We lost against the ABs yesterday, but played them closer than at the WC. We were right back to the level we achieved against Wales and the Lions…..without Harrassmus. 


The Harrassmus groupies were bemoaning our loss to Oz, saying Harrassmus had no chance to input….if he did things would be different. Well yesterday he was still in Maaitjiesfontein and things were different, we rediscovered our defence.


But as usual the media and our Harrasmus groupies miss another point… .Oz just played us better. Rather than complicated phase play in their half, the Quaalude booted us deep negating the return up and under as a weapon. They put us under territorial pressure and Kerevi exploited Allende’s lack of defensive anticipation. They were a tougher opponent than NZ was yesterday.


The point is the absence of Harrassmus had nothing to do with our Aussie losses, nor with our playing NZ closer than many anticipated. He was irrelevant and probably was against the Lions as well.


This snake oil artist has tried to play his own game throughout….bemoaning the refs while teaching our players to feign injuries to slow down the game. He has destroyed our back play, developed almost no new players and guided us into becoming the world’s pariah. And now the one saving grace, winning, is also down the tubes.


Cut the cord and let Nienaber coach without his input…..and ffs get Nienaber a top notch backline coach. Enough with the soap opera.

Josè is still involved. The lying Plastiks are relying on distance to run the narrative that he is separate from the losses. He isn't. That said, Krutch is the one doing the actual hands on xs and os anyway. The whole damn time.

Jake never abandoned the Springboks twice, never taught them to feign injuries…..never attacked the referees turning his players into whining mini me’s. Would never, ever willingly be separated from his team on a tour in quest of the RC.

Don’t compare this snak e oil artist with Jake White.

Jake said to the Boks early on that they were not going to be a team of sorrys. He also dropped his good friend Schalk until he cut out his penalties. José is a very substandard clown show passing itself as coaching; Jake is the genuine article.

Well hopefully Harrassmus makes it clear what the status quo is…..is he still the head coach, or can the modest improvement in Bok performance be credited to Nieneighbor. Also, will Harrassmus stay in Matjiesfontein during the YE tour or is he sufficiently optimistic that we might win a few that he feels emboldened to leave the laager.

Shows what you know about leadership Dave…..I’m asking who our leader is and whether one of the two possibilities expects to be there or whether he intends to remain a Zoom coach. Totally legitimate questions our useless rugby reporters should be asking.

Well Moz he stayed away so as not to draw attention away from preparing for the tests That decision must have been made in the belief that the players would buy into Neinaber and would be ok without his physical presence That had backfired as the current 3-0 record under Neinaber confirms It was a mistake and in hindsight Rassie should have been with the side. None of us really know what actually happens in camp but Chasing the Sun gave us some insight into the dynamics of Rassie and the players. They clearly love him, respect and completely buy into him as their coach Rassie and Neinaber clearly were mistaken into believing Neinaber would carry the same status. I for one never believed the players would as Neinaber has proved nothing as a coach on his own. We should have comfortably beaten Oz given how easily NZ did in 3 tests but something was amiss - Rassie’s absence and poor selections which compromised our physical edge My guess is that by Saturday the players themselves had decided enough is enough and they rose to the occasion I’m with you on the issue with Rassie not sticking around and I hope him not being in Oz is not an indication of things to come. If Rassie is not going to be hands on, then he needs to get a merit coach on board Look no further than Scott Robinson or Ackerman/ Swys de Bruin

It was confirmed by several players that José is very involved with preparations. Don't kid yourself that this control freak is just going to waltz off and leave it all in his subordinate's hands. Think like an adult for once in your life.

Even with phone, even with text alone, you can completely communicate every detail of the gameplan. Are you from the Triassic period you bumbling buffoon?

If we just think back, not such along time ago, where we won the AB in there backyard + W Cup...with tactically sound creative forward and backline play, playing into space and scoring tries. The problem here is that rassie can’t be director and head coach at the same time. Nienaber is under pressure being on his own, as him and rassie has been working very closely together for years already. Whichever way this must change soon as we have player talent to be up there with the best consistently.

Zoom bwhaaahaaa Are you seriously trying to equate using zoom or WhatsApp video here and there as being the same as Rassie being with the players 24/7 in person picking up on players moods, well being, motivation etc. Actually being on the training pitch, in the change room etc How fucking insulting to human intelligence Fucking joke

Rassie isn't a competent technical coach, so his physical presence is of no consequence. He is good at making oaks feel feeling things. The rest, is all down to Krutch. That's how the duo have always functioned. There is no record of any José team functioning at a high level on attack.

Well we will see this we. Nienaber is sticking adamantly with his kicking game plan. Even kolisi says they won’t change. Maybe hopefully a tactic and then game day with a surprise. If we loose again there will be big pressure, job pressure with end of the year tour.

No difference between our Lions performance when Harrasmus was literally  on the park…..and when he was Cyberasmus for the current tour.

I noticed some comments on Rassie and Jake's coaching skill. Here a reference with Jake's comment on the Bulls' loss this past weekend.

Rassie isn't a competent technical coach says the Org, newly crowned buffoon of the rugby section.

Rassie was coaching or very involved when we won the Rugby Champions, the RWC and the Lions series. But of course all he got for his efforts was a daily trashoing from the bigoted ignorant duo of mozzzzzzzz and the Org.

Mozzz criticizes Rassie for running away and then says he is not needed. 

One thing is crystal clear. We are dealing not with fair minded analysis, but vitriol based on wounded egos as Rassie has for some years now been a source of great embarrassment to these two RDS cases.

The difference between our win against the Lions (a weaker team, we played at home) and our loss against a much more dangerous NZ ….is paper thin. We played the same rubbish….got lucky against the Lions, didn’t get lucky against NZ.

Harrassmus has done his worst to change the Boks to the 1980s Bools, there are no tricks left in his arsenal. Time to run for the hills.

We had this BS from Mozart and  The Kindergarten Imbecile sine Erasmus was appointed and they still are at it.    This from two idiots who supported Meyer and Coetzee all out.   That says it all.

That’s a simplistic argument Dave:
1. I have no doubt Harrassmus is in hourly contact with Nienaber.
2 They are still playing with Hun’s tactics and I have no doubt he selects the team.
3 There is no difference in the rugby we played against the Lions and on tour, except in the second Oz test where we ran the ball a bit.
4 When Hun was with the team in 2018 we lost half our tests..  2021 is more like 2018 than 2019.
5 If Harrassmus thought the tour was going to be a triumph, hell and high water wouldn’t have kept him away.
………
The Springboks playing half decently should beat all but NZ, Oz and the Poms at home…..automatically. And we should always be competitive against those opponents.
That’s our rugby legacy.,,nothing to do with Harrassmus.
