As only a few of you have now begun to realise that it’s fruitless to attack the players themselves…the coach,the politics and everything else that applies to the “system” of our rugby is festering and rotten. There is no heart or spirit left in any of the players…AC is not an inspirer of men,not a tutor and a leader amongst men…it is very clear that he is directionless,does not inspire confidence…just look at the body language of the players…I feel there’s very little, if any respect left especially now…the players themselves feel their careers are being destroyed by this man.

 

It needs a complete revolution…perhaps a foreign coach,preferably a NZ one…look at Vern Cotter and Milton Haig…what they can do with “minnow” rugby nations ,namely Scotland and Georgia. But even if SA rugby were clever enough to try and employ either one they would be put off by our idiotic political farces and agendas. At one stage I thought Johan Ackerman might be the answer but now realise that he is wise enough not to want this job until he humbly admits he needs more experience.

 

Mallet does not want the job and besides I don’t think he would right. The real answer would be a coach like Eddie Jones,Vern Cotter, Milton Haig or even John Plumtree but our quota debacle would have to go to attract quality coaches.


And no , we don't need Jake White and his "quick fix" style which will restart the 10 man,crash ball rugby that can be a trap...we need to get back to 15 men/balanced rugby styles of the past glories that Springboks played...NZ wants us like this as well...don't  you AB fans.

 Ummm ... that was the way.
Now it's duck for cover and pray the full 80 passes quickly. 
Then when another loss has been chalked up, point fingers at systems and players not being good enough ... but never ... never ... own up to your incompetence as a coach.
Also, have your apology to the country prepared ahead of time ... and make sure you've practised the disappointed look in the mirror several times over before you go out and face the media. It helps sell your story as a genuinely heartfelt issue.

Now all you have to worry about, Wardad is France...Boks are history, unless somebody or group has gezunkel nuts to start a revolution in SA rugby administation.

Beeno and his mum (Suzie) will be unemployed in their underground activities which will leave you ,Dr Win and your refs in peace...and no more dastardly acts of sabotage against your players

Oh how we will miss you Kiwi birds.

I've always been a fan of AB and French rugby...I will most definitely drop SA...they cannot be Boks under the present situation...dignity,ethics,pride and integrity missing...might become an AB supporter...no strain on the old ticker...France is very bad for the heart...SA is no contender
