Meyers dream team

Jan De Koning  - per I Africa

And, according to our sources, this is whom Meyer has lined up:

1. John McFarland:
The English-born defence coach and former London Irish head coach helped Meyer and the Blue Bulls win four Currie Cup titles and become the first South African side to win three Super Rugby titles. Rated as “the best defensive coach in the world game” by his bosses in Pretoria, McFarland has spent 10 years working with the Bulls. He is set to work as a kicking coach at the Boks. (???)

2. Jacques Nienaber:
The defence coach of the Stormers, who was responsible for making the Cape franchise the best defensive unit in the 2010 and 2011 seasons, joined up with the Boks at the World Cup last year - where the Boks' defensive record was second best in the pool stages, conceding just two tries (one each against Wales and Samoa), and another in the quarterfinal loss to Australia. He will be in charge of defence.

3. Rassie Erasmus:
Regarded as one of the most astute analysts of the game, Erasmus resigned from his role as 'Senior Professional Coach' at Western Province/Stormers. Although he was also linked to Nick Mallet and the England job, he has since emerged as the leading candidate to be a full-time Technical Director/analyst on Meyer's panel - similar to the role he played for both Jake White (2007) and Pieter De Villiers (2011) at the World Cup.

4. Paul Treu:
He made a seamless transition from being captain of the South African Sevens team the one season and coaching them the next! After a patchy start, Treu has developed into one of the best attacking masterminds in the abbreviated version of the game - taking the BlitzBokke to the IRB World Series crown in 2008/09. He has also managed to develop and nurture players through his Sevens structures. Treu’s visionary dedication has earned him a spot as the Bok backline coach.

5. Basil Carzis:
He was courted by Peter de Villiers ahead of last year's World Cup, but the fitness and conditioning expert looks set to follow Meyer to the Test arena after being part of their three successful Super Rugby campaigns and also winning four Currie Cup titles with the Bulls.

Is True the right man - how does sevens rugby translate into the 15 man code. Wonder how accurate this is.

Paul Treu...ag nee man, 7's is a different game, get Eddie Jones on a short term basis.

Short term quick fixes is not the way to go.

Treu ha sbeen very goo din the sevens areana an dma ydo a job fo rthe Boks. However I much prefer no ttaking thes gambles. Get in an eddie Jone sor someone you know has proven ability to get our backline going.

The fact is that King Carlos has shown there is nothing wrong with SA backs that a bit of good coaching cant solve. Our Bok backline has underperformed for years relying on individual briliance more than teamwork
