Emergency meeting to discuss Bok boot camp
South Africa Rugby president Silas Nkanunu has ordered an urgent meeting of the board of directors at which Springbok coach Rudolf Straeuli’s future will come under renewed scrutiny.
On a day when the national sports minister Ngconde Balfour likened the Boks’ pre-World Cup training boot camp to an “apartheid camp”, Nkanunu convened a board meeting amid the public outrage that has followed TV broadcasts of what went on at the Springboks’ pre-World Cup “Kamp Staaldraad” (Camp Steelwire).
