I am an avid Springbok rugby fan. We are a pretty good team but have fallen into the trap of keeping players in the team who should have been dropped. Morne Steyn was a superb international kicking flyhalf. He won us games we shouldn't have won by never missing his kicks and putting the opposition under pressure. But he had a poor world cup last year and has been worse ever since. He misses simple kicks, can't break the line and can't tackle.
However, our coach, Heynecke Meyer, is a dyed in the wool old school rugby fan (He was a Leicester coach for a short time which tells you how negative his playing style is) and he brought Steyn through the ranks with him at the Bulls franchise. He insists on playing Steyn because of the player he used to be. This is costing us games and putting more pressure on our own players to pick up the pieces. There are young players waiting to have a go and he is keeping them out of the team.
It's time for him to go!
Any of you been let down by misplayced loyalties where players have been kept on past heeir best whn a better player was waiting in the wings.
