Peter de Villiers
Large Paperback
Throughout his tenure as the first black Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers was in the news, and not always for the right reasons.
His battle to be accepted and respected by the rugby fraternity started from the moment his appointment was announced, when his new boss admitted that De Villiers had got the job for reasons "other than rugby".
In his four years as Bok coach, De Villiers experienced huge successes - a series win over the British & Irish Lions and a Tri-Nations trophy - but he also suffered the ignominy of coming last in a Tri-Nations season and seeing his World Cup dream shattered by the controversial officiating of referee Bryce Lawrence. In addition, his outspoken nature and colourful application of the metaphor alternately amused and horrified South African rugby fans, and his close relationship with his senior players begged the question: Who was coaching whom?
Now, in his autobiography, De Villiers answers this question and addresses many more: How he managed to progress from the dusty streets of Paarl as a rugby-mad youngster to the highest job in South African rugby; why his employers tried to manipulate him but failed; why he stuck with John Smit as captain in the 2011 Rugby World Cup; and where his passion for rugby will lead him next.
