It's blindingly obvious....we will never make it with Coetzee

Agreed, Coetzee never had it as a coach - we saw that with the Stormers. He advocates the expansive game but we know he is not comfortable with that style......its all talk to please the masses.

His style is a conservative one, evidenced by his discomfort in playing Jantjies at 10 and how Jantjies never prospered under him at the Stormers.....he was far more comfortable selecting Lambie to start and jumped at the opportunity of bringing Morne back on board.

I was mostly impressed with the squad he selected along with the A squad selected.....it was a step in the right direction.

However, unfortunately despite the squad, we saw conservative selections like Mvovo, JP, Beast, Strauss and Louw......not to mention playing Kolisi out of position and an out of form Vermeulen at 8.

These selections sold us short, particularly in the forwards where at best we achieved parity.

Not selecting our most physical hooker and not playing a true bruiser at blindside, accounted for parity.

As for Coetzee the coach, I don't see a game plan, I see a bunch of individuals doing their own thing.....there is no pattern or structure......Coetzee does not inspire, as you say he does not possess the competitive edge.....there is no rugby wisdom or insight when he speaks and we see that in the way the side is playing.

Selecting Strauss as his captain for the rest of the year is a big mistake when he is the 3rd best hooker in the country.

These facts coupled with having to start at least 5 players of colour means the man is on a hiding to nothing 

With the real show by Coetzee as coach of the Springboks in the recent irish test, we have to look at the similarities between Meyer and Coetzee:=

Similarities

Both Meyer and Coetzee have a major commonality  - both had o game plan and both consider scoring of tries is not to be tried and that penalty conversions only remains a consideration.

Both has no idea about usage of the backline – with forwards often meddling  by being first receivers of balls.

Both has serious selection deficiencies – Meyer had no interest in performance of players and was solely interested in reputation players without regard to performance.   Coetzee has a similar  problem – he has a mixture of experience and racist-based quotas in his selection methodology.   In both cases performance is not really an issue of importance.  

Differences

Whereas Meyer disliked the Lions players because they would require a more comprehensive game plan – Coetzee did select Lions players  for the Springbok squad.   He used them sparingly though – mostly from the bench.      

 Both should never have been Springbok coaches.
