NATIONAL NEWS - The controversial former Springbok coach believes the governing body has prevented him from becoming Boland coach twice.
Peter de Villiers, the motormouth former Springbok coach, is at it again with his controversial statements.
The 59-year-old, who has held low-profile gigs since his contract with the national side wasn’t renewed in 2011, alleges the South African Rugby Union (Saru) is sabotaging his future employment.
In an interview with the radio show Jo’burg PM, De Villiers claims members of the local governing body have paid Boland bribes not to hire him.
De Villiers has twice, in 2015 and 2016, been linked with the Cavaliers’ head coach position, only to lose out to other, relatively obscure candidates.
“They will never allow me to go to any rugby union in South Africa. What I heard very early last year is that people from SARU paid Boland actually, or offered them money not to even consider me,” he said.
“I heard it from a very good source.”
