So I am picturing a wedding
or a birthday party with 60-90 000 guests.
I didn’t know that there were people living in South
Africa that are that popular!
But, what do I know.
Maybe that was not what he meant?
The New Zealand Herald sports writer Chris
Rattue, who made himself very unpopular in South Africa
when he referred to Johannesburg during the Soccer World
Cup as a "hell-hole", is cause for yet another
smile.
I am all smiles today.
In his article, Rattue calls for coach de
Villiers to be fired.
"De Villiers was a political appointment - the administration
acknowledged as much about a man with no senior coaching
CV.
"If South African rugby had foresight and real desperation,
it would realise the game is up, the joke is over, and give
de Villiers the boot, and quick," he concluded.
But further on he implies that de Villiers
does not coach the Springboks at all.
‘Smit - by quiet account - actually runs the Springbok
team along with veteran lineout ace Victor Matfield, with
input from the assistant coaches,’ he writes.
