The following from SANZAR: A claim of alleged misconduct against Springbok Coach Peter de Villiers has been dismissed by SANZAR Judicial Officer Jannie Lubbe SC.

The misconduct charge related to comments made by the Springbok Coach on Australia’s Fox Sports ‘Rugby Club’ programme on 21 July 2010.

Mr Lubbe heard the case on Friday 6 August 2010 and after considering the evidence decided that, on balance of probability, Mr de Villiers had not breached the SANZAR code of conduct.

Mr Lubbe stated that during his interview with Fox Sports, Mr De Villiers never mentioned or referred to referees or match fixing.

As the judicial process has concluded, SANZAR will not be making any further comment on the issue.
