Lets just talk about real RUGBY issues

If you took Argentinian forwards and drilled them with NZ and Oz backline nobody could touch them…except SA forwards and French backline… the only reason I believe this is skills and coaching…agreed it’s simplication but with a sensibile coaching programme easy to achieve.

 

SA Rugby is in a panic syndrome with coaches that don’t have more ability and spunk than the local club rugby coach.

 The NZ training process is from bottom to top. That is one of NZ strengths that set them apart.

Not sure that current Argentinean players would have made it to the top if they had started from the bottom. Other argentinean players (some who were ruled out by argentinean training ways and could not turn pro) might have.

It is a problem of structuration, unity in approach, training and developpment.

SA is lagging behind by at least twenty years in that department: ten years to set up the structures, validate them, and ten more years to get the first batch of players. A lower estimate.

It is only one of the many deficiencies in SA rugby, most of them are originated in the previous regime, the current regime having no clue on the way to mend for the past.

The emergency is on bridging from the current point to the point when SA rugby could turn out competitive.
Other rugbys understood that part a long time ago and set different measures to get rugby to live up that point.
On this, too, SA is lagging behind and have no clue on how to mend ways.

The only remaining solution: preparation of the end of rugby in SA.

Yeah. I know what your point is Trad but it's really not that sophisticated...SA rugby is good at school level and club (which too many have discounted because of the enemy ... super rugby...Currie Cup has always been good but this false elevation of super rugby slowly erodes our rugby...rugby becomes the servant of popular demand...they forget that rugby players are human beings and individuals that best perform without unrealistic demands and greedy franchises that at the end of the day shoot themselves in the foot.
