Springboks: post RWC general discussion

[Gena_ZA]

Juan Smith - sad but true that one more bump on the head and his career is over, think past him lads.
I want a coach that would lure proper talent like Schalk Brits back to South Africa.
One that does not allow the senior players to rule the team and the way they play.
I really don't care who they pick as long as he is respected and treated fairly.

With the amount of talent and the structures in this country I don't even want to try and select possible players for the June 2012 test series against England.
See how the young guns come though in the Super15, it is a new era starting and it is going to be beautiful

As for Bryce Lawrence, I wish him nothing worse that being raped by a gang of silverback gorillas - please take photo's

coaches: Mitchell or Plumtree... but Naka drotsky has to be in there!!! love what he has done to the cheetahs and the rugby they play... they by far the best team in SA/or play the best rugby...for me atleast...

8. Johnson
9. Sarel/hougaard
10. Sias/lambie
11. basson/aPLON/sadie
12.DE jOGN

For me, either Mitchell or Plum but we need some out-of-the-box thinking (the box being South African conservatism)

Young lads like Lambie, Goosen, Sithole, de Jongh, Hougaard, Coetzee, Deysel, Elstadt, Taute and Vermeulen need to be in the squad. I don't get the whole Johnson fetish lately from some people. He is the worst Springbok since Jaco VDW.

All will depend on the game preferred by the coach. My post RWC starting 15:

1. Mtawarira
2. Bismarck
3. Herbst/Kruger
4. Elstadt/Mostert/Bresler (if eligible)
5. Bekker/Hargreaves
6. Brüssow/Daniel
7. Burger/Alberts/Deysel/Raubenheimer
8. Vermeulen/Strauss/Daniel
9. Hougaard/Pienaar/Vermaak
10. Lambie/Goosen/S. Ebersohn
11. Hougaard/Pietersen/Mvovo
12. F. Steyn/Lambie/de Jongh
13. Foutie/de Jongh/Sadie/Kirchner (just kidding)
14. Basson/Aplon/Sithole/Taute
15. Taute/Ludik/Lambie

This all with my eye on 2015 of course and with my eye on success in the long run. No short-term thinking please

How about this for a backline...

9. Hougaard
10. Goosen or S.Ebersohn
11. Mvovo/Aplon (Aplon is getting a bit on in years though right?)
12. F. Steyn/De Jongh
13. R.Ebersohn/De Jongh
14. Sithole/Pietersen/Basson
15. Taute/Lambie

A bit young but hey, I think that's what we need right now. Youth!

How about keeping the current coach?
Worked for England in 2003.
Seeming as he hasn't resigned he might put himself forward again and get reappointed lol.

.
Just so you know I don't actually wish that for South Africa (even though it would help our record against you).
Also I wouldn't wish Mitchell on you either, but if you guys want him it's fine by me .
