Why on earth. The lions are on tour

It was basically a warm up game. England are touring Argentina and France are headed to NZ.
Both teams will be severely depleted, Eng due to Lions and France because Top14 isn't finished yet.

Helluva entertaining game. One does feel this french side might get pumped by NZ though.

That depends on what they end up doing with the Top14 players. If they find a way to include them they'll be competitive. If not they'll get pumped.

Could see it coming in the final week of league matches.
20yrs and Jake White still hasnt learnt how to manage his player minutes, overplaying his 'stars' into the ground while his '2nd' stringers see next to zero play and choose to leave to play elsewhere, to great success.
He makes his own life difficult, lettinf talent slip through his fingers only to have to sign up ppl at higher cost to replace.
Everywhere he has coached, even junior lvl before Boks, has been the same. In Aus, everywhere, almost cost us the 2007 WC final too. Its just excuse, after excuse, pointing fingers, blaming others.
His latest 'bring the boks back' is nonsense, he had 12 in his current team. Great coach, sure, but useless at player/squad management.

Not surprised if true. More surprised how long he lasted given his refusal to learn from his repeatedly poor player management mistakes regardless where he coaches with zero self-accountability, always blaming others for his mistakes as headcoach.

Jake on the chopping block?
Johan Ackermann is reportedly being lined up to take charge of the Vodacom Bulls, with claims that senior players and coaches have called for Jake White to be axed.

You're either late, or this is just plain wrong.

Yes, nice blend of new guys and experienced players. Exciting back line. Can't wait to see No. 3, Asenathi, have a run at the Baa Baas. Also nice to see Lood back in action.
