[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 159451"] Well, it`s official- the worst-kept secret in SARU`s proud tradition of poorly-kept secrets is finally out, and Jake`s been given the boot, officially. Apparently he didn`t apply for his own position in time- lol! So once again SARU proves themselves the most capable rugby administration in the world to shoot themselves in the foot. I reckon that someone just needs to get Regan Hoskins a 12-gauge South African Sweeper shotgun, then he`ll only need to do it once, instead of several times. And if his foot is clean off, he can`t shove it so competently up his big piehole either. And the best part is some of the reasons given by some of the big shots at SARU- ranging from White and John Smit getting too big-headed, to White still being loyal to Brian van Rooyen. But anyway, small men with big egos at SARU aside, the unofficial official shortlist for his replacement has been revealed, unofficially of course. In the true SARU tradition of poorly kept best-kept secrets. They are Heynecke Meyer, current head honcho of the Bulls, who has by all accounts done plenty in the land of the light blue to bolster his claims. Could be very good at the job, if he doesn`t succumb to the temptation of playing guys like Wannenburg and Hougaard! Also Pieter De Villiers, very successful SA u/21 coach, who guided the Baby Boks to 3 successive u/21 RWC finals, winning 2. Also, he can add to his CV the fact that he`s worked extensively with the likes of Habana, Fourie, Spies, Pienaar, Pietersen and Ralapelle at age-group level, and these guys will form the backbone of the Bok challenge in 2011. My personal choice for the job, although it would`ve been preferrable to have White in the driving seat until 2009, with De Villiers as his 2IB until then. The other 2 candidates should really be non-starters. Incumbment backs coach Allister Coetzee, who did f-all of note with the Bok backline, until Eddie Jones showed up prior to the RWC.
