Bok Squad for France

 Lol Whitely captaining a stamkar team. Talk about the wrong man for the job. 
By the end of this season we are going to be talking about how Whitely failed as test player when under even an average coach we'd be singing Whitely's praises. 
Everything that Coetzee represents is such a perfect example of South Africa on the whole.

 Coetzee, on criticism that our players aren't fit enough ..... 'There's a standardised test protocol from each of the conditioning coaches and we're in a good condition from a collaboration point.'

I miss PDivvy .

PDivvy.....he certainly is a living example that coaching is very overrated.

 Eddie Jones. Living example of how coaching makes all the difference...and it doesn't need to take years.

 So Fat Fransie is the cover at flyhalf according to Coetzee - a position he was even more disastrous than at center.   I note Mozart has gone quiet on  Fat Fransie since his 2014 stats were exposed how wickedly poor he really was.
As to the issue that coaching is not important is a real issue based on Pieter De Villiers must be regretted.   A good coach makes a huge difference to team performances.

Nothing but trouble with Fats Fransie's selection.

To think that he's preferred to Cronje as 10 cover.

I suppose we'll be seeing him take drop shots from his own 22 again.





 

Funny that you guy think Frans is cover for 10.

My money is on him starting.

His instructions are gonna be to kick everything into he oppositions half.

Welcome to the cluster fuckkk that is 2017 lads.

To start with Fat Fransie would be as destructive as the case was in the case of Morne  Steyn last year.   Matter of fact clueless Fat Fransie is even a worse ball kicker than Morne and his poor kicks in the past was a major reason for the record in ball possession handover by Fat Fransie in 2014.  
Fat Fransie is a slow decision-maker and he does not know when to kick and what else to do.   I can see a major joke developing.   Just think of the fact that the French loosies would attack in the channel and expose Fat Fransie's defens e as happened in his last game where he missed 4 of the 13 attempted tackles (missed tackle ratio 30,76%).  Louis Picamoles would be smiling from ear to ear about that one.   

I actually want the Bok's to lose the series against the French, if that is the only way we'll get rid of Coetzee. Even last year, for the end of the year tour I was so conflicted on weather or not I wanted our boys to win. As a form of silent protest, I didn't watch any Bok games after the Aussie test at Loftus. And I will continue my abstinence for the French series. Firstly, it is the only way I have of punishing the rugby administrators. Secondly, and more importantly, I really don't enjoy watching a game where I want my team to win and to lose at the same time....in the end, whatever the result, my team loses.  
Fark you Coetzee and fark you SA rugby for making me not want to watch my favourite sport. 

Fransie starts at 12 for the BaaBaas against the Poms on Sunday so we'll get to see if he's got anything left anything in the tank. I suspect not but we'll find out.

 Coetzee as everybody knows, just has survival on his tiny little mind. 
They're gonna pick Frans at 10, Hougaard at 9 and then the biggest donkeys possible at 12 and 13. It's gonna be horrible rugby without an ounce of creativity or decent attacking play. Forwards won't be offloading and the wings won't ever see the ball. Forget about seeing De Allende step.
The entire series will be wasted on Coetzees survival strategy with zero focus on actually building for the WC. By this time, after a year in charge he should have been well on his way and the team as well as its heading should be clear. Unfortunately exactly the opposite is true. Bloody twat.
It's laughable really. The level of BS we are supposed to put up with. 

 Plum
One consolation - If they lose all three tests against France SARU would not be able to further resist public pressure and the firing of Coetzee will become inevitable.   That is why I hope they do.  
No backline can function with the rot starting at flyhalf - so lets hope Fat Fransie is Coetzee's pick for him to start.

 We'll all be French for a few weeks come next month Mike. Unfortunate and sad, but us winning with be even sadder.

 We will probably win 2 out of 3. Duane will probably be at 7 WW at 8 and Kolisi at 6. Paige will start at 9, EJ at 10. DdA at 12. If Fransie absolutely have to start, I hope it's rather at 15.
