time for a revolution in game plan

decent read in my view

all you need to read is this bit... and I love the mention of the Cheetahs players. All are great potentials for our squad.

Put us in the hands of Johan Goosen, Pat Lambie, JP Pietersen, Francois Hougaard (playing his natural game), Frans Steyn, Heinrich Brussow, Marcell Coetzee, Siya Kolisi and the like. You could throw in at least three of the young Cheetah brigade too (Ash Johnson, Piet Van Zyl, Willie Le Roux, Robert Ebersohn), for that matter – they understand. They are able to play the kind of creative hybrid (not all-out running) rugby that has made us the force we have been for 130 years. Whenever we have had the right mix of brawn and brains we've excelled.

For Morne Steyn, Pierre Spies, Wynand Olivier and Zane Kirchner, the Springbok journey must surely be over. And while I am sure that they are great guys, role models and indeed terrific Super Rugby professionals, the Boks need a step change. There are players not getting opportunities, who are better, full stop. And better suited to the way we need to be playing.

The Sharks' brand that destroyed the Reds was built on what I’m talking about. It was built around halfbacks and flare-filled loose forwards who pass at the right time to the right people. They attacked the gainline. Michalak, McLeod and Tim Whitehead were massive. They counter-attacked with joy and they played rugby with smiles on their faces.

They were a credit to all that is great in SA Rugby.

jip gareth cant agree more buddy
