LIVERPOOL 2 CARDIFF 1
Good win.Its our Cup after All
CHELSEA AND ARSENAL are also through. Wengers litys keep on moving.Good to see Sheva back on scoresheet.
And Hows the Jake White saga. Ridiculous.They did the same thing to Jake as they did to Clive Barker
Stevie G scores 3 goals in the 3 games since he got subbed….. Is Senor Rafa now a genius…..
ReplyDeleteAs a South African I am not only dissapointed with the loss of our great coach Jake White but also embarresed that the idiots running the administration and rugby in RSA are getting away with this despite national outcry from most of South Africans of all ethnic groups. They think they are bigger than the game and have no understanding at all what a great feat it is to achieve such a title as the Rugby WC. The world, please understand very clearly that it is not South Africa who fired Jake White but the administrators who seem adamant that our rugby should be like our national soccer side, a shambles. Good luck Jake White and all of the World Cup winners of the SA rugby side with your future. Whatever descion you make on your future, good for you. Sadly & hurt SA Rugby fan, Derick
ReplyDeleteAs a full hearted South African I have the right to speak up. Fact of the matter is that it is ALL to do with politics and nothing with rugby. White refuses to pick unmeritted non-white players and rightly so. This is not a play ground game, but professional. The Goverment is pushing for 10 non white players in team per game, why is this only the case in rugby??? It is an absolute disgrace. Do not get me wrong, if all 15 players are non white, but picked on merit, every South African will be more than 100% behind team. If this does go through, there will be a massive exodus of players from South Africa. It is just a complete and utter nightmare, SA RUGBY AND ADMIN ARE A DISGRACE AND A BUNCH OF MONKEYS
ReplyDeleteWith regard to Jake White, really what is the controvesy. In all honesty all he did was know who his best 15 were and played them more consistently than the other teams. He brought in Eddie Jones who i think actually won the World cup for SA. The only top team they played was england and they were crap. You cant fault them for who they had to play in the final but im pretty sure had it been either France, New zealand or Australia they would have lost. They weren't there so they beat england. All he did was just play normal rugby and nothing more. He hasnt done anything to take our game to a higher level. and anyways for all the non whites that were in the squad only 2 contributed to them winning. Personally i think he took the other black players along cause he knew he wasnt going to need them. Well done saru.
ReplyDeleteI understand the country and okes being upset with Jake quitting and the whole handling of his contract but i have to ask: Should a coach stay on after winning the World Cup?
ReplyDeleteWhat motivation does he has to win, he has achieved all that there is for a coach to achieve. Look at what happened when Woodward stayed on at Eng after the WC. He left them in a mess and then quit leaving them in a problem.
It happens so often in football, Lippi, Jacquet, Perreira, Bilardo, Beckenbauer just to name a few. Once you have achieved the ultimate what more is there left for you to do. Football coaches have a million more options as there is still clubs who'd die for their services.
I reckon Jake should take on a true challenge which is to take over at the Cats/Lions and then coach us to Super 14 glory. That would make him a true master. I'm sure Azee agrees with me too.
Kamikaze Warrior why dont you rather shut up if you dont have anything to say, you seem brainless and dont have a clue as to what happened! typical armchair critic who knows F@#k all about rugby! Jake proved his worth to all, i ask should we have rather won the world cup or lost the cup by playing non-worthy black players? he played the best there was!
ReplyDeleteWHOS BETTER THAN SHALK BERGER?
ReplyDeleteWHOS BETTER THAN FRANCIOUS STEYN?
WHOS BETTER THAN VICTOR MATFIELD?
WHOS BETTER THAN JOHN SMIT?
COMMON THIS WAS THE BEST POSSIBLE TEAM PUT TOGETHER! THAT DEFIED SA RUGBY AND WON THE WORLD CUP!
PLAYERS SHOULD BE PICKED ON MERIT, WHY DONT WE MAKE A NOISE AS TO TRANSFORMATION IN SOCCER? IS SOCCER ONLY FOR BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS? NOT 1 PRESS RELEASE ON SOCCER GOING THROUGH TRANSFORMATION WHY? THATS WHY OUR SOCCER IS IN THE STATE THAT IS IN
Kamikaze Warrior, YOUR BLADY BUM,
ReplyDeleteITALY DIDNT PLAY ARGENTINA OR BRAZIL IN THE WORLD CUP SO ARE THEY NOT WORTHY CHAMPIONS?
Firstly soccer is a sport contested by over 8 nations unlike Rugby where there are but 5. My concern is not that there was lack of transformation or anything on that side but simply that as a coach all he did was play his best team which the other teams didn't. You have to also admit that playing Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, USA and the english twice is hardly worthy of the god like status that he is getting. Yes they won the games and won the WC but its not as if he had a tuff time doing it. Cmon people he is just an average coach and even if he had to stay on he would have gotten whipped in the tri nations and beaten the likes of wales, scotland and ireland. is that what we want or do we want to try and get a coach who is going to add a new dimension to or game so that we may take on the likes of a full strength new zealand or australia and give them a hiding.
ReplyDeletesam i agree 100%.
ReplyDeletekamikaze is an ass.
Kamikaze
ReplyDeleteIn a World Cup you can only win the games you play. So if we never got to play Aus of France or the Blacks it's because they weren't good enough to win the games they played!
Kamikaze Warrior, thats being silly and stupid! its people like you that will hold the country and people back in the past and have only negative statements to make! For fuck sake they deserve credit and give it when its due. The boks played with heart and spirit that no other team had or shown
ReplyDeleteI think there is more to this issue. Hoskins says white is portraying himself as a martyr when he aint. The truth is white has not done alot for transformation. he gave a raw deal to Kabamba floors, waylon murray, hanyani shimange, that is the truth.
ReplyDeleteseth, loffie is king we dont need jake!
