Bokke coach ...
-
Rassie’s already been appointed. Has been for months. Just waiting for the formal announcements. Buh-bye Allister.
-
Allister is gonzo.
South Africa Rugby, Springboks official twitter account announces:
BREAKING: SA Rugby had reached an agreement with Allister Coetzee to part ways with immediate effect. The Rugby Department of SA Rugby will manage the responsibilities of the Bok coach until the coaching and management group for 2018 is confirmed later this month.

Has Rassie been comfirmed yet...?
-
Gavin Rich has a commentary how Rassie could pave the way for . . . John Mitchell.
(Post-RWC. Says it might take a couple years.)

A long journey?

@tim Do you think the Blues management will be targeting him for next year if things don't go well for Tana?
He's certainly an "unusual character" - I read his book and can't recall all the details that led to that conclusion, but it was extremely firm by the end.
I will watch his progress at the Bulls with interest!

You seem to have an affection for polarising figures promoted to coaching positions they don't deserve and aren't remotely qualified for - what are your thoughts on David Kidwell?

Will be interesting to see how Mitch goes at the Bulls.
He seemed to do pretty well with the US team and he's now in his mid-50s compared with being late-30s as AB coach, so you'd hope he's learned a bit in the interim.
So you reckon he'll be taking sessions with the fullbacks to make sure they are holding the ball correctly when they run?
I think he's proved he is a locker room c.a.n.c.e.r.

I'm astonished he continues to get work even if it appears the most difficult aspect of professional coaching is getting that first head coach appointment.
He must interview well.

He was the Hammetteur before Hammett!

Venter, the Boks backline coach, who is also the head coach of the Cheetahs, was asked by Rassie to choose one or the other, he ended up choosing the Cheetahs gig.
That's the type of commitment the Boks need to get rid of - Good start.
Rassie being picked up was a good choice from the Old Boy's Club, and solves one of the 3 main problems of Springbok rugby.

t famous p
I apologise, I meant Franco Smith, not Venter. Venter is the Part time Bok defensive consultant, he's also employed by Italy, and sat in the Italy box when playing SA for the past 2 years as defensive consultant?

Looks like Hammer's influence on the Canes may be waning - and Mitch is away to a flyer!

Waning? That was a very Hammetteur like performance, the closest they've come to that since Boyd took over, that will see them not make the semis.
Re: Mitchell, we know the wheels will fall of soon, he's good for nearly 12 months before he loses the dressing room.
