Krige blasts De Villiers apponintment

Former South Africa captain Corne Krige has predicted “seven lean years” ahead for the Springboks after the appointment of Peter de Villiers as national-team coach.

Krige, speaking in his column Losgemaal (loose maul) in the South African Afrikaans paper Sondag, lambasted SA Rugby for the choice of De Villiers over Super 14-winning coach Heyneke Meyer.
