Imagine being that pathetic as a coach that you select
Adriaanse as your starting tighthead……..please, please sack this utterly
useless prick post the Wales game

Snapster I do trust you realise there is more to our problems than this quota coach?
How in the world does he drop Willie Le Roux!! Not even on the bench!

I can't remember the last good game wee Willie had. He has an occasional good play followed by several bad passes, etc. he wouldn't make a kiwi super rugby side let alone the ABs.

I d isagree Justwin. I think if Leroux was playing in a backline that had expert coaching for practised phase and broken play moves.- and other team members that can catch and pass- he would be more consistent.
He is a one man band in the backline on attack- and gets marked by the opposition

Error-ridden as he was, Willie was our only threatening back against Italy. Literally the only back that looked good enough for the test arena.

Our lads are soft in the heads and there is no team spirit . We need a stern coach that can kick their arses back in shape. Any army drill sergeant will do.

Venter over Allende made no sense either. venter has now played in every match on tour without looking vaguely competent. At least Allende showed a bit of spark oast Saturday.
One can only assume this is a Smith thing....our coaches are so parochial.

Venter is a class act playing out of position in a side with zero direction and low in confidence.....vast difference to selecting the utterly insulting Adriaanse at 3 who is not remotely good enough to be playing CC rugby.
Venter has at least shown over the years that he has every attribute to play test rugby the fact that he has not shown anything at test level can be attributed to the team as a whole. Judging the credentials of quality players under Coetzee is laughable....evidenced in Etzebeth being absolutely zero under Coetzee.....same applies to other class acts like Combrink, Jantjies, Faf, Lambie, Kitshoff, Lood, Jaco Kriel, Carr etc.....the Bok environment under Coetzee is toxic

Sharkbok, yes maybe Willie would perform better with good coaching & better players around him but in the current set up he's a 50/50 type of guy. As Coetzee hasn't been able to get the best out of him he is a high risk/reward type of player.

Our backs will look better if we can balance our loosies. The boks' major problem this year was a weak back row.

Venter will never be a dominating test centre...he is slow, wonders inside if a gap appears with no sharp step, doesn't offload particularly well.....blowing a try in the Italian test. Why has he emerged....only because the Cheetahs won the CC. Silly stuff.

We needed the other FS Venter on tour.
