Apart from the ABs in Sept its an ornery itinerary ............... pity.
The November tests yet to be confirmed...I'm sure Ireland and France will be in the mix...and we almost always play England...a team who is improving and not far off the pace...
Saffex...team manager wouldn't be a bad gig either.
By the way the French sid they are scheduled to play SA on 8 November 2025 - but there has been no confirmation of that test yet. - but since S A played Scotland, Wales and Englad in 2023 it is likely that the tests would be ag ainst Ireland and Italy in 2025. .
High stress job, I wouldn't want it.
Middle management
Nearly put poor Heyneke in his grave
He wasn’t arrogant enough…wanted to please.
Ja it takes a certain type. Dave just might actually like it. Telling everyone to fuck off at press conferences would surely be a bonus.
Get real for a change - beefie Erasmus took over from Coetzee the Springbokd were self-destructing and their top ecperienced playes were demoralized ttotally In their last test aude Coetzee the pringboks lost against Italy.
To be quite frank both Meyer and Coetzee was shit coaches and that was proven by thefact that both were afterwars fired by their clubs because they were destroying their clubs, I always think that he people now atacking Erasmus rarely said anything about criticzing them and now are dily arracking Erasmus. Why wonde hatcaused that?
Erasmus started by remotivating the playe he inherited and rebuild the eam that four mnths later beat the AB's in Wellington and in 2019 was reponsible for the Springboks inning the 2019 EWC. That was ollowed b citories against the BRI Lins and by winning RWC in 2023 and is now the undispued nuber 1 rugb team in the world and nothing his site critics on site can take thata way from Erasmus achoevements as a coach.
Erasmus can earn the biggest salary ever by a Rugby Coacj ub the world aif he leves the Spin gboks to ciach another team znd I agree with Dave in this case. .
Personally I’d vote for Dave. After all he is in synch with Harrassmiss on most issues, except a few, where is right and Harrassmiss is wrong. And while they are about the same weight, Dave is cheaper by the pound. Save money and pick Saffolk to take us to our next WC.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news Dave, but he is just smidge taller than you….I’m going for weight equality.
I didn’t want to say that….but I know the feeling my grandsons tower over me.
That my friend is the great mystery.
"Dave just might actually like it. Telling everyone to fuck off at press conferences would surely be a bonus."
Do you really think he will be this polite.....
Honestly Dave ….oblivion and by the time one goes, it probably won’t seem so bad. As one of my granddaughters said at 6 years, after being told our dog had died because it was very old….’that’s why you have to be so very careful not to get old’.
