again huh? Whose the attention seeking cunt who posts his ugly mug on here? Name dropping all your big buddies. Yeah, I read that shit. You're so fucking full of yourself. And yourself is shit.

I don't know when Rassie can join the team again?, but the obvious thing for him to do now, not later, is to take over head coaching role again.....with Nienhaber just defence coach....surely he can see things are going pear shaped and saving sinking ships is his thing....the question is will he be able to take Responsibility,  to make those hard necessary calls?? Chances is strong that he is in the process again, to cut the cord for his exit.....let's see what he is made off.

Mpower I had you down as smarter then that. Erasmus is still in charge and the game is exactly the same now as it fucking was in 2018. The players are THE problem here. That's what none of you want to fucking get through your heads. You don't have the fucking players to play a different way. It just doesn't fucking work. Erasmus is making it all in some way relevant. Good fucking luck when he is gone then the shit really will hit the fan. Your ayers are shit... factor in a ahittier coach and you won't get better thsjnEramsus now.... you'll slide even further down the ranks. 

Yes Rosie some of the players are a major problem here, that is true....but other than test Rugby the top tier Competitions is where all the top players hone there skills....where players like Roos , Gelant, Gerhard Steenkamp, Elrigh, johan grobbelaar, Vincent tshituka, pepsi, Libbok, rickus pretorius etc etc....showed there steel and skill against some of the best players in the world.....the top teams France,Ireland etc.. has successfully managed to integrate there best inform players into there National Squad...R&N have not been able to grow sufficient player Depth.

Am is a definite talent. 

It's not his fault that he has a ball hog on his inside.

I would like to see what Am can do at 12.

We already know he's a strong runner and a great distributor. 

Maybe we should see who we can slot in at 13.

Where was Am on Saturday? Really shitty passes and offloads. Awful defence. Just a brainless runner in space. Can't create for shit!
