Paarl is Ackerman the most likely successor to Meyer? If so I'm afraid.


He's finished 12th and 8th in Super Rugby. I'd be less afraid of him than Meyer being coach. 4 more years and learning from his mistakes can only be a good thing - like Graham Henry. Who he did better than in his first outing.

But given his players? He plays the best style (Cheetahs are most attacking but they're also too loose most of the time) and it seems to be really successful. He gets a lot of some lesser known players.

When Meyer took over in 2000, we had the shittest team known to man. He was responsible for building that up to what it became.
