NEW SPRINGBOK COACH....VIVA THE BULLS

Cat's out the bag: Heyneke Meyer offered Bok top job

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - Jan 25 2012 12:07



The Blue Bulls Rugby Union (BBRU) on Wednesday confirmed that the South African Rugby Union's (Saru) intent to employ their director of rugby, Heyneke Meyer.

"At a meeting called by Saru, on Tuesday, January 24, with the Blue Bulls Company's board of directors, Saru informed the Blue Bulls Board of their intention to offer Heyneke Meyer the position of national coach," the Blue Bulls said.

The BBRU, however, said it was not in their interests to release Meyer after many "resources and commitments" have been made in order to enable Meyer to fulfil his mandate.

"Should Meyer however decide to accept the position of national coach, he needs to inform the Blue Bulls Board of his decision to abdicate his responsibilities and commitments to the Blue Bulls."

Saru was expected to announce the new Springbok coach at a special general council meeting on Friday. -- Sapa

Now official. Who's gonna be captain & assisting coaches?

Schalk Burger, Josh Strauss (if he makes the squad)

Would love to see Brendan Venter in the mix

All the best Heyneke. We support you 100%

OU RYPERD sorry but SB not a good captain in my eyes

Even though I'm a sharks fan, I'm glad he got the job. He should have had it 4 years ago if it wasn't for BEE.

Look at the Stomers team this year and you will see what BEE does to a team.

There is rumours that Victor Matfield may come back out of retirement. He will then certainly be captain, but if we are planning to win the next world cup, will he still be good enough by then?

What trophy's have the stormers won recently?
