Gatland best coach in world, claims new Boks supremo

WALES coach Warren Gatland is the best in the world, according to his South African opposite number Peter de Villiers.

De Villiers, the first black coach of the Springboks, takes charge of South Africa for the first time against Wales in Bloemfontein on Saturday.

The reigning world champions will go into the Test match as the hot favourites to continue their winning streak, but De Villiers — who succeeded Jake White in the Bok hot seat — is taking nothing for granted.
