Sack Meyer now

This EOYT has confirmed how utterly useless the man is as a coach.  The selection of washed up has beens or never beens like Jean, Hendricks, Fourie, Olivier, Morne, du Preez, Pienaar, Jannie, Steenkamp,  Matfield, Bakkies, Louw and Alberts has hindered the progression of the Boks,  but the biggest culprit is our out if touch coach who can't select, is hell bent on selecting the old and knows little about how modern day test rugby is won. Losing to Ireland and Wales is just simply not good enough.

Sack Meyer now before its too late for our WC hopes.

Bok fuck up........let me guess you are one of the ignorant twats stupid enough to blame Hougaard.

Fact is the youngsters have been our best players all year by some distance......the issues with Boks lie in players like Jean, Morne, Pienaar, Steenkamp, Jannie, Matfield, Bakkies and Alberts who were great some years back but their mediocrity these days is costing us big time.

Hell the coach is too stupid to notice this, we have the players themselves throwing in the towel knowing full well they no longer can contribute at the highest level. Thank goodness for Bakkies and Fourie making the calls themselves.

One has to wonder if our hysterical coach has learnt anything this tour - my guess is no

Venter has not signed a long term deal with the Sharks and speculating that he would not want the job is laughable. Mallett is unattached, has a rugby brain unlike Meyer, give him the job. Mallett is FAR FAR better than useless Meyer.

Who gives a shit if a Kiwi coach has won a S15 title or not? Had Schmidt the current coach of Ireland. Kiwi's are better coaches than SA'ns........our coaches are pathetically conservative........give the job to a Kiwi I say.

Sack clueless Meyer NOW, before its too late  

Eish

Keo is a fucking idiot, worst rugby writer I have come across in years, evidenced by the pathetic side he selected for next years WC......., it had all the washed up hasbeen's including Danie Rossouw.

The true test will be this RC - wonder what all these clowns will be saying after we lose all our tests against Oz and NZ

Dave, I am just as pissed as you with our latest performance but let's at least still posts facts

Cool, considering you say you are never wrong, as above, I assume this was a guess on your part then

All good

Saffex, I understand some of your frustrations but sacking a coach at the 11th hour is foolish...imho he is not my choice ...mediocre and sound some times in the basics...he is Currie Cup Coach or a borderline super series one...SA rugby needs a very bright one and sharp, an extremely good public relations person too...tough, direct, intuitive and an bluntly honest must be added. HM has a few of these but the main ingredient of planning differently and creatively a long time before the world cup...I have given him credit for some qualities but not for this...but the biggest problem I have with him is he is not strong enough...a man must had intuitive vision to take risks and inspire...all EXCEPTIONAL COACHES have this...he is a middle of the road guy...and not a driven fanactic...he plays the safe game and is not a frontline general if you get my meaning.

If we really knew what happened behind the scenes regarding what is in or  out of Meyer's control, I reckon it would change quite a few perspectives on here

Including yours Saffex 

Rubbish CC

Name a worthy replacement then  

I don't doubt he needs all the help he can get CC, but I do doubt that he is getting it all the time

The daily obstacles a South African coach, of all international coaches, has to endure, is a game changer is a lot of ways 

Agreed Dave

I just think there is more to behind the scenes than we know about, thats all I am saying.

When you read these autobiographies after these coaches leave at some point in their careers, it's interesting to hear how sometimes there hands are tied to some degree.

I do still think that SA coaches face far more  unique obstacles compared to other international coaches to a certain degree 

Gavin Rich's book "The Poison Chalice" is an eye opener - its about all the coaches post isolation.....he spent time with all of them. Meyer did not even want the job, he hates the attention it draws on his kids, they take flack for Bok losses through social media etc.

He wont stay post WC is my guess. Lets hope not  

I haven't read that Dave, will try to

As I said, we don't always know what happens behind the scenes which obviously hinders or affects the coach in some capacity.

Which is a pity really
