Peter de Villiers called it quits as South Africa coach after the reigining champions lost a World Cup quarterfinal to Australia on Sunday.
“It was a brilliant journey,” said de Villiers, who took over from Jake White following the Springboks’ 2007 World Cup win.
“There’s a time to come and a time to go and I think the journey for me is over,” he added

Ai – hello AC
October 9th, 2011 at 10:03 am
ja-ja,
At the very least
he quit quickly.
almost as quick as the Bokke’s exit
in the 2011 world cup.
October 9th, 2011 at 10:22 am
HAAAAAALELUUUUUJAAAAH!!!
October 9th, 2011 at 11:28 am
BRING BACK MALLET!!!!
And start winning!!!!!
October 9th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
Mallet is not interested sadly.
October 9th, 2011 at 1:09 pm
You will see the Stormers/WP coaching staff stepping forward. Either all of them or at least two of them.

Mallett kan ook maar lekker loop kak
ná wat hy aan Teichmann gedoen het.
October 9th, 2011 at 1:32 pm
So have the
submitted their CVs yet
October 9th, 2011 at 3:23 pm
Rassie and Coetzee will by all indications coach the Boks. Would then not be surprised to see Muir at WP.
Bok coach should have been H Meyer. Mitchell would be my personal choice but that will never happen. Mitchell will bring the Boks up to a new level of playing the game …. what we desperately need. Unfortunately those running SA rugby are somewhat xenophobic.
October 9th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
rassie is as big a poepol as Poepolpiet.
As a player his basic skills were never above average.
He has not coached a win
on any great international platform.
In the land of the blind
the poepol with one eye is king.
Mallet is the only south african worth a thought.
Otherwise is must be a Aussie or Kiwi
sincethey have knobbed us so many times
that we should talk less about our strenghts
and listen
October 9th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
ja Oudste,
Mallet is no angel,
however he is a winner above all.
October 9th, 2011 at 5:42 pm
I predict AC as the next Bok coach – if he gets the right assistants then we might have a chance. On the bright side maybe Mallet or Venter can take over WP/Stormers
October 9th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
what has alister coetzee done.
Fuck all.
Why would he be Bok coach?
fuck knows.

having seen the stormers over the past 2 years I will be loath to support the boks even more if they adopt that playing style.
my backline man is slaptjips. he has to be there. my forwards man is naka.
October 9th, 2011 at 8:42 pm
Mallet in my opinion is a doos royale.
Can’t deny what he has achieved with them eyeties and his winning run with the Boks and all but as a player I would hate to play under a coach like that. Played under\against a coach like that last year – I’m not a violent man but murder sometimes seems like a good solution…
Cheers
October 9th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Ja-ja,
we need a kiwi or a frog as
a backline coach,
natural hands.
Best side in the world with it.
October 9th, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Methos,
i agree,
Nick is a doos.
But a winner above all.
A true general.
Not only with the bokke,
with the frogs first ever coach to win a frog cup
in his first year.
first ever back to back.
Italy is another example.
But a nazi to work under,
thats a general boet.
I’d rather play for a doos and win
than play for a great ou
and lose.
I like winning.
I detest losing.

Reply to Duiwel @ 9:00 pm:
losing is part and parcel of sport – we play because we enjoy it.
October 9th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
I make a leftfield suggestion that Brenden Venter will be very close to the top of the list…
My dream team
Head: Frans Ludeke
Attack: Slaptjips
Defence: Jacques Nienaber
Forwards: Mathew Proudfoot
Backs: Paul Treu
I suspect Paul Treu might also be near the top of the list
AC has too many close ties to Jake… screwed left right and center…

Reply to Boertjie @ 9:34 pm: exactly.
Snor failed, he did not leave a legacy of players and only had 62% success rate. For the Boks nothing shorts of 80% is acceptable.
Please not Coetsee, he has not won anything meaningfull to even be considered.

Reply to Kevin_rack @ 4:27 am:
Using those arguments, you can say that the Snake also failed.
October 10th, 2011 at 7:36 am
There is only 1 SA coach that has that stat as far as I know, and he is dead. RIP Mac

Reply to Ollie @ 7:36 am:
Mac? You mean Kitch! 100% success rate – the rest are ALL failures according to Kevin.
This entitlement by some SA fans is ridiculous – probably why they end up bitching when we lose and bitching when we win but not pretty enough
October 10th, 2011 at 8:21 am
oops, always get mixed up between the 2. Indeed, Kitchen Christie. I blame my mistake on the ref
October 10th, 2011 at 8:24 am
kitchen = Kitch. Bloody predictive texting on mobiles
October 10th, 2011 at 8:43 am
Ja-ja JT,
who is your we pale-face?
I play a fair biof sport.
I rarely lose.
I don’t play my sport only
because i like the sport
but because i like to win at that sport.
