Coaches Deon Carney and Joe Maliale were sacked for being fans of the ABS by the Griqualand West rugby union.Carney had played rugby in NZ for 3 years and professed to being a fan of the ABs style of rugby but still supporting the Boks .SARU said they needed more patriotic coaches but Carney has asked what that has to do with his coaching ability .
Thoughts from our Saffa friends ?
So SA not open to employing kiwi coaches then? . Personally you get the best Coaches regardless of Nationality. Crusaders got Ronan O'Gara. Shields prob going to play for England in the June Series Againgst the Boks. Its the professional era.
PRetty sure some think Boks should hav a kiwi coach. Not neccessarily a coach who has coached the Abs. Joe Schmidt for example.
I for one thinks that there have been duds coaching SA for the past decade - any NZ coach would be a 100% improvement on Snorre, Meyer and Coetzee. Tee bar set by those three coaches were very low and satisfactory coaches would already mean a 100% improvement =good coaches would represent a 1000% improvement.
Would you guys say that your schoolboys/juniors are world class with many fine young black players but something goes wrong-ish by the time they get to Currie Cup Super level with many black players falling by the wayside ? Its just something I have seen said from time to time ,true or no ?
We must have the thickest planks in the world that are involved in rugby, we all know we have the thickest politicians in the entire world.

:Crash-ball, pod rugby taught at schools is destroying the game in SA. They don't get taught spe cial awareness and decision making skills.
Holy Moly if this is indeed true then after all this it's back to square one.
My own point of view is that Saffas never learn, in fact seriously they cannot learn...they are far too thick and repeat robotic mistakes over and over.
This is absolutely pathetic. It's hard to a South African patriot when we act like the thickest planks in the world.
Hell we are thick and I'm embarrassed.
Andre Vos wrote on twitter that SA school coaches are coaching crashball style at schools...hol;y moly, are we that thick, heaven forbid...gone are the days of the Skonk Nicholson's.

Childish!
We should always have an open, teachable approach to everything in life.
I would appeal this stupidity.
Blueblob its just your typical thought police at work, surprised you noticed it.
have said for over a decade now we were being out thought. There is a long list of problems but many are matter there is no will to address and others li ke exchange rates are beyond the cure of rugby officials.
Aag, how stupid.
Severe case of paranoia
Well I'm a massive fan of AB rugby.
I just don't support them.
You can't be a fan of the game without being a fan of its best teams. Else you're just a patriot.
The AB s vs The Brit Lions was the best rugby any of us have seen for five years now.
Who on earth isn't a fan of that?
Beaten to it. SA coaches punished for crime thought.
Would be way better to punish them for assault on basic computation. Being unable to count up to seven is a different beast from supporting ABs.
