In advance of readmission, South African rugby could clearly lay claim to being the most beneficial in the world. We had the best record of all international teams, having beaten every other international team greater than they had defeated us. My husband was the only country to have achieved this on the All Blacks.
During the last 17 years however, our wonderful record is becoming very average and we are not used feared like we once were.
Where have we gone wrong?
Where to begin?? There are numerous considerations.
*Firstly it starts with our administration.*
Nothing is finished for greater good of many game. We truly be required to refresh the structure in our administration. Get rugby people, who wish to develop, promote and work for the wonderful of those game. Currently, it is completely masses game. Provincial presidents control the experience, and work for the wonderful within their unions and not the state.
On account that a great man like Morne Du Plessis could hardly handle the politics and resigned coming from the board of SA rugby was a tragedy. We want great manne like Morne. He?s extremely wise, an incredible role model, and loves the experience. More men like Morne would be considered a great start, instead of the provincial presidents who only want what exactly best for themselves. The actual fact they?re glad to put their individual agendas and unions a step ahead of greater good of many country needs to stop.
It possesses to be Springboks first, Super 14 second, Provincial third. And national coaches need to employed in and maybe have a greater say over the provincial coaches.
I?d like to check out a system like New Zealand the spot that the players are centrally contracted, instead of in SA where they are contracted from the individual unions. Whilst I can?t see this issue changing, it may be a measure in the right direction and produce rugby decisions much easier.
*Implement a good coaching structure.*
Require a national director of coaching. Require it desperately! Now we have a few men could you practice it. Jake White, Heyneke Meyer, Nick Mallet. It?s a tragedy nobody are currently fitting in with better SA rugby. I feel we have some of the best natural talent in the world, where we suffer is the quality of our own coaches. They are in need of a workout structure to work with. That often we have now an instructor who has one good season, one good tournament and we believe he should get higher honours. There should be a system and natural order of progression ? Schools/Varsity/Vodacom cup, Currie cup, Super 14, National teams, Springboks. And time!
One season does not generate man. Prove you will be worthy. As many as I respect Heyneke Meyer and all smith achieved, one Super 14 title does not mean he has achieved everything. Try it again. Build on it. Create a dynasty. Like Robbie Deans did for the Crusaders. Just like the Bulls did during the 80?s, Transvaal within the mid 90?s etc for example
Paul Treu is a very good example of a person who has stuck to his vision, has fantastic integrity, is loved by his players but has began to reap exceptional rewards, especially given the structures smith to work within. Daegan has worked with his squad in a long time but shown that injuries, non-availability and changing personnel don?t have to be excuses for performances. He has created a winning environment and culture or it now doesn?t matter who is inside the squad, the opposition realize it will certainly take some doing to defeat South Africa. An indispensable think about his success is that players know where they stand, whatever they need to do to have into his squad, and still have stadards to maintain and aspire to.
Conversely after 1 good season Rassie Erasmus was touted to be a future Springbok coach. Well the past 2 seasons have shown he is far distant from it. This is certainly valuable for your boyfriend, If i recall he?ll be learning immensely. However show me 3-4 consistent years at super 14 level after which look to higher honours. Meyer went through that in the early 2000?s. Frans Ludeke is showing he has learnt from the past and will grow into an honest coach.
Ultimately these coaches need training and guidance, this is where the director of rugby comes in. Surely Rassie, and Naka and Loffie Eloff could use some guidance simply because they struggle from one loss to another one.
*Show some confidence and develop a playing style we perceive can consistently win us games.* Id like to emphatically say, 10 man rugby is dead. Over. Gone.
It could win some Currie cup games when the opposition is equipped with its own brainless Boers who attempt to prove their manhood to the world and beat one another into submission. Nonetheless it won?t consistently delay within the international arena.
We have players with great skill. We simply require back them and enable them to go to town. I realise many Springboks, coaches and critics admit that South Africans love structure and could use to use with structure. Structure is okay, but robots aren?t! Very often I feel we don?t read the situation well (eg an overlap right at half), and need to read simple things precisely what is happening around the field better. Pieter De Villiers message of ?playing the matter? springs to mind here. And look like De Villiers I also believe it is necessary to change. And until we do and obtain use to it, they will always be difficult.
We?ve proved eventually we can play expansively. Mallet?s Boks in 1998/99 scored loads of great tries. Straueli?s Bok in 2002 scored by far the most tries inside the tri-nations, Jake White?s Boks in 2004 had no difficulty scoring tries, and Peter De Villiers Boks at times a while back looked unstoppable. It shows we know ways to achieve running rugby. We do not have to key in such as the Aussies or Kiwis or other people. We are able to use our own strengths and play a South African way, but simply use all 15 of our players. It provides us more strings to our bow!
*Mindset is the one other key issue.*
Whether we like it or not, we?ll play almost half our games outside South Africa. For the time being tours really are a nightmare. We should always simply stop making excuses. We must tour. Cope with it. Embrace the challenge so we can feel the exhilaration of victory. We target games along with a certain quantity of points. Aim to win every game and obtain every point found at tour. When opposition teams arrived at South Africa, they don?t remember losing. They wish to order every game regardless how daunting.
It really is obvious that almost all of our teams can?t wait to have back to places like Loftus, Kings Park etc where they need to key in. Whilst that is understandable, The way of measuring a good team has been in a position to win anywhere. Every game is played on a single size field. You merely need to give heed to conditions. It really is in the mind. That often we don?t believe we can win in New Zealand. We give the Kiwis way too much respect. They are beatable.
*Develop consistency. It?s among the biggest problems within our rugby.*
We now have a great performance and then we suck. On earth cup we demolished England 33-0 and played fantastic rugby. Then of the remainder of the tournament we got defensive and easily did enough to win. We have to be a bit more confident in our ability and play into it each week.
The Sharks had 2 great wins on tour this year. And then played a number of the worst rugby i?ve seen the actual rubble Reds.
The Bulls were great on tour the actual Horrorcanes and played with awesome intensity, a next 2 weeks they seemed like a team of amateurs; making basic errors, distributing penalties and appearing lethargic. As professional players I sometimes wonder how one can train to have a week after which get ways to wrong! The Lions had the beating of those Chiefs and threw it away. An in the near future they come such as a lot of pansies contrary to the Blues. Then they were awesome on the Reds. And then disgraceful the actual Farce. Where is your consistency?
How often will we see considered one of our teams score ? building up pressure and pressure until getting the try. Then along at the restart we knock the ball on or kick it outside at the full allowing the opposition to capitalise and score. How frequently can we see certainly one of our teams playing in your home, race to the a 20 point lead, when we consider the game is won. Then next thing we let in a couple of soft tries and strive to win the experience, actually often we lose. eg Sharks v Crusaders a while back. It proves we have the skill, we lack application, patience and the mindset to provide consistent performances, and place teams away once we possess the chance to.
The Stormers prove this. Year after year. They ve great players. Yet are not able to make it work. I feel it?s mostly a coaching problem.
It does not have to help after coach makes Grant his flyhalf and after 2 games discards him for De Waal. Suddenly the full blueprint for your season?s success is modified. 2 Further weeks later he drops De Waal and brings back Grant. Later he brings back De Waal again. No doubt the players have no confidence in plan. Compare this into the Bulls (SA?s most successful team) who play Steyn 100% of times at flyhalf. As well as in positions where there are 2 decent players, they know they are being rotated eg Chilliboy and Derrick Kuun. That is much better handling of your players.
*Believe in coloured and black players and provide them opportunities. And smaller white players too.*
We utilize to have an advantage inside the amateur era because many individuals players possessed great bulk and strength developed from years by the veld and on farms. (It?s why NZ had an advantage too). Opposition teams feared our big forward packs. We intimidated them.
However with professionalism and greater gym work, other countries know how to train as much as our players do and utilize methods that help them stay competitive. They?ve wedged and in some cases overtaken us. We now encounter packs that outweigh ours. If we stick to our subdue and dominate theory we are most certainly finding that we often come off second best. It?s embarrassing to view Stormers scrum disintegrate, as well as Bulls scrum struggle to hold their very own. Now it?s about time you have we utilize some brain with these brawn.
We have to utilise the skillful players we now have. Give everyone an opportunity. Whether we like it or possibly not, bit strong Afrikaans guys still get more opportunities than coloureds, blacks or small white guys. The very fact we could make Boks away from big, lumbering backs like De Wet Barry, Braam Van Straaten, Trevor Halstead, Gus Theron etc is shocking. None of these players are able to run and pass and create space for our outside backs.
Meanwhile we chase away a few of our greatest players like Brent Russell. The guy has been a magician. He had pace, an excellent step, and speed to burn. As an alternative to what he will not possess, look at what he does provide. A Van Straaten or Barry might be solid defensively however didn?t allow us to achieve many tries. However a Russell may let in 3 but score 6. At the end of the day we have to score above the opposition!
Bryan Habana is likely to be our country?s greatest centre. We?ll never be aware of because we won?t test him there (although he started his provincial rugby there!). One bad game (but i thought he did nothing wrong in his one test as centre against Ireland), and it?s labelled not to ever play him there again. But meanwhile the other centre, or lock or flyhalf may have a bad game so we don?t write them off. Be fair. Apply an identical rules to every player.
I heard a few of the biggest load of crock last week when I heard Rassie say the Hilton Lobberts was certainly one of his best players contrary to the Horrorcanes. He then proceeds to bench him for the next game saying he?ll need him off the bench. Together with the season gone, the main target ought to be building for the future. Instead he puts AJ Venter in to the starting lineup. A player he has been reluctant to work with for the majority of the season. What?s the manage that?? I hate need to, but is it because he is black that Lobberts isn?t given a possibility? It does tend to happen to a number of our black and coloured guys who aren?t wingers eg Hanyani Shimange, Tim Dlulane, Solly Tybilika, Lawrence Sephaka etc
*We need to use our talent out wide more.*
I stated 4 issue that Nokwe should be a Bok. He?s the quickest winger we have now with all the best step. Yet nobody knows about him because he?s never given the possibility. He needed to move from Boland to your Cheaters because he couldn?t do the Stormers? Give me a break. Wylie Human and Naquelevuki are better instead? Please!
If we could get our players to use their brains many and be accountable we wouldn?t see many of the crap our teams constantly dish up. For only a start NZ and Aussie wingers receive the ball in space and score tries. How frequently do we see Habana and Nokwe one on one in space? The undeniable fact that they are in a position to score countless tries as they have is remarkable.
When Nokwe scored four against Australia a while back he was put into space. It helped him having Adi Jacobs as his centre. Jacobs created space and Nokwe?s blistering pace did the rest. It?s a simple formula! I did not realize why we try to complicate it.
Exactly what i usually see is our teams consistently just shovelling the ball sideways. The Sharks, Lions and Stormers would be the greatest culprits here. Going from one side of your field to the other will not constitute expansive rugby. Nor should it give prospects to the wingers. And unfortunately it encourages our teams consistently either going on a date into touch, or putting through some kind of hallelujah kick praying for a miracle. We just allow the ball returning to the opposition.
What we need are players to run straight, hard, at pace and into gaps. Then allow Nokwe, Habana, Jacobs to indicate us their fancy sidesteps. Among the best players I?ve seen at making extra motions was New Zealand?s Christian Cullen.
I saw Montgomery learning 1998, in addition to my opinion he had more pace and acceleration than Cullen. But we never saw him confident enough to communicate himself save for the 1998 tour to Europe. Cullen however backed himself anytime, and of course he ran the ball fairly often, he still kicked and varied his play nicely meaning you were never sure what he would definitely do. The mystery to Cullen?s success (even supposing his positional play was nowhere near to good as Monty?s) was his permission to always run straight, specify the gap, use a step and become over the advantage line. By not using a totally direct route in to the opposition he gained the valuable few seconds to confirm his support always managed to get to him to retain possession if he was tackled.
Compare this to Jantjies that will kick the ball 9 times due to 10, and just run straight into the opposition when he does run it. It often encourages turnover ball when he runs, so his mode to revisit kicking it.
I?ve seen numerous of our fullbacks (and wings and centres) with skills the equal of the world?s best, that have not delivered consistently on your world stage. Tinus Delport, Andre Snyman, Danie Van Schalkwyk, Russell Bennett, Robbie Fleck, James Small, Stefan Terblanche to name a few. Much of that goes the fualt of the players generally and the coaching they have received.
Schoolboy rugby, Craven week as well as other tournaments, show we now have the opportunity to play direct, running rugby. What happens between there and provincial/international rugby is coaching, and fear of failure. Too often we play to not lose, as an alternative to playing to win. The coaches act safe, instead of backing their ability to dominate. One could witness it quite evidently in the Boks under Jake White, especially along at the World Cup. Seek to dominate upfront first, and when you get dominance plus a lead continues to be established, then throw the ball around for a little more. As we?ve noticed often, if forward dominance doesn?t happen, or we go behind, we revert to conservative rugby this does not get us any points. It turns into the reality.
New Zealand especially not have any that problem. They always believe they could win, and always believe they may employ the abilities to outscore the opposition. Whilst their approach now and then causes them trouble so we don?t want to replicate that, however we do need their belief to back our players and our ability.
*Back our players along with the skills they possess.* Many overseas coaches have criticised the lack of basic skills in our players, eg handling skills, having the power to pass in both directions etc.
I feel a considerable amount of this occurs since of rugby we adopt, so we essentially cause our players to go backwards. The ideal example of this usually is JP Pietersen.
When JP came on the scene he delighted crowds together with try scoring ability. He didn?t know any different so he did what came naturally ? ran and chip-kicked, and just aimed to realize tries. Because he morphed into a regular member of the Sharks, daegan has been coached to act like for safety, doesn?t get any ball in hand opportunities with any space, that will his basic skills have become very average at times. Culminating which has a dramatic absence of form a while back. If I was coach i?d simply let him express himself with ball in hand. My advice would be, go out and score tries!
I liken it to telling someone like Virender Sehwag or Adam Gilchrist to act like defensively and wait till they are dominating before playing any shots. (now we have a similar trouble with our cricketers too!)
Find out how to dominate which includes a defensive mindset? Would they be as successful attempting to curb their natural instincts and natural game? I believe everybody knows just what outcome will be.
*Make sure our conditioning comes to an end to scratch.* All Amongst mothers how much fitter and faster we are compared to before. How our speed tests are better than they?ve ever been.
Watching our teams over the years I will declare that I didn?t care what the tests say, it isn?t great. We ought to aim to be the fittest, strongest team at all times. When teams visit the highveld, we should have got a 15 point advantage and be in a position to run them off of the field.
Australasian teams still believe they can run South Africans off the park by playing with width. Largely these are correct. How often do we seen the ball taken through 6 or 7 phases after which we just open up an enormous gap or might not locate a hand on someone. Or if the overall game starts to obtain quite open we will not compete. We then start making basic errors, dropping passes etcetera
*In summary.* There are a few different areas I actually have identified that I believe we require massive work on. It starts with getting the right structure.
A director of coaching is required! ASAP. Then we need some decent coaches that could adhere to a vision and never be taken to pressure. Should we come in with the right mindset, we are able to embrace the contests we face.
We will then play direct, hard running rugby and utilise our strengths to run smoothly with more consistent results. I believe in SA rugby players. I love our teams, players, culture and history. I can?t stand the very fact we under perform. Now we have the talent to be the dominant team and country in world rugby and forge an archive like we did in this glory days.
We just Tinnitus Control spray is required to be proactive, as an alternative to reactive. Attacking as an alternative to defensive. And believe it as an alternative to dream of Tinnitus Control it. Go South Africa!
