All our local teams has so much young player talent and it would be a pity if they get set in this forward dominated play. It’s like a stigma hanging on looks like all of sa rugby. Maybe we need a fresh start with international coach on board?

Nonsense….the Bools pass and offload.
Last weekend the Boks kicked 38 times, passed 65 times and offloaded 1 time. They ran 64 times….made 2 clean breaks and beat 15 defenders.
The Bools kicked 23 times, passed 134 times, offloaded 10 times and ran 113 times….made 3 clean breaks and beat 18 defenders.
So one can say the Bools were not effective running against Leinster, but they certainly tried. And they passed and ran much more of the time than the Boks.
And 10 offloads to 1…..case closed.

No other team anywhere plays like the Boks do. Not anyone of the Josè teams. The Stormers uses to though, they too relied on defence and had very poor attacking play. But, we now have "experts" telling us that the Wallabies beat us with our Lions series blueprint, and we changed our game and lost. This is how utterly clueless the think tank is in South Africa. If that's how stupid the leading minds are in our rugby, how much thicker are the people who listen to them? But it's the gospel truth, because the big man on za televisya sayink so. I should have done my case study in psychology on a rugby forum and SA rugby. Authority and conformity.

Nienaber has never been a head coach before. He has always been in the position to flourish as a assistant coach. Not really having to carry the pressure burden of a head coach. So maybe he needs more time just in his new role. If not him who do you suggest should get the job?

The sooner you comprehend that nothing has changed, the better. Nienaber is doing exactly what he has always done, the only difference is that he is dealing with the public. That's it. As for who to replace Josè Erasmus? Ackermann or Jake. Preferably Jake.

Jake is doing ok I guess at the bulls....but that said in the urc we will have to see how good he really is. It is astounding how good European rugby has become. Our best local teams is just getting hammered....it is a fast pace brand of rugby there so I hope all of our teams adapt quick.
