So the Stormers it seems will be coach less in a way for 2016 as Eddie Jones has gone after bigger money and taken up the job to coach England.

This just after a week ago it was confirmed that he is the new Stormers head coach. Gert Small has now taken over that duty.

Guess money now talks to coaches too more than it does too players

About that................

May the English finish dead last for the first time ever in the 6 nations, may they go 19 years without winning the 6 nations ever again. I spit on England and Eddie Jones.

Unless Steve Hansen decides to coach the Stormers...

If they get John Mitchell? I think it could still work out well.. But yeah, pretty poor class from Jones.

Well, it's not like Jones woke up one morning, looked at Table Mountain and thought: "Yes, I would rather be in a place more rainy and dreary..."

I don't blame Jones at all for his decision. If ever you are given the option to coach a national team versus a provincial team, you will ALWAYS go for the national team. And then the richest and biggest national team as well. It was an offer he simply could not have refused.

I scheme that they'll get a proper coach before that happens

Yeah, considering that he was offered more than 5mil per year it makes business sense for him to go.

I'm not sure he actually ever woke up in CPT, more like jetted in and right out again. Worst layover ever!

It's starting to sound like the Stormers are going to go with Mitchell. Haven't they learnt from what happened at the Lions and Western Force?

I would be very disappointed indeed if Mitchell does get the job. It does look like it will be him though.

Heyneke Meyer has retired! And it sounds like there's a good chance that Coetzee will be the replacement.

The Stormers haven't announced a coach yet. I wonder what the chances are of Meyer going to the Stormers.

 

[AlienTaker]

Nope i think meyer will resume his post at the bulls as director. And ro bie will most likely take the stormers coaching spot

So we are not off to a good start with the 2nd test match against England. Hope AB and Amla can carry us to a big score, because we really need it. We will drop our number 1 test ranking if we lose this test, I believe.

Oh well, here is to lighten the mood. Some great design work:

Sounds like Hoskins from SARU blocked Mitchell in the end so he signed a 4 year deal with the USA
