document.write("Um... this is still a really dumb way to go about inspiring your players.  He's basically guilt tripping them into playing better so that he can keep his job!?  That's not inspirational, and I can't believe that tactic is used at that level.   <br /><br />Furthermore, WHY were Earl & Sephaka singled out?  I don't get it.  If you imagine that speech going down, what would the point be of saying that, unless you just wanted to make them feel even more guilty, because YOU have issues?<br /><br />Stupid.  I am not a big fan of Earl Rose (although he is still maturing - that crazy #### he tries to pull ALMOST looks like a young Carlos Spencer, he might be good someday, or not) and Sephaka is good enough to play at that level.  <br /><br />Anyhow if this is how the Lions staff rev up their players, than I understand why they are bottom of the loggers.

");

document.write("Bob, anyone in charge of a company, or responsible for keeping it together, as Boshoff clearly is, needs to use every motivational tool at his disposal to achieve the desired effects. You might lable this particular one \" stupid \", but a man should not have to be forced into 'early retirement' and branded a 'racist' because he speaks the truth within the context of the current situation, either in Rugby, or in the country. Read between the lines and he was actually trying to motivate them to get rid of the \" I am a poor previously underpriveleged person and hence can go wherever I want and remain employed based on my status\" card.... and actually get off their butts and produce the results required by the loyalty and hard work that should be extended in return for the 'above average' compensation that they recieve for their job. If this is the attitude of all previously underpriveleged people in this country, then we are in deep s... !!!. Cats");

document.write("I was once reprimanded, as a referee for refering to a team as \"you people\", so I can sympathise with Boshoff!! The colour card is the most sensitive area in SA sport, as most of the sportsmen concerned, KNOW that they are chosen due to politics!! ########!! BTW the Roses are average players, not worth thier weight in rugby players!!. Andrew");

document.write("This is just another example of what white management has to put up with with all this affirmative action and BEE bull....<br /><br />Can you blame the coach for going off his trolly??? How come Rose is still playing for the Lion after his latest poor performance??? To me he is clearly out of his league at Super 14 level. Return him to Provincial level and see how he develops. Yesterdays came is once again proof of that. Maybe he should get rid of all his \"body armour\" and gloves to become a bit more mobile and agile. He looks quite silly with all his gadgets.....

You guys dont look at Earl, look at the incompetance of the coaching staff.How unprofessional can Boshof get. Is he even good enough to coach? If you guys really know what you are talking about - then tell me who is the better flyhalf in the lions team at the moment?Please reply so that we take this further. Ebens");

If there are players that can't take the criticism when they get paid a lot of money to perform, maybe they are not the right player for that level of profession.<br /><br />South Africa has so much talent and can be the best in the world, but if South Africa keep on with this political non-sense, then I am afraid, it is a dog chasing its own tail...Politicians like to interfere with everything, but knows nothing really, just look at the political world in general.<br /><br /><br />Sport is the one of the only things keeping this beautiful country (South Africa) together.<br />Sport is all about the best.
