Not sure about Stick as backline coach

On a 6 year deal nogal, WOW. :woohoo:

SA need to get in a foreign coach, then there will be no buddy buddy selections and the style of play will change. Sticking with the same old format, hit them hard until they buckle just does not work anymore. Mobile forwards is the way to go not little tree stumps who are out of breath after the first scrum. The SA hooker is the only player who is world class.
