SARU play down de Villiers report

The South African Rugby Union (SARU) has played down a weekend report that Peter de Villiers is part of a company that has acquired shares in a local rugby union – a move that could affect the future of the Springbok coach.

Afrikaans newspaper Rapport claimed the 52-year-old was part of a company called Game Plan, that had bought 50% of shares in the Boland Rugby Union.
