Poor coaching has a knock on effect... We can not expect to have players playing for the national team when we end dead last is the local competition.

I stongly believe that if we were 1st players like Tshituka, Sadie, Simelane, Maxwane and even Odendaal would have been involved with the Boks. But they will not get a chance to prove themselves at international level because the team they represent is underperforming. How many Springboks did we have at the start of 2014? I can only think of Elton Jantjies... Then we were losing finalists and went on to be unbeaten in the 2015 campaign and in 2016 all of a sudden we had numerous Springboks, mostly players snubbed by other unions. This is also why we are losing quality players. They know that they have to play for a winning team to be able to get noticed... So our players are not getting picked by the boks because we are underperforming, they leave, we get even worse, more players leave etc. etc.... We need a good quality coach and management to stop this cycle, get the players to buy into a game plan and believe in themselves.... Then we will start winning again and our players will be called up to the national team and we will attract better players etc... very true, look at Wikus van Heerden, he was never mentioned as a possible springbok until he joined the Bulls Back in the dark days we pretty much only had Jaques Fourie in the Bok squad, until he left as well.

Many of the guys playing now we're the 'potential stars one day' but have obviously not performed. I still believe with a better coach these guys could be great. 

Die coach maak die grootste verskil. Kyk maar toe Jake White by Strauli en Rassie by Alister as coach oorgeneem by die Springbokke. Die Springbok spelers het skielik verander van die slegste spelers in die wereld na van die bestes in die wereld. "n Coach is net so belangrik as 'n CEO by 'n maatskappy. Die Coach maak seker dat daar die regte motivering by die span is en dat spelers in hulle self glo en dus minder foute maak. Daai foute is agv van druk op die spelers en die coach wat nie die spelers die nodige self vertroue gegee het om hulle beste te lewer en minder foute te maak en om span saam te speel en vir mekaar te speel. Veral in die geval van jong spelers is daar min coaches wat goed met hulle kan werk. Swys de Bruin was veral goed om die beste uit jong spelers te kry.

as ek die ander spanne sien speel dan wil ek se ons fiksheid is nie wat dit was nie. Gewoonlik waar altitude op ellispark in ons guns gespeel het daai laaste 20 minute wil dit lyk of ons die ergste sukkel dan.

ek weet nie so mooi nie, dit lyk of die unie net nuwe mense intrek en hoop vir die beste. As cash gaan aanbly dan weet ek regtig nie. Die unie is beslis nie op n goeie plek nie. 

Ek hoop daar is darem versterkings in die spelers geledere ook

Ek hou op kyk as Cash hoofafrigter bly
