Of course, the deceitful, manipulative and inherently dishonest liar conveniently ignores this post . . .

Before the RWC started I said words to the effect that I consider Rassie to be a crybaby, a bungling fool with a big ego and lacking the courage or ambition to play attacking and exciting rugby.
During the RWC I said that Rassie made some incredibly stupid and shortsighted decisions and I complained bitterly about the mindless kick-and-hope game plan.
Now it's after the World Cup is over and we have defended our title successfully and become the first team to win 4 titles.
I still find it hard to forgive Rassie for his embarrassing crybaby behaviour during the British Lions tour, I still think he lacks the courage or ambition to play attacking and exciting running rugby. I do believe he had the biggest and best pool of talent to choose from and nearly botched it and I still dislike his insatiable need to control everything . . . but (and this is a big "but") . . . I also said before the tournament started that if he won it, I would call him a rugby genius and that is what inspires this post.
I don't like Rassie. For me he has a big ego, he whines a lot, he uses a lot of foul language, he's abrasive and he generally behaves like a caricature of the arrogant dutchman . . . but he is a genius.
Rassie has two very good positive attributes. I've spoken about Rassie's skills as a motivator before but I don't believe that's "genius", it's more to do with the fact that he was a Springbok himself and a very good one at that so he commands respect from the players in his squad.
Rassie's genius is his ability to execute. We all have great plans and ideas but how often do we execute them? Rassie executes. He is the Elon Musk of rugby. That is Rassie's genius and don't forget, a poor plan is still better than no plan at all.
Well done Bokke! Well done Rassie Erasmus!"
. . . which he clearly read.
Basically, I said before RWC 2023 started that as much as I dislike Rassie, if he won us the RWC for a second time I will stop criticising him and I'll recognise him as a great coach.
Now, it's pretty obvious to me that Moffie has no concept of what it means to keep one's word.
I kept my word. Moffie is still shitting in his pants because I kept my word. Makes you wonder what this drunken old fool's word is worth . . . no?
LMAO!
