He's a world cup winning South African coach. That's enough to trigger the entire NH rugby fanbase. Don't worry boys. One day you'll win it, but probably with an NZ coach and several poached Kiwi and Shaffer players.

Heard some half arsed shite over the years but that's up there with the best.The wind was pumping and the rain came down.
"When you lose the toss here, it really becomes like cricket. You struggle to get up the hill. The ground is sloped that way and it's also the direction the wind comes from.
"I don't think people appreciate how tough it was to carry the ball out of your half. It's different when you score tries running down the hill
Well he is pretty kak at 10.Sharks utility back Curwin Bosch has made it clear that he is a flyhalf who plays at fullback, even though he's been deployed at 15 by his franchise.
Bosch's ability at 10 came under increasing scrutiny during the Currie Cup and the British & Irish Lions tour game.
Sharks coach Sean Everitt explained that Bosch's move to fullback was informed by Aphelele Fassi's move to the Boks.
And Bosch said he'll stay at the fullback because the team needs him there.
"The most important thing is the team, so I'll always play where I'm needed in the team," Bosch said.
"I don't think I've been moved around a lot and I have played 10 for the past two years, so this has been a couple of games where I've played at 15.
"We've had a chat about playing in the position and thinking it will be good for me and it's important that one plays in both those positions.
"I've always said I'm a 10 that can play at fullback and it is going to stay that way."
The flyhalf and fullback berths at the Springboks are heavily occupied, with the think-tank of coach Jacques Nienaber and director of rugby Rassie Erasmus happy with the incumbents.
Bosch though was clear in that his priority is the Sharks and everything will follow later.
"As far as the pecking order is concerned, that's not up to me, that's up to the coaches," Bosch said.
"The most important thing for me right now is getting results with the Sharks and everything will take care of itself."
The Sharks are in Swansea on Friday to play against the Ospreys, a team Bosch said has a quality kicking game.
"Kicking plays a big role against the European sides and especially the team that we'll be facing on Friday," Bosch said.
That is quite some backline.
Boeta hasnt impressed me at 10.....what happened to our starter in the CC
Huge pity....Boeta is playing at a level above him right now.....Thats part of the problem with our attack.....but we have no option...without Cronje to grow off we really have to trust in him.

Who?
Libbok was vokken good on saturday. When he left with an injury, Swiel was a heavy down grade and our backs never goot back into it. Hope he keep it up.
Have to agree. I might have to change my opinion of him.

What about a loaner from Griquas/Cheetahs/Leopards etc? There are a couple of decent locks around. Speaking of which, I wonder why someone like Gideon van der Merwe didn't get a gig in this comp? He's a very decent openside flank.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 8:07 amThere go our only lock.iarmhí wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 8:29 pm RTE news : Stormers' Smith cited after alleged bite on Scannell

Libbok was pretty decent at the Bulls as well, unfortunately for most of the time he was stuck behind Pollard, so rarely got a run of games except for the one long term injury Pollard had. So hopefully he will get back to top form, even if it is at WP

Vok knows I already claim a few TVs from my insurance.Slick wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 2:12 pm Interesting that most of the coaches here are saying much the same thing with regards to the SA teams - it's a different pace of game, different conditioning needed and they will soon be up to speed.
I know they can't just say "they are shite", but from what I've read it's a pretty blanket opinion.

Volmink replaced Bosch which is a great improvement.
