What do you think about the new Springbok coach, Pieter De Villiers ?

Question

Why him and why not Heineke Meyer ? Meyer won the 1st Super 14 title for South Africa. De Villiers I never heard off.

Answer 1

I would choose Meyer over De Villiers, if only to keep pace with the All Blacks and Wallabies.

Robbie Deans was a major coaching upgrade for Australia, and the All Blacks will play with intensity after their RWC disappointment.

I don't think De Villiers is a bad coach, and the Boks will do well in their European tests.  But I think the All Blacks and Wallabies will make greater strides toward the 2011 RWC.

Answer 2

I think he will preform well and will lead them to a second place finish in the Tri-Nations Cup

Answer 3

he has very good coaching credentials anh has won world titels with the baby boks.

Answer 4

good

Answer 5

He is pale in comparison to Deans and Henry.

But if he can keep things ticking over smoothly, Matfeild and Smit should provide enough leadership to keep the Bokke in the game.
