The latest industrial action within South Africa has robbed the residents of Soweto from experiencing a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a Springbok coaching clinic in their own area. The following from SARU:

The Springbok squad has been left disappointed by the cancellation of a coaching clinic planned for Soweto on Thursday afternoon.

Industrial action in the country over the past two days has made it impossible for the clinic, scheduled to take place at Soweto Rugby Club, to go ahead.

“The players were looking forward to hosting the clinic but circumstances beyond our control have forced its cancellation,” said coach Peter de Villiers.

“The guys are truly disappointed but also understand the reasons for the cancellation. They are also appreciative of the efforts of the Soweto Rugby Club which could do little to prevent the cancellation of the clinic,” de Villiers said.
