But who is on the end of his latest tongue lashing?
None other than England coach, Martin Johnson.
The cause of Venter's rant is Johnno's failure to include any Sarries stars in England's 44-man squad to tour Australia and New Zealand this summer.
And if that wasn't enough, Venter is also furious that only three players, Alex Goode, Brad Barritt and Andy Saull, have been selected for the Saxons to play in the Churchill Cup.
He said: "If Brad isn't in the best 44, then England have some unbelievable players.
"To suggest [as the England hierarchy are said to have done] that he is too small is absurd."
Not one to keep his opinions to himself, the former South Africa centre continued:
"I said to Martin that's one place where they've got it wrong. Brad has a very low error rate, he passes beautifully, kicks well out of hand and he's a great communicator. He was our best player against Leicester last weekend. The three best teams in the Premiership have been Leicester, Northampton and Saracens, and for us to have three individuals out of 70 is amazing."
Erm, isn't that because there are only three English guys in the entire Saffacens squad?
Hell hath no fury like a director of rugby scorned eh....?
Get used to it mate - Gloucester players rarely get picked in comparison to other clubs even when their boys are on top form - that's just the way it is - some clubs are looked upon more favourably then others and it's just tough!
