Straeuli faces stand-down calls

South African coach Rudolf Straeuli faces calls for him to be sacked this week along with several other administrators following the Springboks’ shoddy display at the World Cup.

Straeuli, whose side were demolished 29-9 by the All Blacks in Melbourne on Saturday in the quarter-finals, will know his fate in the next few days as pressure mounts to fire him because of his results.
