First off - congrats TarJak.

If this is how our present coach views these loses then the Springboks may never ever regain their dominance in world rugby

"there are rumblings in SA Rugby as a result of the team's third successive Tri-Nations defeat, especially after the Springboks were booed at the end of the match in Durban and also while they were getting into their bus. "It's not nice, but one has to live with it," De Villiers said. "The supporters are justly dissatisfied. South Africans are proud people. They want to be winners and support a winning team."
"I have a new style of playing that I want to establish. Rome wasn't built in a day. I ask the public to give us more time to master the things we are trying to do.
"When we throw together all the elements and play according to the style I have in mind, we'll be hard to stop."
Springbok captain Victory Matfield also understands the emotions of the supporters. "We're the Springboks, we're World Cup champions and we've lost two home games in succession.

This guy De Villiers has such a tight contract that to get rid of him will cost around R5million. His performance clause was dropped from 75% down to 50% and then only to be accounted for after 2 years.

Anyhow, may I present the new Springbok jersey to all rugby lovers so you may recognise us when next we take to the park to implement the new way of playing rugby according to our esteemed coach.
