      Thanks for taking the win Wales. This means we'll have another coaching team in the new year.

      Are there any tier 1 coaches out there willing to risk their career in the position where their biggest threat comes from within South African policy? No takers? Early rumours indicate Peter de Villiers is the front runner for the job (yes, seriously)

      SA doesn't have the coaching talent, and with the restrictive policies in place, you can be sure that foreign talent will remain exactly that.

      SARU boys club are well and truly in a hole now since Coetzee refuses to resign, and without a performance clause in his contract, the cash strapped union will have to buy him out as he is only 2 years into his 4 year contract.

      At least it's a healthy team environment!

      You're going to have to choose soon SARU - pleasing the ANC, or staying relevant.

        Keohane says that's incorrect. Spelling error.

        "They have interpreted it wrong. It is Pieter (with an i.e.) the SA born former French prop who will join Rassie as scrum coach. Not Peter (er) former coach."

          Hopefully, however, the article goes on to say that they are also looking at installing the current Kings coach, Davids as the Boks coach, you know the same outfit that is currently 0-10 on the Pro14 log. How's that for Window Dressing

          Yup.. .Bok coach material that:

            He has got them firing well in the PA category, leading that category rather comfortably so maybe he might fit in to the role nicely.

                It must be a piss take article because he is also mentioned. Thing is, news24 is a legit news site? Who knows. Maybe SARU cant afford to sack Coetzee, rendering all this talk moot.

                Guess we'll throw the Home nations a bone for a while. And Italy. And Japan.

                How long Does it take to get NZ citizenship again?

                  That's the spirit! The man has passion. And he's not a quitter.

                  Coetzee remains defiant: I will not resign

                    We're going to have to wait until next year. (At least.)

                      Fwiw, Keohane is still insisting Rassie takes over as Director and Head Coach.
