- PDV had a fallout with Francois Steyn, which, in my books, is bad player management. If Steyn had been there since the beginning of the Tri-Nations, it would have been a different story.
- Why did it take PDV 6 games to realise that Francois Hougaard needs to start ahead of Ricky Januarie? BAD SELECTION
- Why was Spies not dropped for Kankowski? Instead, Spies gets his undroppable status, while Kankowski gets shoved into another position he doesn't play, then proceeds to be dropped for not performing.
- Why was Jean de Villiers on the wing??? WTF???
- Why, against New Zealand, when our two best players in Juan Smith and Francois Hougaard, does the coach decide to substitute them at such a crucial point in the match?
- John Smit was struggling against New Zealand, but the coach refuses to bring on Chilliboy, and we all know who missed the tackle on Nonu. Then against Australia, Smit playes his heart out, but then the coach decides to bring
Chilliboy on? WTF?
- We concede 4 tries in 30 minutes against Australia, which should have set alarm bells off, triggering a VERY STRICT attention to defensive practice before the next test. What happens? We concede 4 tries in 20 minutes a week later!!!!
- Gio Aplon and Juan de Jongh have blinders against New Zealand, then both get dropped for the Australia tests?
-Clearly, we suffered BIG TIME at the breakdown against New Zealand, pointing out that we desperately need a fetcher to counter Pocock a week later. What happens? Our fetcher gets dropped from the entire 22 and we have 2 number 8's in the back-row. WTFFFFFFFFFFF
- Habana costs us 17 points against Australia, as well as constantly going for intercepts, causing a New Zealand try as well. Does Aplon play ahead? No. Then Habana proceeds to gift Australia another 14 points in the final test. ONLY THEN DOES THE COACH SUBSTITUTE HIM.
I guess you are right. It's not poor coaching at all is it?
