Springbok rugby legend Naas Botha on Monday said he saw no reason why current coach Peter de Villiers could not remain part of the Bok set up.

The announcement of Springbok coach will be made at the end of January, with de Villiers as one of the known candidates.
Botha said, “I would keep Peter [de Villiers] as part of the team because he must have learnt quite a number of things in the four years that he’s been there. You can’t just discard all that experience.”
He said the next coach must learn from the mistakes of the past.
“I think we’ve made mistakes. Nick [Mallett] made a mistake when he fired Gary Teichmann before the world cup. When you select a Springbok side, do yourself a favour, pick the guys who are in form and that’s the end of it.”

Jis Naas….what are you thinking. Get the man as far away as possible, he had nothing useful to contribute to the game except for his exemplary treatment of the players and their fondness of him. I would rather let Rassie fill the temp position, he is going to the Boks after all.
