What we need - even more than a new Springbok coach - is a South African Max Boyce. Boyce, if you don't already know him, is the president of Glynneath Rugby Football Club in south Wales. He is also a singer, guitar player (acoustic, not the namby-pamby electric version) and the greatest devotee of Welsh rugby. It was Boyce, now 71, who many years ago remarked that Wales never lost a game of rugby; it was just that, on occasion, their opponents scored more points than they did.Bok rugby could do with a bit of humour this week, and I don't mean Fikile Mbalula.Of course, I blame the media for the lack of humour. We could have nipped all the Sunday misery in the bud with a headline that - like most good headlines - springs to mind only long after the horse had bolted the printshop floor.But we are so PC these days that the now obvious headline might not have made it onto the front page, even if we'd thought of it at the time.It centres on Karne Hesketh, the wing formerly of Napier Boys High, who is married to a female All Black and who came off the bench for Japan on Saturday to score the winning try against the Springboks:BOKS SUNK BY JAP SUB!Not my headline, I must sadly confess, but one that a former colleague down in Cape Town came up with. He's a lot brighter than I am and immediately saw the funny side of the Bok defeat. The rest of us on Saturday night were too glum to find anything amusing about losing to the Brave Blossoms. Not even another wonderful Eddie Jones press conference after the match could lift our spirits.When Jones becomes coach of the Stormers next year, the people at Newlands should sell tickets to his after-match media musings. Once, when he coached the Wallabies, he was cross-examined by some tough Aussie journalists following a narrow defeat at Newlands. The loss had come after two recent defeats by the hated Poms, one at Twickenham and another in Melbourne. Jones's position as the Wallaby coach, at least in the eyes of the Aussie media, was in jeopardy at the time."So where to from here Eddie?" an Aussie scribe asked of the coach at the Newlands post-match mutterings, no doubt hoping for some detailed exposition on the fate of the coach and some of his players."Well, mate," came his deadpan reply. "I don't know about you, but we are headed for Johannesburg tomorrow and then it's on to Mauritius."I somehow can't imagine Heyneke Meyer coming up with a line like that.The best we can hope for from our dour HM is another meaningless discourse on "quality players".Even if he lacks a sense of humour, Meyer is said to be an honourable man. In which case he needs to do the honourable thing once the Boks are home and fall on his samurai sword. Any coach who gets it as wrong as Meyer did on Saturday should go off and find another team (possibly at Gansbaai Primary where, I'm told, they have a very fine coach). Or he could learn Japanese. He might then find that the rugby world has moved on...
