Tje followin g from Rugby 365:


"Stormers defence coach Norman Laker was surprised to learn that four Springbok assistant coaches have been deployed to help the struggling Bulls..

The Bulls received assistance from Bok assistant coaches in the form of Felix Jones and Jerry Flannery, Mobi-Unit coach Duane Vermeulen, and Head of Athletic Performance Andy Edwards.

The Pretoria-based side, under the guidance of Johan Ackermann following the departure of former Bulls Director of Rugby Jake White, has slumped into a five-match losing run in all competitions and will be determined to break it against tournament leaders Stormers in Cape Town."

Well, this actually proves Jake White was better. Firstly he didn't need saving by Dr.Lucky sending his assistant coaches.


And secondly White used all the "Fired" assistant coaches to great effect in reaching a URC final. Uncle BS Supreme in top form :)

Better was never better - he enver won a single trophy since 2007. The problem si that White contracted the players The players were not coached to implement a game plan ever - and that is where in the end the team collapsed,

Wouldn't be a bad idea for Rassie and his team to spend two days with the Bulls coaching teams to help them get on track.

Pity this was fake news.
