Heynecke Meyer

I cannot contain my utter, not frustration, but anger at what I have just seen..... The last 2 weeks Meyer and co has blamed our loses as lack of experience going into the last 20min of the game. This week we had some of the experience back, in JDV.... Now this is not a stab at him, I admire the courage he has shown coming back from the injury he suffered... But.... And a huge BUT..... The last 2 games we "lost it in the last 20min, IMO, that was the two best mid field performances I have witnessed in the green and gold in the last couple of years... We attacked the line, the most experienced and celebrated centre pairing in the history of the sport "all blacks", were in all honestly no where... Graham henry make an early sub with over 30min to go, took off one of those centers, and no more tries.... Our mid field has looked (for lack of a better word) SHIT, but yet no change.... Yes its great to show continued support, but why? Why now??? U didn't show support to the younters who actually got you into a winning position against far stronger teams, instead you blame inexperience and made changes... I would love to see what you blame it on now cause the experienced did absolutely nothing today!!!!!

I'm beginning to think he's getting paid on the side to lose?
I mean,do we have anything like this in our history?
As chicken say's P de Villiers would have done better with much less than he's got available :blush:

Congrats chicken - I hope you didn't just say it tongue in cheek - did you put the chicken and the chips on the result?
The +18.5 handicap was a joke, but the + 12.5 at 9/4 was very tasty and never a sweat.
Meyer is, and always has been, a absolute joke. Is it at all possible for him to do the honorable thing and resign immediately - we cannot do worse with any other new coach in the world cup.

fingers Meyer will never resign as he in his own mind is blameless for all the Boks shortcomings. They have only won 4 and lost 7 of their last 11 matches. For a team in the standing of South Africa this is just unacceptable. Maybe the guy who put him in the job in the first place wants the team to fail and that's why he wont be sacked. Sad to see such a great rugby team going down the tubes because of one or two people

What is the point of calling up players just to train with the squad and never give them a game. Burger is not a number 8. Yesterday the fringe players should have started and let these guys who are aiming at JUST one more world cup come off the bench. Plenty youth coming through that are simply not getting a chance.

Has he done the decent thing yet and resigned? If only he could coach with as much passion as he shows when he blasts out the national anthem.

@Karma...Steve Hansen is the All Blacks coach now...

No amount of passion can overcome arrogance coupled with some ignorance... may just have to teach the daughter another anthem for this World Cup...she'll learn it a lot quicker than HM has learnt that the way rugby has played has moved on from the time he had success with the Blou Bulle about a decade ago...

I see that even though we are playing away, got beaten last week and have made wholesale changes to the team, Hollywood still has the Springboks at -4.5 to beat the Argentinians this Saturday.

you dropped the smiley?

Still think that I am too harsh on Meyer. Samoa will eat this team next week. Told you to keep the plane engines running.

Boks are all balls
