Dumb F#&$ing Nienabaar

https://rugby365.com/countries/south-africa/boks-battling-to-tick-boxes-ahead-of-world-cup/

Just read this interview, what the hell is he doing?!! No idea on tackle stats are knows what he is talking about. He is a defensive coach primary but now shrugs his shoulders and say it is not his responsibility. 

He can't pick the right team or bring in the right players. Seems to have a brain implosion when having to do more. 

Sure you look at all the players, probably rank them and then decide who you want to select , how do you want to play. 

There are some reasons behind certain selections it your team is geared to play a certain way as it compliments most of your team's strengths. 

He has just been shocking in his selections as well as how the team should play. Rather relying on existing players that are out form, injured or lacking game time. 

No competition in the squad what so ever.

A guy like Vermeulen should not be there nor Steyn. If you are not performing, playing or the best at your club or where ever you play then why rock up. 

Just read Jakes comments on Goosen and Nkosi, they not going to pick the guys because they are short on match fitness and bit had serious injuries, so going to ease them in. The same should have been for the injured bok players , got some games and then we will pick you based on that performance. 

But, no, we have to stick with our incest group. 

Rassie should come back or get a decent head coach 

Rassie is the coach you fucking turd brain. And, you just answered yourself you moronic colon blockade...

compliments most of your team's strengths. 

You never learn because you are too pigheaded... like all other yarpies... to see what these players really are. You aren't smart enough to be a coach. So just shut the fuck up. Stick a kornkob in yer gob...

I say Mrs Searle old girl, jolly well said.

Oh brother ... another one in need of a double decker bus.

Ex Saff the blubbery slob would see the word Double Decker and eat the fucker...

I watched the interview live and besides being unprepared the guy is not knowledgeable and should not hold TV interviews  "LIVE".

It is obvious that he is out of his depth as a manager of an international rugby team/squad and totally out of touch with respect to form, selection and general winning tactics of the game and the Springboks.

Honestly how he was selected for the role he is in reminds me of the times when the Nats in government had their stooges and families in the top positions of government departments.

It's not what you know it's another case of who you know.

Shocking.

Saffex, I see you are coming around that Rassie sold us down the river. Only two things matter to him, that was the World Cup and came way sooner than expected. He got 6 years automatically before even proving anything. Then it was the lions, to be honest was a really boring series. Although, not sure to praise him for pointing out the ref or rebuke him. 

Now Niena only has a 50% win ratio without Rassie there on tour or match days. 

You summed it up perfectly. 

Well, hope the players can put a decent performance on the field this Saturday. Shouting for the Aussies to beat AB tomorrow. 

I am amazed at KC.    When the totally incompetent Meyer and Coetzee was destroying SA Rugby - there was no attacks on them by those people who now attacks Nienaber and Erasmus.   When in the whole RC in all 3 tests in 2015  following 2 losses in the 2014 RC had a run of 5 losses a tive  beat a second level Argentine people followed by the Japan disaster - the site members now criticizing Nienaber were dead quiet nd supportive of Meyer.   That was followed by the disastrous Coetzee coaching and according to the same people everything was fine with the Springboks.

The moment Erasmus was appointed the attacks on him started - often based on lies and deception and we ave t ebar in mind that the experts are longing for return to the Meyer and Coetzee debacle.      .          

You yarpies are so stupid. it's all the same shit. Jake blackie Meyer all the same shit. Hardly anything has changed. All the same shit. You stupid cunts are so obsessed with province ties etc.

Oh and nothings changed from Erasmus to erm Erasmus. You cunts are so daft.

Rassie agrees every team. What  we need is a new head coach instead of this Master/Blaster combination.

Who should replace Nienabaar? 

Not sure Jake White will ever be invited back, not many other SA coaches other than Dobbo put his hand up, but then that was the URC. 

Johan Ackerman is in Japan but his team is not setting the world alight. 

Johan van Graan not really that great. 

I do like Scott Robinson, but don't think SA would ever appoint a kiwi or foreign coach

Plumtree... this bozo was hand crafted by god to be the perfect match for the Blunderblocks. 

Swys should be there for Backline and Dobbo as head Coach....Funny since Nienhaber is head coach, he has lost his Defence Mojo also....Defence coach should be Simon Laker from the Stormers and Dawie Snyman, can be Assistant Backline coach.

the Physio just keeps talking himself into a corner, over and over again. Read the statement below and you make up your mind

“There are some good flyhalves coming through, but if we go that route and select them into the squad we would end up using five specialist flyhalves, and that would be too many as we wouldn’t have the time to divide our focus between them,” said Nienaber.

“We will be taking two specialist flyhalves to the World Cup next year and then we will have a utility back that can cover that position. All teams are made up like that. Even having five specialist flyhalves at an alignment camp is too many in terms of what that would mean for the allotment of time given to each of them by the coaching staff.”

His logic is that, oh we can only have 2 fly halves at the World Cup so we should only have 2 for the boks. 

Heaven forbid that we have to talk to 3 more fly halves and spend time with them. 

Difference is, World Cup is 6 weeks with 4 to 7 games. Where as you had 18 months with 20+ games to build depth incase one or two break down. In our case, the starting to 10s are out. So use a utility player then for the rest of the season? 

The other fallacy is that those are the only players you can use, but it is false. If a player is injured, teams are allowed to replace them and bring players outside of the squad into the team. 

There needs to be a 3rd and 4th choice flyhallf, they need to know where they stand and what is required of them. Should be part of the training groups and be invited to camps. 

But we have more 9's and wingers but not enough 10's 

Fucking joke of a coach, what the fuck is Rassie up to. 

Probably to much time courting the media and trying to line himself up for the England job

Not a fan or Robert Du Preez, but at leas he would fit in with the boks style of rugby and he has already been capped, playing 10 consistently and can over both centre positions. 

Can't bank on Goosen as he is just a Goose step away from doing his knees in, again 

KC

Nienaber is a ten times better coach than the idiotic  Meyer was and a 100 times better than that Moron who succeeded him/   You never moaned about those two and has been moaning about Erasmus since his appointment in 2018.    

re you both prejudiced and ignorant?

But still 10 x behind Mallet and White. 

White, first year in charged won the tri-nations. Team took a dip in the 3rd year leading up to the World Cup, but made the fatal mistake following Tim Noakes advice on giving players extended rest, which meant the likes of Du Preez, Matfield etc were left behind. Outcome, boks won the World Cup convincingly, however, for his trouble got booted. That very same team with a rubbish coached managed to claim the lions series and beat the All Blacks 3 times in one year. When White left SA rugby it was in a better state. De Villiers did the complete Opposite. 

Mallet, early days of professional rugby, but went on a 17 run winning streak, played amazing attacking rugby and probably one of the greatest in between World Cup team. Made the mistake to pick Bobby Skinstad over Teichman. Got booted for making comments about ticket prices. 

Meyer started off well, but started to flirt with expansive rugby, I did criticise him, but we were really competitive but after the De Villiers era. De Villiers didn't bring any young players through. Probably the main reason why Frans Steyn packed his bags.  All Meyer had was to work with his old Bulls Stars and try to bring through younger talent like Pollard and Kriel.  He fielded a mix of very old and very young players. His only sin was that he pre determined who would play when and for how long. Became too robotic and predictable. Unfortunately the writing was on the wall when we lost to Argentina for the first time at home and then the WC Japan disaster when he took 5 injured players to the World Cup who weren't really fit. He tried to bring back Jacques Fourie and Fourie Du Preez barely made it. Not to mention Oupa Matfield. 

Coetzee, don't even get me started with him. But we have had a lot of bad coaches and a couple of good ones. 

I think Jake White percentage win ratio would be higher had he not brought in younger players and risked certain games for experience in view of the World Cup. He nearly lost his job, got flown out to SA in a middle of a tour to explain to the board why he wasn't winning. But look at the quality players that came from him. I don't like his media presence, he is not perfect but can he spot and develop talent. I'm really happy he is staying for another 5 years at the bulls. Just hope that he doesn't chase the next international contract and keep bringing talent through in SA. Good for us. 

As for Rassie, brilliant tactician, not strategist. Knows how to tweak struggling teams to deliver. But, he has never stayed in a position for more than 2 years before moving on. Maybe at the Stormers as Director of Rugby. Same can be said for the boks, 2 years in the top job and then just give the reigns to the Physio. Not a smart move. 

Hell, I would even opt for Deon Davids over the Physio. At least Davids won some games in Super Rugby with the Queens and a very poor player base. That said, he had the likes of Am and Mpimpi as very young players. So who knows, maybe Davids could be our next coach. 

But that said, being a national coach requires so much more than just between those 4 lines. 

I think if we could bring a brain trust together of Mallet, Swys, White and Rassie we would be unstoppable. But our coaches have big egos and don't work well with others. Even the Physio as defensive coach, can't believe I say this by Neill Powel / Stick for break down skills we would be bloody awesome. 

White and Mallet also ran out of ideas within a year or two...Nina is the puppet...this is all on Rassie.

Mallet is the last GREAT Block coach. Get it right Bilbo. All the rest are the fucking same except Coetzee who gave you fucks what you want. Wake the fuck up you dumpy featherless turkey.
