Boots and All on Supersport the debate

When are the rugby viewing public going to say enough is enough and demand some quality debate and great opinion from Boots and All as opposed to the rubbish that is dished out each Thursday week after week.

Supersport has the lavish studio , the resources and the cash yet the quality of information coming out of the show boarders on an insult to the rugby viewing public.

The show is littered with every superlative to be found in the dictionary to describe the great play seen week after week ,yet not once is their any constructive criticism or debate about the way teams are playing.

The SA teams are always good and never have we seen any debate about the failings of any of the teams. One only needs to look at the BBC show re the EPL league to see how a show should be run, great guests ,great host and the guests offer an opinion and discuss in detail the pros and cons of each team and generally who will win and why, as opposed to Boots and All which has this feel good factor all the time.

Surely the powers that be can see thru all of this, or has SA rugby got such a hold on Boots and All that they dare not put a foot wrong.

As for getting Victor Matfield as a guest / expert , yes I agree a great call and rumor has it he received a big pay cheque as well , but did someone coach him to say more that three sentences per link. Please help the bloke! He is making a fool out of his world class rugby brain and none of his knowledge is coming across on TV at all.

Matthew Pearce is a” nice”host on Boots and All but” nice” does not make for fantastic viewing. Please tell him to get stuck in with decent questions so that the debate and issues raised can be extended on social media channels and in the printed press.

Give us information we did not know, or dispel rumors as opposed to blowing smoke up the guests you know what. A prime example of a great debate is ,Is Robbie Fleck and good enough backline coach for the DHL Stormers? One just needs to see what Wayne Smith has done in one season at the Chiefs .This could be a really good debate.

What do you think?
