No there were a number of applicants, as I posted in another thread, I was told by a Board Member ( who is from your Club, Mr Gunfighter ) on Community Rugby semi final day, that we are not going to get a name Coach, and that both Lancaster and Meyer applied and were told they were unsuccessful, and the only positive was that the " new " Coach would be more engaged with Community Rugby. My comment to him was " you'll be lucky to get 4 to 5 thousand people at NIB next season ", as people want a name Coach who will attract name players. Another comment was posted about Paly's Coach, Donny Stevenson, who Coached Northland in the NZ NPC and also Coached NZ Maori, he's far more experienced than Wessels, whether he applied I don't know. All Wessels has done has taken a Club side as an Assistant Coach in Cape Town to a Premiership, not a ringing endorsement to be a Super Rugby Coach. Unfortunately I can see the Force being relocated to Gosford in 2022.
