BOKS TWEAKED FOR AUSSIES
"); document.write("Peter de Villiers, what a plonker you really are. ANY OTHER COACH IN THE WORLD WOULD GIVE HIS EYE TEETH TO HAVE MONTGOMERY IN THEIR SQUAD, NOT OUR LAD. nOOOOO ! HOW ON EARTH AN EXPERIENCED STAR LIKE MONTY CAN BE SIDELINED IN FAVOUR OF, THE NO DOUBT TALENTED, BUT RATHER UNTRIED, JANTJES, IS AN AMAZEMENT. Time will tell, but it is my opinion that Jantjes, talented as he no doubt is, will never walk in Monty`s. shoes.
I really hope this does not affect our chances of winning on Saturday, because it is going to be a tough one.. Charles Armstrong "); document.write("
Plonker Peter
"); document.write("Charles Armstrong for Coach! He obviously knows more than the guys who are there. Go Conrad. To call him untried is rather unfair. He's been around the block, and is definately in some good form!. Peter Coulbanis"); document.write("
tweaked team
"); document.write("How can you take the most experienced fullback in the world and leave him out, could you not see the difference he made last week, jantjies is a player for the future no doubt, but in these tough games u need the experience when the heat goes up, maybe oneday we will pick a proper team on merit.. andrew"); document.write("
Plonker
"); document.write("Guys ... guys ... guys ... once again the armchair critics come forward. We all know what Monty is capable of and that Conrad, albeit talented, needs experience but once again we prove outstoundingly ignorant of the fact that Pieter de Villiers [like it or not] is the coach and it is his right to decide on the team. When will South African supporters become just that ... a supporter ... stop whingeing and toast a coach who has done what no other SA coach has managed to do - win at the House of Pain! . Neil Mac"); document.write("
PLONKER / TWEAKER de Villiers
"); document.write("Hey Guys, I love these debates.
Just one more thing to say. Neil Mac, it was not the coach who won at the House of Pain ( Which now thankfully is NZ house of pain ) but the players. Lets not get all carried away and credit de Villiers with anything other than reasonably good selection on that specific day.. Charles Armstrong "); document.write("
Credit where it is due
"); document.write("Charles if you are not willing to credit the coach with the win why are you so quick to blame him for a loss?

If indeed it is the players who won in Dunedin then was it not the same players who lost in Wellington?

You can't have it both ways mate. De Villiers has been coaching for years and has the same credentials as Jake White did - why are you so quick to question his decisions?

As for Monty he did nothing special against the ABs and was found to be lacking pace when he needed it most. He is a great player, but cannot be selected on past performances. . Henry"); document.write("
