Rassie is in charge...Nie naber is his sidekick...it's been obvious for years...nobody is pulling strings...the boks aren't puppets.

Josè is the face, the public relations. Nienaber is the technician. Neither one has a clue how to attack though. That's the puzzling thing, as good defensive coaches across sports have a very good knowledge of attack/offence. It doesn't appear to be that way in South Africa. Not surprising.

Yet we outscored the "Fantastic Poms" easy peasy in the final?...we've got variation, we've got surprises, a rock solid defense, we kick ass, sorry you missed it...stop focusing on the negatives, you're missing good rugga!

What variation? Three man pod outside 9 with the same handful of setups. Passing outside fhe first pod a few more times than usual is now a sign of variation? You don't have a clue what you are talking about Herr Draht. We beat the Poms because we denied them the platform to strike on their terms, a matchup that was our best in the world, as we had a record of obliterating their pack. It wasn't even the most dominant performance, as that was the 2018 Twickenham test.
I missed nothing. While you were fast asleep dreaming I was actually taking in what happened.

Yes, I did. I know what shapes, plays, sequences, patterns and distribution chains and units for every phase Lügnerin. Try again.

Well it’s pretty bloody obvious Rassie is pulling the strings, very astute rugby brain evidenced by the players input in Chasing the Sun and others that have witnessed him at work.
Gavin Rich has been a rugby writer for 30 years and he says Rassie is the best he has seen in those 30
Neinaber is Rassie’s puppet who has learnt everything from Rassie - he has never had a gig away from Rassie
I’m loving everything Rassie is bringing to the table bar a selection or two but...

Chasing the Sun…..hahaha….5 episodes when they played one good test. If Rassie is in charge the whole Nienaber as coach thing is a sham.

Ah so they only played one good test - pretty special then if in the process of one good test they went from 7 to 1, beat NZ away, won the RC and WC
Imagine what they will achieve when they play many good tests
Wow you anti Rassie’s are a joke
Of course Rassie is in charge - he is a man of his word, he said he would remain hands on

I’m actually talking about the WC…..2018 was a disaster. And the 2019 RC was a non event as always.
If the Great Erasmus wanted to remain hands on he should have remained the coach. These games he plays like the water boy routine aren’t consistent with rugby values.
I do agree with him on the value of Mostert and deep sixing the Deysel twins though.

Chasing the Sun is not about the WC alone at least in this WC the Boks played some real sides unlike Jake’s WC where we literally only played England.
His water boy call is brilliant much like his Bomb Squad was. He is ever evolving and always ahead of the pack
Rassie has said nothing about Mostert other than having his hand forced in having to select him given Lood has yet to play and RG is out.
Mostert will be done after test 1 - watch this space. The guy is a complete liability
