Cape Town - The Springboks have finished 2017 with 7 wins, 4 losses and 2 draws from their 13 Tests. 

While that may be a significant improvement from their 4 wins and 8 defeats in 2016, it might not be enough to save coach Allister Coetzee from getting the sack when SA Rugby meets in mid-December to discuss his performance. 

The year started with a lot of hope after five straight wins - three against France and two against Argentina - but a 57-0 loss against the All Blacks in Albany quickly brought the Boks crashing back down to earth.
