I gotta be honest with you, I have stopped talking about him and when ever the subject comes up I just keep quiet… People judge him on his record, which is not a bad record at all, but thats cause he was handed a World Cup winning side, but the man himself is an utter idiot, throwing racist comments and ranting about absolute bullshit!

I think he is not up for the job and is a blady idiot! Surely there are better coachs “of colour” that could have done his job? What were his past credentials? Victorians Club in Kraaifontien? FUCK SAKES someone just shoot him…

thanks for allowing me to have a good at him!

good = go…

Btw that picture looks like he has smoked weed, buttons, tik and drank a litre of Brandy… good shot!

He is an absolute shocker, I think when you’re the SA rugby coach and you pull the pathetic race card…you’re overs in my books! It’s a pathetic tactic for the weak and lazy.

Yeah hows that photo? Beaut!

It’s in this months Sports Ilustrated, you need to get it, it is phenomenal.

Craig, every coach will get judged on their results, and the results speak for themselves.

He speaks a fukkload of shit yes but jeez,what other Bok coach aside from Mallet spoke alot of sense.Jake spoke good english but he also suffered from foot in mouth disease and spat out made up stats all day long.

And please dont say anything about the senior players coaching the team.

Clay, good point. Now that I think about it, none of the coaches can actually just keep quiet and get on with the job. I do think though, that the race card is just getting old and boring and it’s ridiculous to still use it.

(Interesting point on the side, when I made a joke about the ANC Youth League website a while back and their poll asking if your age was “Yes” or “No”, I got an e-mail from someone connected to them asking me to stop making racist comments about them. It’s just like a get off free card that a select few people like to use, and Div doesn’t need to be included in that group at all, especially in his high profile and demanding position. No one needs the stress of negative media coverage around the world when you’re building up a team that aims to be the best at their chosen discipline in the entire world)

When the Lions guys call him a clown, he needs to just keep quiet and get on with the job.

It’s like celebrities and rugby coaches are all the same. Losing track of what is at hand…the last time I heard Bono talk he was talking some kak about he world falling apart. Sing dammit!

And Div needs to coach, not get caught up in stupid quotes in the media. But the Sports Illustrated article doesn’t exactly do his image any good, I mean it was a shocker from what he said.

But from the article, there have been hearings and he has basically been told to not say anything more, and get on with the job.

And that’s exactly what needs to be done, so hopefully we won’t see anymore of him in the press. The less we see of him, the harder and more focused he can be, and that’s a good thing for him and SA Rugby

I’ll admit, rugby isn’t my chosen sport and I don’t follow it like I do cycling, but these comments are just from general common sense, so I won’t go into coaching and who is better or worse than him, because I have no idea! That’s up to Sharksworld

Oh and Fiona Mallett is in this Sports Illustrated. Nick is her uncle.

She’s quite spicy in real life!

Oh yeah, and the comments about him being stupid weren’t extending to his coaching abilities just to clear it up. They’re purely based on the rubbish that’s been published in the press, all those legendary quotes.

ClayOne: I agree with you that results speak for themselves but he is no Jake White, he is no Nick Mallet. If you say he is then you have no idea what you talking about and I rest my case.

It has never been known in the years of rugby to “let go” of the world cup winning coach fter the world cup. So literally PdV was thrown in there as the person with the least experience in a field of applicants with much better credentials… Sorry, but there really could have been a better man of colour(I say this because they didnt choose a white coach due to transformation in the sport) for this job, a better spokesperson for SA rugby, a better ambassador for our beloved South Africa…

I was never going to say that senior players coached the team, yet if those senior players left and left De Viliers with a young and inexperienced Bok side, do you think his record would look like it is? I personally dont think so bro, but you never know.

Sean, you also making some very good points there… Im so fucking sick of the race card being thrown out at every possible chance they get, its old and its going out of fashion! FOR FUCK SAKES!

So to say the least, ClayOne = PdV Thumbs up?? Sean = PdV Thumbs down?? and Craig = PdV THUMBS DOWN!

A WP boykie writing for a Sharks site, I am a sad confused person but hey, I still have my Newlands press pass and that is a cool toy to have.

Look dude I didn’t even want him to be the coach , but he is and I will support him like I support the Boks even when they play shit and WP …. erm ja.

Dude the race card is the lamest k@k that can be pulled, I agree with you.Some woman gave a presentation at our company a few years back and when we took her apart after the half ass presentation she gave she called us racists and stormed 200 odd people, all of us racist.Shame.

Pete should get the media liason to do the media stuff, it will get a lot of people off his back and he won’t have his words twisted.The Schalk Burger issue is a perfect example, he says he doesn’t believe Schalk did it intentionally and the headlines read ” Bok coach condones eye gouging” ,the fact that Keo and crew have business interests in Jakes Whites winning ways doesn’t help him win back any detractors as well because they’ll even have a dig at him on a cricket thread.

But shit, you got me all serious at lunch time , offside dude.I wonder if the alcohol cabinet is still unlucked, theres a bottle of whiskey I need to befriend.

Hellooooooo Fiona.

I was at school with Fi’s cousin(Nick, not Nick Mallett hehee), so I saw her grow up, fuck she is hot!

Yeah look I’m not into the whole rugby scene hectically, so my thumbs down is on his public relations side, which we can all agree, is a shocker! I’ll leave the rest up to you guys…

Yeah I saw Fiona ages ago in Cavendish Square, and nearly fell off the elevator into some book sale they were having on the bottom floor.

I’m real smooth around hotties like that…real smooth…

Reminds me of another time I saw Tracy McGregor in Dis-Chem (I know) in Cavendish, and I was so nervous I put my change into my wallet and never zipped it up, and when I put it back I dropped literally about 20 coins onto the ground at the till, and like a tool casually said to the till lady “Oh don’t worry about that” Then someone next to me started picking the coins up for me…I could have died. Lucky for me, Tracy didn’t seem to notice this, not that it would have mattered if she did because I still have no chance anyway.

I get major stage fright in front of these people who appear in magazines!

Craig:Never said he was.And also there are alot of people that say Nick only did well because he inherited a team that Carel built up but thats neither here nor there.

Jake said over and over that he was going to quit after the RWC and aside from being a video analyst for Mallet he never really had much credentials as well.Oom Rudolph had a stint at the Sharks but aside from that he had no experience, under him we were hondk@k.

But I dont visit this site to talk rugby, I come to read about important stuff like cocaine and woman of questionable morals .

Dont worry Clayone, this is a CT site… the editor was just born a Sharks man, am I right Sean? This has turned into a heated little debate i must agree, but thats always good. Swing me a whiskey when you pour one Clay.

As for you Sean, classic my man, classic! I like how you keep it smooth when hot chicks are around!

As for the topic: What I have to say is, I dont like him, I wont like him, I love the bokke and will always support them now matter what. My main arguement about PdV is that there is surely another person that is better for the job, and i dont mean another white coach…

I can’t say I’m a Sharks man, I’m not so much into rugby! (No joking okes…ja get me a brewski…high fives…turn the boerie)

I’m quite into the Tour De France at the moment though.

Cocaine and women of questionable morals?…I haven’t mentioned that in ages.

*scans website*

Shit, you caught me!

Is Lance actually riding a bike in that thing this year.

Yeah, he’s actually doing quite well, yesterday he had a great ride.

And next year he’s…ah man I’m off the topic.

Boats and ho’s! Boats and ho’s!

That’s more SLXS

I need a website redesign, this is shit, no e-mail follow ups on comments.

I’ll get onto it.

Fully, you got any numbers to play for that Superana?I could do with the 1.1Billion, big boats and lotsa ho’s.

Yeah email follow ups will be good…

Clay: You are very right about previous coachs, now that I think about you clearly right about there credentials, I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID!

Sean and Clay: Lets get back to talking about, tits, ass, tik and coke… haahaa

Sorry for turning this into a debate, my bad!

@ Clayton — I always put in a few numbers, in the Playeuromillions and our lottery but my numbers are shit! I have not won a cent in months, pathetic. I think it’s all building up to a major win though, I’m sure of it. and then I will buy something ridiculous, like a hotel to store my coke and ho’s. Actually a V&A hotel so I can store my boats as well.

@ Craig — No worries bud, debates are always good, no problems with it.

REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER STORY!

This old teacher at our school was about a million years old and he used to run the debating teams, and everytime there was a debate notice on his door we’d write ‘maths’ in front of it.

It still gives me little laughs all these years later, when I’m supposed to be mature. I guess sometimes we’ll jsut never grow up!

Growing up is overrated
