Springbok Management Team to be Named in 2012

Published on Oct 11th, 2011, No Comments

SARU Chief Executive Jurie Roux has announced that the subject for the Springbok coaching and entire management team for 2012 will be reviewed by the Executive Council (EXCO) of the South African Rugby Union (SARU) after the completion of the Rugby World Cup now that South Africa have exited the championship. Roux explained that the contracts of all of the national team’s coaching, medical and logistical staff expire at the end of 2011.

“The appointment of the Springbok coaches and management team are easily amongst the most important decisions we must take as an organisation. The next steps we take in that process will be in the very best interests of the Springbok team” said Roux.

Current coach Peter de Villiers has recently retracted the resignation he seemed to make after the Boks were defeated by Australia on Sunday. ”No, I never resigned” said de Villiers. “I was just saying it was the end of the road. It’s logical, I have a four-year contract and I’ve known all along that this day would come.”

The Springboks’ next Test will be against England in a three-Test series in South African in June 2012.
