Nick Mallett, Ex Springbok and Ex Springbok coach and also now the coach of the Azuri made a promise to his Azuri charges that he’d shave his head if the Azuri loses with less than 20 points this past Saturday, so we can expect to see a “New Mallett” for this coming weekend’s clash.

After the 29-13 win by the Springboks against Italy in Witbank on Saturday, Nick said he would stick to his promise to shave off his hair if Italy lost by less than 20 points.

Saturday’s 16 points difference beat the 19 (score 40-21) in 1995 and last year’s 22 (score 32-10).

Mallett indicated that he’s probably sport a beanie on the head when next we see him.
