    I’ve got nothing against pieter, but yet i am a bit disappointed for meyer, he deserved a shot, De Villiers hasnt really coached top flight rugby yet(super14). However I think South africans need to get behind the bok coach and give him till NZ in 2011

    TASSIES #70,

    He’s not captaincy material?

    What qualifies you to make that statement (apart from personal dislike)?

    A good decision that will, hopefully, lead to a brand of exciting, winning rugby from the Springboks.

    And God knows we have the talent to play that sort of rugby.

    Peter de Villiers and HM were the only real contenders and in PdV, we have chosen someone who can take us forward in style.

    It will be a tough road, no doubt, but let’s all get behind him and give him our full support – until he appoints Watermelon Man as the national skipper!!!

    Naaah, Peter’s too astute to do that.

    Please, get over yourselves! De Villiers has led junior Springbok teams to victory and this is the natural next step up.

    Meyer has won a few Currie Cups and a Super 14 – perhaps he needs to get involved in a few U19 or U21 Springbok teams first and work his way up.

    Jake started at those levels and won SA the World Cup in 2007! The winning recipe was that he had worked with the boys as juniors so taking the position as Springbok coach was made easier by the faact that he knew most of the young guys and brought them through the system. De Villiers will do the same.

    Sorry, ous. Didn’t mean to offend with my boere comment – was referring to racist Afrikaners (and other white South Africans) who can’t accept the changes in SA and not to Afrikaners in general, many of who have embraced our new democracy and new realities.

    I’m all about reconciliation and moving forward as a nation and I accept that my comment undermined that. I do get mad at some of the comments made on this site… and so sometimes I feel the need to ***** slap those racists back.

    Anyway, this Soutie says sorry!

Keo.co.za has always promoted uncensored views, but has never tolerated racist or crass outbursts. Come on guys and girls. If you can't moderate yourselves or each other then I am going to be forced to regulate the posts and enforce a registration process for comments. The choice is yours.
