Having the first black Rugby coach is monumental for South Africa’s Springbok Rugby team. However, all the glory that was supposed to be felt by the team and the new coach - Peter de Villiers – has been overshadowed by controversy.

De Villiers has threatened to resign as the team’s Rugby Coach.

“I should walk away from this job and give it back to the whites,” he stated.

Such reaction comes after he was accused of illicit behavior.

As it seems, the Springbok’s Rugby media officer – Chris Hewitt - approached de Villiers with threats of exposing a sex tape. The sex tape supposedly shows de Villiers with an unknown woman. Hewitt is now facing disciplinary action because of his claims.

de Villiers said that the alleged tape was being used to blackmail him into accepting a new player into the team.

“I knew there were still people who do not want a black coach; I just never knew the extent people would go to discredit me,” he said.

The SARU (South African Rugby Union) has since determined that the allegations against de Villiers are false and without basis.
