South African Rugby President Oregan Hoskins says that there will be no change in coach despite the Springboks losing streak.
Hoskins says that the only change in the organisation would be the appointment of a new CEO and that Springbok coach Peter de Villiers still had Saru’s backing.
Former Springbok coach Jake White has already announced that he will reapply for his former position after the world cup when De Villiers' contract ends.
Critics jumped on De Villiers saying that he inherited a World cup winning team that was built by Jake White and that the current Springboks coach had been found out at senior international level.
Hoskins however has eased the pressure on De Villiers, saying Saru’s bosses supported the coach to take the team to the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand next year.
"There is a lot of wrong that needs to be made right after the bad start to the Tri-Nations," Hoskins told Newstime.
"But that doesn’t mean that we don’t support the coach."
"We are meeting the coach to hear what went wrong and what needs to be done going forward," said Hoskins.
"But again, he has our full backing."
