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. Highlights of Englands opening Autumn International against South Africa at Twickenham Asked about his own future after the Wales game, Coetzee replied: I have signed a four-year contract and Ill do my best to make sure we perform this weekend.Whatever happens, happens. 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.

Soriano led off the inning with a single, and with one out Ryan Sweeney hit a hard grounder down the first base line that got into the deep right field corner for a triple. Soriano scored and second baseman Franklins relay throw home got past catcher Zunino, allowing Sweeney to score on the error and giving the Cubs a 2-0 lead.
