From one clown to another. I think not. Eddie would be the better of the two clowns, for what it's worth.

For an insider it's also entertaining at times :) Aliastair Coetzee would be a big improvement. He as Shite's assistant and has done amazingly well. He is humble, and brings in people where he things the squad needs help, Heyneke Meyer is the man, but fire a black guy and replace him with...

Replacements? We would do better with White, but that would not happen. My choice (and most Saffers) would be Heyneke Meyer of the Bulls. Alistair Coetzee or Rassie Erasmus would be good too.

Can't adapt to rules. Can't make cohesive selections decisions. Can't spot talent. Can't replicate what Super 14 coaches have done under the rules. Can't get the Bulls and Stormers players to buy into one game strategy. Can't manage player fitness and conditioning. Can't take any risks. Can't...

Finally something to fill the emptiness of an entire 80m of wall at the ARU offices. I went in there the other day and my breathing echoed. :)

PdV has come out today and said there is nothing wrong with the Bok's defense and it's "all systems go" for the World Cup. Also looks like his job is safe as there will be no real inquiry.

Great player. After Dagg the best "up and comer" for NZ this year in my book. Made some searing runs in the ITM Cup this year and covers the paddock very well. Style similar to Jerry but without the bonecrunchers (unless I have missed them). One of those players I love watching.

Uhm, on that score I was actually being serious.

I agree one hundred per cent. Search the forum for my many, many elaborate comments on PdV and for the surprise that Burger was not cited. I lay claim to the "most vocal about PdV" award at the end of the year and I suspect nobody will come even close. But I was referring to the softness of his...

What a stupid post. So following that logic Benn Robinson, who got pinged three times for not realeasing the tackled player is also a blight on the game. If I am correct about which Pietersen incident you are referring to, you need glasses. If there is any "blight" it is the Finger two...

Wallaby fans will put the score at half time down to great attack in the first 40. Most bok fans are fuming over the bad Bok defense. I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. The Bok defense just does not look well drilled like it did in 2009. I watched the first half again and the...

There is some fantastic talent running around in the CC. It's the best quality CC rugby I have seen in years. The fans also seem to be voting with their feet.

Best, most even handed reffing all Tri Nations.

The same players did just fine in Super Rugby adapting to the new interpretations. This team is badly coached, especially in defense. Do we have the players? I think we do.

I don't need another look. I am not denying that the Wallabies and All Black attack has been incredible at times. But something is very wrong with the Bok defense. That much is plain to see. We have had a terrible missed tackle count all 3N. A large part of that is great attack. Fair enough...

Moral of the story: You can't got down by 31 and expect to win. As Smit said after the game, they canlt rely on character alone. I would love to hear the coaching staff's explanation as to why we have 100% the same defensive flaws in the first half as last week. It's not like these are...

I hope the Sharks have learnt from Ruan. Spencer mentoring a flyhalf? I hope Carlos teaches him all the stuff he didn't do too well. Like tackling and when not to try a banana kick. Could do worse though, he is lucky to have that sort of looking after.

More like a cross dresser's stage name. :)

Rusty we need to pray to the flyhalf gods. The same ones who have delivered great looking young tens to us over the years only for them to turn into average players as they get a bit older. Jantjes looks very good to me. Fearless.
