Ireland used a 6:2 bench to win France in the Six Nations Why did he not complain about them? Stop harassing the Boks Austrailian
Polite way to say, โwho da fuq is that Matt Williams? I donโt know that dude heโs unimportant.โ
Can Matt Williams have a point of view? Jesus, he's a pundit and has his own views. I don't agree with a lot of them, but he's a good laugh to have on.. It's like nobody now can say anything anymore without being ridiculed on line behind a screen.. fair play Matt, keep it up ๐ some nasty trolls out there.
Really enjoy Rassie not making changes,most test caps in one team ever,really something to be proud off.Hes player's will run through walls for a reason.
How many saffa's agree… If Rassie was candidate no 1 a couple months back, he WOULD be president now
We in Ireland don't listen to that clown his a cry baby on a shite tV channel for clicks ๐ข๐ข
Williams is one big bluffer who gets way too much media time in Ireland .He now uses the word we when talking about the Irish team,this from a guy who is Australian. His whole time is devoted to running down South African rugby.
Both spew utter shite at a world class level. It's sad though — Rassie on;y started to do it when he left Munster moved home and had to make his thick countrymen happy since they don't understand that their team can't win without the direct help from the refs.
Rasie was smart enough to know he couldn't pull that shite in Ireland where the supporters know & care about the sport.
Has Matt Williams ever played or coached a team that has had any real success? What is your qualifications in the sport that makes you think you can criticise a person who came third in a WC as a player and won it twice as a coach?
Matt doesn't speak for the Irish..
Matt Williams and John Kirwan are cut from the same cloth. Quite incredible they coached 3 test teams between them when they were coaching on little more than "vibes". If they were at all capable at all they would still be holding down coaching gigs rather than being talking heads offering up little more than tired platitudes
Williams raises the viewer stats. Not only the contempt.
Someone is jealous!๐
this is a personal dispute between Matt Williams and an entire nation
Thatโs not what Matt Williams said. He wasnโt speaking about South Africa. Stop trying to cause trouble by being disingenuousโฆ
Who on earth is Matt Welsh
Lol hahahahaha "i know his coaching records"๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐
KEEP TO WHAT IS WORKING FOR YOUR SPRINGBOKS RASSIE ๐
These Northerners are WHINGERS and ALWAYS has excuses when nothing goes their way.
We Southern Hemisphere Powerhouses got to stick together againts these Northern Moaners ๐
RWC RECORD IS….
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE = 9
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE = 1
Why change a Winning formula?
UP DA BOKKES, THE MIGHTY A.Bz and WALLABYs โค๐ณ๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ฒโค
Matt Williams is not a great pundit. He seems to say things more for media snippets and clicks than to provide any kind of real insight.
i dont give a shit about matt whatever. Rassie youre a genius.
Calling a Collision Sport Unsafe is Non Sensical .Common Sense will prevail.
Matt Williams was a shocking coach with Scotland and it seems he's continued his career for the past few years in a similarly incompetent and shocking pundit.
It's the poor Irish fans who need to tolerate him on TV and luckily not us.
Oh Rassie, his coaching record๐
Kak snaaks๐
Matt William does not represent the thoughts of Ithe Irish rugby public in any way. He's an Australian pundit who makes a living in Ireland from been controversial
Coaches reacting to individual commentators is like a reality TV show!
I dont get the comment. if anything it would be less dangerous,
The SA tactic that dumbs down rugby to a simple muscle test but do not criticise it or be prepared to be insulted if you do.
If everyone played the same style of rugby, it would be boring. You have to look at the type of players you have in your system and form a game plan according to your strengths if you want to win and be successful.
Guys who want to change the rules to benefit or help themselves are the ones who will ruin the game. Rassie studies the laws and rules of the game and stays within them. You can change the rules, take away the scrum or the 6-2 split. Rassie is a person who thinks outside the box. He will probably dominate the next thing, and then youโll cry and stop lineouts, or say wingers with scrum caps cannot sidestep.
You know, Mr. Matt Williams, the worst thing you can do as a coach or "expert" is to make excuses about why you canโt compete against someone. You are supposed to try and beat the other team with your own game plan and abilities. It will never be an even playing field because some teams have more players with gifted talents, but that doesnโt mean you canโt beat them in other parts of the game.
And one last thing: Rassie has earned the respect of his players, up-and-coming players, and the countryโs supporters. Again, he's ticking off all the boxes that he needs toโpleasing you is not one of them
Who is matt Williams?
sounds like a generic name player on a tv game ๐ฎ
Who cares what Matt says. Cry Matt a river
Matt Williams been crying about SA for a long time! He is a baby, always will be! Hey Matt. We have 4 World Cups baby! And Rassie has 2 of those. How many do you have?
