[QUOTE="Zed, post: 488955, member: 38503"] What has Mallet done? He didn't win a world cup with SA and coached Italy to a number of wooden spoons. I'm sure he's a good coach, but people seem to be blowing win up his ar$e because he coached the Boks, well so did Peter de Villiers! I think pre 6N you would have to give the job to Mallet, but you can't really argue with the 3 away wins that Lancaster has engineered. The win in Paris was pretty huge, with an inexperienced side against the WC finalists. I don't think he is a particularly amazing coach, but he seems sensible, rational and prepared to take risks with players. He has dropped players not playing well and picked players based on merit not reputation or caps or the fact they are 7 foot tall. I doubt his predecessors would have had the balls to stick Farrell in at 10 against Wales so he needs to be applauded for that. Give him to end 2013. [/QUOTE]
