Unfortunately when PDV has so many brainfarts it becomes apparent to most people that the only defence he can rely upon is to accuse his detractors of racism. He has done it before and he will do it again. That is the only track record the man has his rugby coaching track record is extremely bare.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the squad for last saturday was announced and seen the senior BOKS faces when they realised that a whitewash has just been made a lot harder.

I imagine the senior BOKS will get gatvol sooner rather than later and I expect european rugby to have some big signings at the end of this season. If that happens PDV will stay on till the next world cup because he will have a ready made excuse for the poor results that are coming. Please guys don’t leave just stage a palace revolution instead.

When PDV has played second string players the team has looked disjointed and clueless. The JW era players are holding this team together and it will inevitably fall apart.

And as for the Bakkies banning, it’s 2 stinking weeks… week 1 is already done and we don’t even play next week. Let it go, suck it up and take your punishment like a man.

Dee Dah – sure, but it is a bit fragmented and maybe not too easy for all to find or follow. If it is packaged, maybe it will be better noticed and understood, with a more constructive result than just a PdV bashing? Which some people have to turn into a racist item because there are no other excuses left?

And which make all Saffers look like complete tossers, btw.

Unfortunately for SA rugby PDV is untouchable. I imagine his skin colour would save him from a nuclear explosion (only if it happened in SA of course, in the rest of the world normal rules of the universe apply)

This cries out to be done, also because Keo dot coza is being vilified for pointing out that his reasoning and comments are being questioned.

So, give the guys a chance to go on record, scribes and ex-players specifically – and then maybe Piet or Oregon will be able to take some measures that will serve to make the Boks management team and Saru lesser objects of ridicule during the Tri-Nations.

Most importantly, this could take the racism card of this discussion – and what a relief that would be, oh man!

They only came right when a Kiwi replaced the Irish actor and swinging door.

It is rather funny to think that Swinging Door O’Gara made the first tackle of his life last week, and it cost the game! Lol.

#10 surreyshark4: actually some of their comments were “that should have been a try” and even said that the nr8 should get a two week ban – same as bakkies for his clearing out (which was from the side too), yes for the most part they are biased but it goes to show…WHAT IF (as savethespringbok said).

No, the pressure is off now that’s why

Wanna see what someone is really like, put him under pressure

In PdV’s case, he embarrassed himself and his countrymen

“What if” is ****.
The British Isles murdered the Boks B team and i want my money back.Who the hell pays R1140 for a ticket to watch a bunch of amateurs play in the green and gold? To hell with Peter de villiers he is a CLOWN.
The Boks were bloody lucky to win the first 2 tests despite that moron. On the new zeland sports show ‘reunion’ they all agreed
that peter is a CLOWN. Their words not mine.

Ok, help me if I am missing something, but the Lions totally lost the series 2-1 and call this one of the greatest, if not successful, Lions series ever???????

Sure they did play good rugby, but this exposes their inferiority complex completely. No true pride, just puffed up arrogance. They did not get it done, the Boks somehow did, by scoring when it mattered the most. They are true champions and won the series for this – end of the story. None of the Tri-Nations teams would EVER, and I mean EVER, come up with such bullSh!t. I guess when you know you cannot win, you have to celebrate coming second. The biggest losers I have ever seen. Maybe this is a good indication why Northern Hemisphere teams get their arses handed to them year in year out by the Southern Hemisphere teams – glorifying being mediocre and living in denial.

And then the “what ifs” that O’Connell and his freaky looking coach have already started when talking to the media without acknowledging the guts and composure of the Springboks. Being in denial about your shortcomings and poor performance in the big moments is a game that any team can play, win or lose; pity it does not change the result.

To join them and show them we can talk about the “what ifs” let’s start with the “what ifs” from the Boks perspective to show them they are not so unlucky after all:
- What if Piet Snor was doing his proper job assisting a provincial team to learn more about rugby for 5 more years and Nick Mallet/Heyneke Meyer or someone with professional coaching credentials was coaching the Boks in the mean time?
- What if the Boks had some time to play warm up games to work on their combinations/bench players getting game time, BEFORE the first test?
- What if Jacques Fourie played from the start with Jean de Villiers for all 3 tests?
- What if Adi Jacobs was never selected from day one so he can get over his injury and the best Bok centre pair could play together?
- What if Piet Snor did not send the subs on too early in Durban?
- What if there were no quotas in SA Rugby?
- What if Ruan Pienaar kicked better in the second test (hit the crossbar basically right in front and missed another easy kick as well)
- What if Bakkies Botha did not get that ridiculous 2 week ban?
- What if Schalk Burger did not have a brain explosion and did not act like an idiot in the first 30 seconds of the second test?
- What if the Boks did not make 10 changes for the last test?
- What if the Dickenson penalized the Lions rush defense for being offside several times? (now I am sounding like a Kiwi or an Aussie in when Jake was Bok Coach).
- What if Dickenson penalized the Lions for obstruction at least for one of their early tries in the third test?
- What if Monye did not intercept and the Boks scored in the most critical moment of the game?
- What if Kirchner did not drop the ball over the tryline?
- What if Kirchner passed the ball in the second minute instead of kicking it?
- What if Ndungane was not cheated out of his try?

We can play this what if game as well, bunch of wankers. You lost, and should have congratulated the Boks FIRST and foremost for beating you. THEN when you get home, you can start this **** when you cry on mom’s shoulder.

And I thought the Lions’ supporters on tour were a great bunch.
