Out of date tactics,provincial bias,favouratism and blind to modern day trends,the hallmark of John Williams reign as Springbok coach.He failed to unify a group of players who often retreated to provincial cacoons and team selections often critisized for being biased to picking players Northern Transvaal.

 

fast forward to 2012.Any of that sound familier.When people tell you that they don't relate to this Springbok team because of the ridiculous amount of Bulls players in the squad and you have situations where certain provincial unions are labelled as 'costing us the match' you have a problem.Just like many white South Africans don't relate to Bafana Bafana due to the lack of white players in the team,well this Heyneke Moron is ruining the brand of the Springbok.I watched the game with a Bulls fan and a SHark fan,arguing to and fro about players who should be in the team and those who shouldn't,purely plain and simple,this biasedly selected team,is not reflective of our best players and fails to gain public support as a result.This is becoming as bad as the backlash the Proteas often experience after an ICC tournament failure.There are Stormers and SHarks fans who miss Springbok games and don't care,they've lost interest.I know a guy who has found more interest in Argentina's games than the Boks,Although Argentina have become everyone's second team.
