While it may not be official yet it seems all but certain that SARU will end the tumultuous reign of Peter de Villiers in December, and will look elsewhere for a coaching team to take the ailing Springbok side into an exciting new era.

The back of de Villiers will be a welcome sight for South African rugby fans who quickly became disillusioned with his numerous public gaffes and public relations disasters, not to mention his poor record as coach and inability to change a playing style that had far exceeded its expiry date. Add to that de Villiers’ steadfast determination to keep the crux of his playing corps unchanged over his four year reign and it becomes clear why South Africans have become so frustrated with the man known as Snor.

Great piece, the problem with Snor was that they had to back him til the RWC. If they axed him before the RWC then SARugby would be admitting to making a mistake. Lets hope the next bok coach will be removed from these politics. Its about time rugby reasons are the only reasons. We can only hope...
