Citing unfavourable working conditions

Is Borthwick another prick to work for?

Bring Felix back to the Boks

Someone on another website spoke to him today and he had numerous gripes…..but said Borthwick “ sold him a Ferrari but gave him an Astra “. Make of that what you will…..

They recruited hom from the Erasmus coaching set-up.   Weasmus use of computerized analysis of player performances is advanced and like Erasmus - Jnes was a computer rugby analysis fanatic.  

I think that is where Jones were not used and woulxd ievitably leave the Enlish coaching set-up.

Dunno about other countries but Robertson has appointed eight coaches.

It's a high-pressure job, everyone needs to be pulling from the same direction or tempers will flare.
It must get pretty heated before things culminate in the end of the relationship.

Why's it always happen to the good guys....I wish Stick would quit the Boks.

Aug 25, 2024, 03:34

You're blaming the wrong people ................... tell the gummint to get the fk out of our sport. After more than a lifetime of interference & control its time to step aside.

Government should stick to maintaining infrastructure and but the hell out of everything else...everything they touch turns to sh!t.

Tony Brown,s input is more visible as a attack coach….possibly because Rassie gives him more freedom and actual Attack Coaching Talent being implemented.

When Jones was Attack coach, it was mostly build around Stampkar :) I am sure he can land a job with the Ireland Rugby team.

Apparently the England players aren’t best pleased about the situation. 

Aug 25, 2024, 21:39

Um Mpower - Jones was the Bok defence coach not the attacks coach

Aug 26, 2024, 09:39

Oh ok.

"I wish Stick would quit the Boks."

So do I!

Not even his mother likes him. Do yourself a favour and check out his full name on Wikipedia.

Mzwandile Wanky Stick

Aug 26, 2024, 14:13

Shame man.

Aug 26, 2024, 23:35

It is difficult to understand why Stick’s mother would give him that slang word as a middle name??

Interestingly Stick grew up in the same village as Siya in the Eastern Cape.

Another interesting thing is that in 2016 there was a thread here on Ruckers where a heated discussion went on about Wanky stick….

It appears that Borthwick has been called in to meet with the RFU top brass to discuss why his coaches keep leaving……

Aug 27, 2024, 19:25

Good old Borthwick another twat with piss poor people management skills much like Jake and Eddie

My son tells me that when Rory was in the England coaching set up Eddie made them start at 4:30am in the morning

What a prick

Aug 27, 2024, 19:34

Yeah I read that he did that. Eddie is just mad, I think. 

Just read an article in the Independent about Felix and Aled Walters departures. The players they talked to, all Saints, are not happy at all about it.

Some methods used to install discipline isn't always popular...fine line between "building up" or "breaking down".

Kamp Staaldraad cough, cough....

Aug 27, 2024, 19:49

Oh God. Kamp Staaldraad was insane !! 

Aug 27, 2024, 20:13

Not so much...some of  us grew up in a military boot camp "culture"...conscription and "the Army makes you a man"...breaking someone before building him up again...taking it a step further to a sport like rugby wasn't that outlandish for someone like Strauli...I'm actually surprised the story leaked...luckily the "culture" has moved on since then.

Aug 27, 2024, 20:17

True. 

South Africa is a different world, Draad :) 

I read a lot about the Kamp in Corne Krige’s book 

Aug 27, 2024, 20:25

Things have changed drastically over the last 35 years...I'd say an even mix of  some things better and some worse...still a great place to live though...the good more than makes up for the bad...and for me, the balance are beginning to tip towards good...

Aug 27, 2024, 20:56

The Army was a waste of two years of my life - certainly never turned me into a man

They tried their hardest to break me for 10 months at Infantry School - bunch of sadistic wankers

Fuck those boer PF’s hated me

Aug 27, 2024, 21:12

I’m glad you’re still happy there, Draad. Just stay safe :) 


As for you, Saffolk…..they should have sent a half naked woman in to “ break “ you ;) 

Aug 27, 2024, 21:32

Why half naked I prefer naked

Aug 27, 2024, 21:37

I know you do !!!
