South Africa coach Allister Coetzee insists he should not be blamed entirely for the Springboks disastrous year. The Springboks complete a dreadful 2016 against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday with Coetzees future in some doubt.South Africa have lost seven of their 11 Tests this year - including a record 57-15 defeat to New Zealand and a first-ever home loss to Ireland - and on Saturday were beaten by Italy for the first time in 13 attempts. In the wake of that 20-18 defeat in Florence, SA Rugby president Mark Alexander appeared to cast doubt over Coetzees future by releasing a statement questioning results and performances.Alexander also promised an end-of-season review after coming up against a Wales side who have been holding their own inquest after squeezing past Japan 33-30 on Saturday.

But I only got started in April and there are challenges in South African rugby that are unique to us.Theres no excuse for the poor performance, but there are discussions happening and it is looking really positive.This is a great opportunity to address the problems and clean out the wounds. We need to diagnose and treat the symptoms of it.In the 21 years since our World Cup win in 1995 weve only had four good years, and if we continue what weve been doing youre not going to see any different result. South Africas players show their disappointment following their 20-18 defeat to Italy last Saturday Weve got this chance to make South African rugby come first and become aligned. There has to be a South African way of playing and that is starting to come around.Theres a lot of dark clouds, but the silver lining is there I believe.The 53-year-old has extensive coaching experience in South Africa at both Western Province and the Stormers.Coetzee led Super rugbys Stormers for five years until 2015 before succeeding Heyneke Meyer as Springboks coach.We are low in confidence and well try our best to try and fix the problems, Coetzee said. Saturday was dreadful and no-one can be happy with that result.We are in a bit of a hole at the moment and the buck stops with me. It is my responsibility to get the team out of that hole.

But Ive got a four-year deal and we want to end this tour on a good note.I can promise you this weekend is going to be a physical battle decided by small margins.South Africa and Wales are two very passionate rugby countries and nationals coaches have a massive responsibility on their shoulders.I dont know about the (criticism of the) Welsh, but I do know they are a quality Test side.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.

"I know for the U.S., at times, they just look at it as another game and they come into the game nice and light and bright, whereas our girls often see it as something bigger than it is," he said Thursday from Vancouver, as the Canadian roster for the exhibition game next Thursday was announced. "Were looking at some new strategies to try and retain the passion but remove the psychological burden." For Winnipeg-born midfielder Desiree Scott, the pressure will be even greater than he suggested. It will be the first time her parents have ever seen her play live. "Its a massive thing for Desiree and weve all got a big smile on our faces," Herdman said. But he says part of the teams job will be to help her focus on doing what she does best and ignore the added pressure. This is a good chance to see how much development has taken place since Herdman started to refocus the team on the kind of game he says they need to play to be competitive at the 2015 World Cup, being held in cities across Canada, including Winnipeg. "This is where your true gap analysis comes in and you get a great sense of how far youve come along the line towards success at the World Cup," he said. "Theres a certain style and approach we want to go with. . . Its more abouut in this game the attacking processes of managing the ball better under the sort of pressure the U.ddddddddddddS. put you under, as well as being a lot more clinical in those key moments, that transitional moment where we are getting chances but not converting." Canada, currently ranked seventh, lost to the No. 1-ranked Americans 1-0 in Texas in their first meeting this year and hasnt managed to beat the Americans since 2001. Then there was the bitter semi-final loss to the Americans at the 2012 Olympics, where a controversial call by a referee left Canadian fans, and players, outraged. One player from that heartbreaker will be returning for this match. Striker Melissa Tancredi is back after taking a couple of years off to return to school. "Shes close to returning back to professional football in the NWSL and to be back full-time with Canada so shell come into this squad a little bit behind the eight-ball but Melissas presence is always felt." He says shes not going to be able to play 90 minutes after being off for two years, but shes a tough competitor with the kind of spirit and grit that can rub off on young players. One player Herdman would have liked still hasnt recovered enough from an ACL injury to play, natural left-footer Lauren Sesselmann, and hes also missing those who play for Swedish teams because of the travel time and a short turnaround. It provides a chance for Herdman to introduce some young players such as 16-year-old Jessie Fleming and 17-year-old Sura Yekka.
