Cape Town – Allister Coetzee’s failure as Bok coach is underscored by the basic numbers from his first two seasons in charge, which inevitably led to his sacking on Friday.
His teams not only lost the most games compared to the performance of the Bok team’s coached by his three predecessors in their first two years in charge, but also conceded the most points and scored the fewest.
Coetzee’s teams also conceded the most tries and scored the fewest tries as well.
