Coaching Super 15 teams is a heavy gamble for any coach and this year the list of coaches vanishing from the scene is really getting embarrassing.   We have lready got the following losses and it may not be the end:-


Kirwan        -   Blues

Coetzee      -   Stormers

Drotske       -   Cheetahs

Ludeke        -   Bulls


Who else is on the list of goners?   Those who may have gone already (and I missed out on) or likely candidates for replacement are from the following franchises:-


The Reds

The Rebels

The Force

The Crusaders


I am not sure whether any of the last four squad coaches has been changed already - I have not followed the news closely enough - so some comments will be welcome.


I think that Gold may also be in trouble at the Sharks - but they are going to appoint a Head coach in any event and replacement of the assistant-coaches is on the cards as well.


Coaching in the NH is an equally thankless occupation and White will have one season to prove himself or he will also be jobless by June next year.

The assistant coaches should be as much under the spotlight as the coaches.


Many are critical of Heynecke Meyer, but nobody has anything to say about his assistant coaches. What value does an utterly useless like Ricardo Loubscher bring to the Boks?

You are more than right in this case.   I do not think enough credit is given to Eddie Jones in respect of the 2007 WC - he knows more about backline play than any other assistant ever appointed by the national coach.   
Loubscher knows nothing about backline play and is a seriously defective appointment.   Coupled to that the attack coac h is also an ex-forward and that is the kiss of death of backline play by any SA side.
