Speaker            Gavin Rich

In the middle of an exciting Rugby season;  the Springboks beat Ireland in a nail-biting series and Super Rugby is drawing to a nail biting close; the guest speaker will answer questions and give us the low down.

Gavin Rich is an award-winning rugby writer who is ideally placed to write about the post-isolation Springbok coaches. He covered the first tour in 1992 and has remained on the beat ever since, a period of 24 years. His observations of the coaches as senior rugby correspondent for Supersport.com, the Weekend Argus and other publications such as SA Rugby Magazine.  Rich is the author of former Bok Coach Peter de Villiers’ best-selling autobiography, Politically Incorrect and Mitch, The Real Story, the autobiography of John Mitchell. He is a Rhodes University Alumni.

A fan of Gavin Rich’s rugby writings, Sandy feels that we couldn't have chosen anybody better placed to write The Springbok Coaches. A riveting and controversial read!

Was Coach Heyneke Meyer the reason the Springboks failed at the 2015 Rugby World Cup? What does the future have in store for the incumbent coach, Allister Coetzee?  In this new, updated edition of The Poisoned Chalice, rugby writer Gavin Rich takes us past the disappointment of the 2015 Rugby World Cup right up to the appointment of Allister Coetzee in April 2016, and dissects not only the successes and failures of these two Springbok coaches, but of all the post-isolation coaches who preceded them.
