Mallett has introduced a 'new' style of rugby for the Springboks, but it is failing to produce results.
I hope Mallett is not playing into the hands of the Australians, New Zealanders and even the English by trying to be like them, rather than creating a unique Springbok approach, based on the strengths and weaknesses of the players, and imposing it on others.
Mallett is the right man, but you have to look at the whole structure of South African rugby.

If Mallett is speaking of a relish for tackling, then he is probably right, for Joubert in his mid 20's was never a fan of getting hurt for no good reason, and now he is in his mid 30's he has even more reason for his discretion.

 The Witness Group - Home   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Former Springbok coach Nick Mallett admitted in Paris yesterday that fullback Percy Montgomery's two-year ban for pushing a touch judge during a Welsh Premier League match will cost South Africa dearly in this year's Rugby World Cup.
Mallett, who guided the Springboks to a record-equalling 17 successive Test victories before being downed by England, said Montgomery's place-kicking ability would have allowed Rudolf Straeuli to select a more adventurous flyhalf than Louis Koen.
Mallett, who stepped down shortly after South Africa exited in the 1999 World Cup semi-finals, said he agrees with Straeuli's change of policy in selecting players who have moved abroad, such as Thinus Delport.
