It will be a great shame if the Boks ever ditch Peter de Villiers as their coach according to the New Zealand Herald's Wynne Gray.
"On several fronts de Villiers is gold. He is automatic copy for journos on a slow news day, full of unusual quips, retorts and observations. He is also priceless for opponents who know some de Villiers outbursts will rile his own team.
"How much longer the ever-so-sensible captain John Smit and his crew put up with de Villiers will be a fascinating part of the Springboks' timeline towards the next World Cup.
"South Africa are required to have a number of black players and staff but they need some more astute selections. De Villiers is the bloke who wants to be in top rugby, who wants to "run with the big dogs and lift his leg" as well. Get the picture?
"The bloke carries a permanent entertainment rating if you can decipher his high-pitched intonation but he is harmless compared to some of his predecessors."
