Die ding het mos nou behoorlik geruk this past week.
It all started with Chester Williams’s wife Maria saying that doors weren’t open for her late husband at a memorial service held last Wednesday.
South African Rugby Union president Mark Alexander then hit back, saying Chester was given opportunities but he opted not to take them or resigned from them.
Nou as dit nie al is nie, then ex-Bok coach Peter de Villiers also said he can not support the Springboks at the World Cup because of the whole Eben Etzebeth drama.
If ever De Villiers wondered why he is struggling to find a job, I believe the answer lies therein, his honesty and refusal to “play along”.
Die man se ‘n ding soos hy isand that is honourable.
In terms of Chester being chucked out by the system, I don’t know the true ins and outs.
But I believe SA Rugby is too quick to throw away coaches. Why aren’t De Villiers, Heyneke Meyer, Jake White and company still in our system?
Chester was once the national Sevens team coach and it looks like that was his sip of the poisoned chalice. Same thing happened to Paul Treu, who is having a tough time at Western Province Rugby.
Boys, this system is designed to spit you out once it’s used you.
Rather take your time getting to the top, instead of enjoying a quick rise and a hard fall.
Daai’s maar net my twee sente. Enjoy the week
