He's not the world's best public speaker. I'm not sure if English is his second language but he always sounds like he hasn't quite understood the question.

First rule of public life - only answer the question you wanted asked, not the one put to you.

I remember a comedy team doing an impression of Bob Hawke, who was asked a question by a "reporter", Bob replied with his usual rant. The reporter interrupted him and said Mr Hawke you are avoiding the question, No he said, I am avoiding the answer.

So any word from those who are there whether the Saffa's booed or cheered him?

[jono]

well, he would have only just appeared there now. so it might be a bit early to tell

[lara93]

i wish i went

don't respect him as a coach. only reason why he's there is cos of politics. Watching the training session on thurs, everyone could see Dick Muir was doing all the coaching while Peter De Villiers looked more comfortable as an equipment manager. I'd rather listen to John Mitchell speak anyday than Peter De Villiers. At least good old johnny has coached a super 14 team.

yeah true but o well

fair point GTF...
