Tony Brown on Rassie

The AB's gained momentum and looked far more energised than the Boks resulting in the disallowed try, it's a pity we'll never know if they'd have won with a full side.

Just my take.

Moolaa

Let me explain one thing.   Fouie used to be a hooker playing for the Stormers - but for years was used by them as a loosie,   He had one serious failure  - his throw-ins of  the balls at line-outs were totally absent and the Springboks lost irtually all the line-outs when he threw the ball in.

You may not know it - but the Hooker stabilize the scrumming and can cnfirm what   Dave said is 100% true -  without a strong hooker scrums became a nightmare as well.

Erasmus made a total balls-up by having Forie in the WC squad and not 3 real hookers who played in that position for years,    

It was like a friend of mine who served in the SA navy in WW2 said they had a song  containing a sentence "the gods were kind - they left the officers behind".   That in  perhaps why what happened in the final last year in Paris.  

So I think - fate decide on issues and whatsoever  happened is past tense and meaningless  nd only petty minded people do not accept the  fact the Springboks won the trophy in 2023.  I categorize the 4 times the Springboks won the WC on the ollowing basis:-

First 2019  - Second 1995 - Third   2023 - Fourth 2007. 

There are veruy sound resons for that.    In that therer were 5 key players that w on the 2023 final  for the Springboks in that match - namely Pollard, Du Toit, Etzebeth, De Allende and Kolisi in that order..

"Other coaches that can also be good is Franco Smith, Dobbo, Jake White, Ivan van Rooyen, Johan Ackermann and maybe even Heyneke Meyer who is now at the Housten sabercats."

I iwll classify the above coaches into 2 categories:-

Good coaches  -   Franco Smith

Reasonable coaches  -   Dobbo and perhaps Ackerman plus Van  Rooyen 

Supershit fired by teams they coached -  White and Meyer,

I see the Rassie bashers still trying desperately to recover some credibility. Unfortunately the more drivel they post the more they destroy themselves.

If the Boks were so lucky to win the final how come they won the two tests played here in South Africa making it 4 in a row I believe. 

Anybody thinking a hooker is not important in a scrum is a rugby noob. 

Any body thinking Rassie is not step by step renewing the Bok squad is a ignorant loon. 

Anybody still trying to argue Rassie isn't a great coach is a Clown.

Whenever Rassie comes up in articles, on You Tube videos etc it is acknowledged he is a great ciach

Unfortunately as fate would have it we have ended up with a few crazies who simply have no clue whatsoever. 

Mozzietard saying Stick with Moz has become a laughing stock. What an absurd idea. Hahahahahaha. 

Nope these crazies have repeatedly crashed and burned reoeatedly and nobody with any sense takes them seriously. They should just take off and go and support the wee abs being the turn oats they are. 

Beeno setting the record dead straight and hoping the bent loons straighten out but obviously that is a forlorn hope given the stupidity, bias and bigotry at play. 

Mozart has now for a year now is moaning that the Springboks is a disaster and hey did not really won the WC in 2023  and my advice to him is to stop mourning about the fact and try to get over the fact that  Erasmus was appoined as head of Rugby in SA ahead of White and Coetzee - or his idol Meyer.

His repetitive BS always writing the same thing every second day. is really boring and  find something new about rugby.  A year of mouning after th e Springboks won the  2023 RWC is surely long enough
