Here are the win stats since 2004, points scored for and against and tries scored per season. Look at the the downward trend each coach has had in his third year, it suggests to me that our coaches don't bring anything new during their tenure, they pick a side, ride them into the ground and don't evolve as time goes by, WHite was lucky in 2007 with the opposition he face during the RWC, PDV was not so lucky, Meyer isn't going to be lucky as is opponents will be the top teams from the QF.

Part of the stats quoted is not visible due to adverts.
But the stats reveal something else - and that is the WC year was s tatistically a huge improvement on 2006.   Will the same happen next year?
Not so sure about that one.  Meyr has the inherent ability not to see when  againg players start deteriorating in performance and his "experienced" players is likely to be ou downfall.   Talking about playing players into the ground - Meyer did it.   
Have you forgotten - De Villiers was the coah in name only - the real bugger-up was made by the senior players - who ran th e show and self-destructed.

MIke, yeah sorry about the ads blocking the stats, I do not know how to fix it.


The 2007 stats look good because we had 7 wins in the RWC, had we not that year would have been a complete failure.


And yes, PDV did not run the plays, that is why it concerns me that Meyer and his "old guard" is still running the show.

Are you sure you have the temrinologuy right?   Is it not "ruining the show" ?

Your table should be narrower

(thus leaving space for the advert column)

if you change it into a portrait layout with

the different years at the bottom.

I saw Meyer trying to use this as an excuse. However this is not enough data to be statistical significant. (i.e, a trend or pattern).

Look at Pdivvy stats. He actually did worse in the 4th year than in the 3rd year.....Div  never really hada good year other than 2009.

Meyers stats are about the same in the 1st year as the 3rd year. 
Jake White did badly in his 3rd year.

Steve Hansen, on the other hand, has had a pretty useful third year.
