Coetzee confirms his Bok snub
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has again confirmed that he will NOT feature in the Springbok coaching set-up.
Coetzee told a media gathering on Monday that he had not been approached by Heyneke Meyer to form part of the Bok coaching team.
Speaking after his team’s training session in Cape Town, Coetzee denied media reports that he had spoken to Meyer about taking a job as assistant coach.
Meyer is tipped to succeed Peter de Villiers when the new national coach is named, probably on Friday.
“Heyneke never approached me,” Coetzee said.
“We last chatted about two weeks ago, but we did not speak about Springbok-related matters.”
Coetzee confirmed last week that he was not on the SA Rugby Union’s shortlist for the Bok head coach’s job.
The shortlist has been whittled down to just one name – Meyer.
