Most impactful Springbok coach since 1992 - Final verdict

I see . . . so stupid. Ok.

LMAO!

Another banana "peal". You should hang on tighter to your zimmer frame, Moffie.

You have just been exposed as a liar yet again. But really I wouldn’t be worrying about all this, given the accommodations you can afford in Paris this is your most pressing problem:

Yes, there has been a significant bed bug infestation in Paris. While the initial panic was perhaps exaggerated, bed bugs are indeed a problem in the city. Several factors have contributed to this, including increased travel, insect resistance to some treatments, and the lack of widespread, coordinated pest control efforts.

….

To quote from The Fly…..be afraid be very afraid.

Bwaaaaahahahaha!

Don’t care how you put it, Fiji are nothing just like Japan are nothing

Japan beat Ireland, they beat the Boks - so what

Of course I’m counting NZ in 2019 - having to play them counts - it’s taxing paying them so certainly far more of a challenge than anything Jakes side had to face in his campaign

Here are the facts - under Jake the Boks only had to beat England to win the WC

Under Rassie in 2019 we had to face NZ, Wales and England to win it

Huge difference - one is an easy WC, the other more challenging and that’s a fact but 2019 does not come close to comparing with our last WC route to win it - no other WC campaign comes close to this last one

Both of Rassie’s campaigns were harder than Jake’s and that’s a fact

Fuck that bed bug is huge….Rooi Tit better take his shot gun with, those things will eat you alive:)

"And crucially the Boks never lost a game in 2007"

There's the lie, Moffie.

It's either a lie or an ignorant statement by a very stupid person . . . so in your case, Moffie, that would be both.

LMAO!

We faced NZ and lost

So what we still had to play them - being tough opposition

Jake’s side had no such thing

Rasmus hasn’t won his pool in 2 WCs. Losing is never a plus.

No the low class lie was editing my sentence to cut off the ending to change the context. Low class, poorly brought up dishonesty. But not surprising from a perpetual loser.

Just a question - was Erasmus ever effectively fired as a oach by anybody?

It happened repeatedly to Jake White - in 2007 by SARU - in 2014 by the Sharks in 2017 by Montpellier/ He also left the Brumbes because the Aussies would not consider him as Wallaby coach in 2013. He left the Brumbies because he wanted to be nearer his family - he came back to Stellenbosch where he lived and took a job with the Sharks and when fired went to coach Montpellier and from there went to Japan. .

Because Rassie had to face top 2 ranked sides in his groups unlike Jake who only faced England

Not winning your group is of zero consequence when you end up winning the comp

As I said - it’s factual that both of Rassie’s WC’s were harder than Jake’s

No rugby follower on this planet would count playing England alone being harder than facing NZ, Wales and England

Pretty obvious

You are confusing the pre tournament schedule…..and the matches you actually had to win. It happens all the time in tennis, one player has a tough draw but upsets make it easy.

Erasmus in 2019 had the harder schedule….I believe our 2007 team had to win tougher matches. Fiji more dangerous than Japan, Bargies on a roll and a much more focused Pom team.

And they never got dominated by 10 points on the way to their WC.

And nice lie about the Cueto try, the replays clearly show his foot brushed the line before he grounded the ball….so much for your honesty

Why anyone would be so blatantly dishonest about something like this, when there is so much easily available and clear evidence out there ... says a lot.

Just fast forward on pause to 1:36 .... enough said

I think you oaks need to give Meyer a bit more credit. He had to pick up a depleted bok squad that was mismanaged from snorre and had to rely on our baby bok team from 2012 to plug the gaps. Snorre was obsessed with race and don't forget earl the pearl rose, how awful he was and snore kept messing players around. He dropped Fourie for AD Jacobs, Quality player, but never a starter. He kept messing around with Ruaan Pienaar and really pissed of Frans Steyn that the guy just went, stuff this, I'm off to France. We saw his real value when Rassie brought him back and he ended up being or 2nd bok to win two world cups.

Meyer brought through so many players that are still playing today. Kriel and Pollard, De Allende got capped under him. Etzebeth had a fair run. Although he also relied heavily on his old bulls players like Matfield and Fourie Du Preez. Think Meyer was the automatic choice after White as he knew the bulk of the players and very close to developing young talent. It should have never been Snorre or Coetzee.

To Mallet own admission, he didn't know how to much these start players that wanted to play every game and should have rotated his players more and work with them better. I think at one stage the boks had something like 26 injuries. However, the greatest test much probably was when we beat NZ with Honeyball running a line and then scissors with Slap Chip for that try. I think the Kiwis didn't realise the boks could actually play with the backline, they were so shocked at that move that they thought it was illegal. However, you look at the obstruction Ireland. NZ and Australia have been getting away with for years.

If I had to pick my favourite coach I would say Mallet. He just didn't give a dam. Very outspoken but also backs it up.

To me Rassie has never been unbeaten in the World Cup and there will always be that over his head. He has never been able to string more than 5 or 6 games winning sequences and his own demise is him being too experimental. I do think teams like Ireland, NZ, Arg, Aus and Fra has a very good chance of beating the boks.

Where as with Mallet, the boks were unplayable. Joost, Honeyball, Muir, Snyman, Montgomerry, Slapchips, Terbrlance, These were amazing players, hard as nails and super athletic, big, strong fast. This was probably the first time we could cope with the size of the Kiwi backs.

I wish they brought him back but he has no time for politics at SA rugby or the government

No ways was Fiji harder than Japan - Japan were on fire that WC

Saying England were unfocused is insulting - it was a WC

Jake had the easiest WC in history and Rassie has had the hardest - facts

To praise Meyer for identfying playes is rank BS supreme. Injuries forced him to bring in New players and in some cases the number of tests new players he selected was rarely used and never coached by him as developing test players, I can mention a number of playes starting with Le Roux, Vermeulen, Du Toit, Pollard, De Jager, Kriel and De Allende, None of the above were selected as a result of injury issues and in the case of Kriel by Fourie being unfit and fat.

Matter of fact the match planning did not benefit any of the above players and in the 2015 RWC specifically was killing the new players, Take for instance in the semi against the AB's in 2015 Du Preez handled the ball 46 times and of those only 9 went to Pollard at flyhalf - the rest were kicked away by Du Preez himself, passed to forwards like Burger and Vermeulen and in rare cases to De Allende. After the Japan disaster Pollard, Le Roux. De Allende, Kriel and De Jager was used in every test and in the play-offs were tired out totally. In fact there were really 8 of the 31 man squad that was really playable and that was part of the disaster performances against the AB's in the semi.

Meyer was one of the worst coaches in the history of the Springboks and I rate him on par with De Villiers and Coetzee, In fact he was in close competition with Coetzee. Both ended up in coaching a French and Japanese team and both got fired because they were destroying the teams they were supposed to coach - both ebing regarded as BS by teh wonmers of the two clubs and sent packing by them in mid=season. Both were grossly incompetent as coaches.

The contribution Meyer did as to the development of the above players were never of any value and Erasmus had to get them back on track with self-confidence as well and that is why the playes mentioned really started to show their real value under Erasmus.

Where I do agree with you is the case of the need to find and start playing potential new players and Erasus is clear on that issue as well. s long as playes continue to prerform aon te level - irrepective of age they will be used even in the 2027 RWC. I spoke to Frans Malherbe's father a few days ago and it is clear Malherbe is near to the point of retirement. He has conunous back aches that is nto going to get better in 2025 and 2026. Some playes like Vermeiulen, Pollard, Le Roux and Kolisi is being developed as future coaches and not as players anymore - even though they will move gradually into coaching but being bench players in the case of the laltter 3. There are even doubts about Etzebeth - anothef concussion injury would men the end of his playing career as well.

So the problem remains Older players get injured more often and take longer time to recover from injuries. So lets see what happens over the enxt two yers as to player development into new test players.

The fact is Mozart is talking BS about England being "unfocused" is BS supreme. The English backline performances were better than that of the Springboks backline - while their Tight 5 held their own in the forwards and they were better in ball protection and recovery at breakdowns and even in turnovers of possession.

One can refer to the England team handing penalty kicks for law transgressions and those were all five converted by Montgomery (4) and Steyn (1), That could be caused by players due to age and taking chances finishing off their playing careers. Incidentally England using younger players lost badly in the Round obin stage to the S ringboks and then brought in the aed players in teh final.

Smit in his subsequent comments on the final said there was no provision in the White Game plan for scoring of tries and the team would have to find a way as to scoring of a try themselves if need be. In the final both Pietersen and Habana produced one big zero and the reason was the fact they were also on the top of their performnces - but never used at their best in the final. Weird - but true they never saw a ball in backlne play.

Actually I was talking about the 2019 team being unfocused.

HM lost in the SF in 2015 against the best AB team of the last 25 years. That Bok team had 9 players who started in the 2019 final Nine players!

HM was an important link in the chain.

Dave that English team thought they had won the WC when they beat NZ….it was totally apparent in their denial after the game when they wouldn’t wear their medals.

Thanks for the clip DA. Why one would blatantly lie the way the Nek did is puzzling. I actually think he is losing it….these irascible types often fall off their perch early.

". . . these irascible types often fall off their perch early."

25 years and still applying egg to your fat face every time you open your stupid trap.

Stop talking BS suppreme about the English team be unfocussed in 2019. They were not unfocused at all - they were beaten by a better team and the score difference was 20 points. They tried to use their backline often enough - but their attacks were destroyed by two players basically Du Toit and De Allende. The ream that easily beat the AB's in the semi don't become unfocussed in the following week - the beating of the AB's should be an encouraging factor and not "unfocused" now discovered by you.

The English lost the tight-five forward battle - the loose forward battle and the backline battle. Two tries were scored by the Springboks in which forwards played roles as well.

They were outplayed and outcoached as well.

In your dreams Drinksbreak, Vaccine, Timestamp, Cooker, Peeper and Cheater. A few times among many you have crashed and burned. And you do remember the hilarious incident when I had to tell you there was a second season of One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Humiliation upon humiliation.

As for fat…that’s you Cooker. Stupid….yes you, quantitatively illiterate with a limited vocabulary and education. Also cowardly and a loser.

And now showing early signs of mental impairment.

ROFL!

No professional team would ever be unfocused playing in a WC final - EVER

The English team thought they were going to win, were confident they were going to win. after beating the ABs who had easily beaten the Boks they thought they were home free. So much so, that when they lost they scorned their medals. Here’s a typical British press opinion:

“’There is no such thing as a one-sided final, even with New Zealand's dominance in over the last eight years. This game could turn on a red card, a controversial decision, a moment of magic or madness.

But having built so well during this tournament, staying injury free and with the extra intelligence, experience and, let's be honest, the sly element Jones brings to England, we should expect to see captain Owen Farrell lifting the William Webb Ellis Trophy.

England have proved they have absolutely everything in their arsenal and they still have more in the tank. They have the born winners in the likes of Farrell, George Ford and Jamie George and that is another factor in England's favour. They should win.”

‘These fools literally thought George Ford is a winner.

What the media wrote - as quoted by Mozart was media propaganda before the fact, The English team was totally outplayed by the Springboks in the final - both techically and skills wise. To quote an aerticle after claiming a nothing more than propaganda before te final and went sour during the RWC.

The AB's scored two tries against the Sprigboks one of which was a player thta rans tright through a tackle miseed b Mostert and for the rest of the torunament never started in any crucial match in the series, The other try was caused by a defensive error from Mapimpi, In the rest of the tinament only 2 tries by opposing teams were scored - one by Canada and one by Wales,

The Springboks scored many tries - mostly by backline players in attacking play by backline players, Mozart went ballistic on the issue of backline play where he claimed that backline attacks were absent in the case of the Springboks. In 2014 and 2015 the Springboks largely according to Mozart playing "traditional Springbok rugby" - which contained in the main zero real backline attacks and rather entail kicking the shit outt of the ball on a continuous basis, So Mozart claimed in 2019 and ever subsequently played the 2015 style of rugby Mozart praised and he refused to see any differences in the playing style since 2015 used by Erasmus since 2018.

Even the AB commentators after the final stated that if they were in the final the Springoks would have beaten the AB's in the final - but Mozart claimed the exact opposite, Since Erasmus was appointed he went on the attack against Erasmus claiming that SARU made a misttake by the appointment of Erasmus and that SARU should rather have retained Coetzee in that position. Since then - whatever happen in Springbok rugby was maligned and distorted by Mozart continuously,

From the start Mozart claimed White should have been appointed by SARU - something that was never on the cards at all, The saying "one bitten - twice shy" was even worse as in White case the saying was "twice bitten - thrice shy" applied in the case of White,

Since 2018 the refrain has always be repeated by Mozart - Erasmus contribution to wins by the Springboks happened despite Erasmus as coach, The position has been as farcical as only Mozart could believe, So in this case he came up with strings of BS and all suggesting things like the English team lost "focus" in the 2019 WC final. Mozart has had a tendency to lie what actually happen in tests and his version were at best farcical and very funy - because he once claimed he was the best performance evaluator in the world. In many cases his evaluation was so far away from the truth that it could ony be described as BS. In the 2019 he even claimed there was a try-scoring opportunity that was nothing of the sort and in fact dreamed up BS.

The :unfocused stroy is a typical Mozart invention that focussed on the ridiculous and can only be regarded as BS supreme. In the Wales semi the Springboks kicked too many balls and in training before he start of the same impression happened in the pre-matched training. So Jones beleived he knew what was coming and he prepared the English team accordingly. The fact it did not happen was totally different from what actually happened in the final. Anybody who was objective would have been able to identify the difference of playing style in the final was totally different from what Jones and the English team expected to happen and whcich Mozart hmself failed to see.

So the English lost the tight 5 battle and also the loosie forwards and the backline as well. The defense was so strong that at one stage the English commentato said " but there is no way through" just before the scoing of the Kolbe try. The same commentator said the defense of De Allende and Du Toit never allowed the English team getting over the advantage line. But Mozart missed the fact as to be expected from him both De Allende and Du Toit are failures that should never have been in the team.

The problem is that whatsoever Mozart comes up to justify is in fact BS and totally removed from reality,
