Whats says ou maaaikie to this revelation?


Cape Town - Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer is not worried about the lack of game time flyhalf Morné Steyn recently got in France.

It was widely reported that Steyn had struggled for form at his French club, Stade Francais, which led to him spending the majority of the past season on their bench.

However, Meyer says Steyn did not fall out of favour with the Paris-based club's coaches.

"The overseas clubs manage our players carefully and most of them have a rotation policy," Meyer was quoted as saying in Thursday's Die Burger.

"Morné was struggling with a sore back and therefore his workload was kept to a minimum. It was not a case of them thinking he wasn't good enough," said Meyer.

Steyn was included to start in Meyer's first Springbok team of the year against the World XV at Newlands on Saturday.


Hmmmm this puts things in a new light methinks?

 Beeno1 All we will hear from Mike is how M Steyn is not competitive enough by running flat and attacking the game line and that generally he is a one trick pony. Mike will never admit that he is wrong or that he could be wrong.He hides behind a "back door" clause.In this case it would be...,"oh a soor back you say,well he isn't a good player anyway and how can I redress that so it takes the attention away from the fact that he was managed all though I was banging the drum loudly that he wasn't good enough." Very clever,but you have to read between the lines.Mike doesn't like M Steyn because he is an x-Bulls player and he is one of those "Stormers" fans that believe only Stormers should be picked for the Boks.A Stormers fan can never support a Blue-pivot. Thing is...regardless of who or what they represent at club level,Stormer,Sharks,Cheetahs,Bulls,Steelers,Fuji-what ever,Bath,Leinscter...When that green jersey go's over that head they all become equal....they all become BOKKE!!!!!!There are no Sharks or what ever in the Bok team,just Bokke.
