 Why is this clown John McFarland  our defence coach. Our defence has been poor since the start of this year. Jaque Nienaaber was supposed to be involved. What is Rassies Job?

Meyer selects his staff - nothing to do with Rassie

McFarland didn't miss Dagg in a simple one on one tackle....that was Taute. This was all on the players, or at least some of the players.

 Moz I had thought about creating a post just for Taute because he was clearly the worst defender.

Many references from many others have commented about the poor performance of Taute. It does raise questions as to who choose him other than Meyer. He is a fullback playing at outside center. Zane Kirchner was next in line for poor defence. Dejong and Lambie should have started.

The Stormers defensive system works and not all of the players are great tacklers. The current defensive system is not the best that we can do
