Fire Jake White, NOW - take 2

"Well, what can I say? I don't even get all that angry anymore when I watch another shocking display by South Africa. I love my country, and I love the Springboks...but I get more passionate these days about any team that can beat New Zealand and England (although their loss to Argentina today shows that they aren't much of an opposition anymore - and saying that I don't really have much hope that the Springboks will even beat England in the coming tests).

"With the RWC in mind, the smaller rugby countries must look at South Africa and probably get infuriated by the fact that we don't even need to qualify, yet we're taking up valuable space that can be filled by a team that might deserve to be there more than we do. There is no way that the Springboks have any chance in the World Cup.

"We have the players and the talent. What the hell are we doing so wrong?"
- Ben Lyke

"Well I won a lot of money today! As predicted the Irish Flankers made light work of the S'African so-called back row, where White played Locks Rossouw and Smith as Flankers... when will South Africans realise the most important player on the field is the Openside Flanker?

"The 'Boks didn't challenge a single ball on the ground, and gave away countless turnovers... not to mention the 30 Missed Tackles... that's right Jake (duh), Locks are too tall to tackle, thats why God made Flankers!
 
"Thanks for making sports betting sooo easy! Ha Ha!"
- Patrick Jolly

"Why does only SA rest their players?You dont see Nz or Oz doing that.I just hope it pays off for the world cup next year."
- Pieter le Roux

"Well Saturdays game proved a few things:
1. There is a HUGE gap between Currie Cup rugby and Test.
2. SA does not have a second team. Not one forward put their hand up. Even Spies didn't feature.
3. You have to have a fetcher and until White acknowledges that SA will never win ball.
4. The only guy who put his hand up was Steyn. Habana is useless wherever you put him. He can only run fast he cannot even sidestep!!!!
 
"England are on 7 losses. Next week it will all change and they will beat SA. You cannot even call them Boks and the 1906 guys must be turning in their graves. What an insult to that jersey!
 
"As the commentators said in the world cup pool, England and SA will be the ones to beat to get into the quarters."
- Ray Fourie

"Surely now is the time for Jake White to go!"
- Tony

"I believe that recipe for disaster was so clear.  The broader public could see this and one must question the management, selectors, selection and more notably Jake Whites deliberate stubbornness. I certainly will not be canceling any golfing appointments to follow this embarrassment."
- Rob Hood
