Springboks coach faces disciplinary

A misconduct charge has been filed against South Africa rugby coach Peter de Villiers

SANZAR says a misconduct charge against South Africa rugby coach  Peter de Villiers will be heard in Cape Town on Friday.

The governing body for South Africa, New Zealand and Australia’s  combined rugby competitions announced Tuesday that the charge will be heard by its judicial officer Jannie Lubbe at the South African Rugby Union offices.

De Villiers is charged with breaching SANZAR’s Code of Conduct in comments made July 21 on Australian television, when he criticized the performance of Tri-Nations referees and implied a conspiracy to bolster next year’s World Cup in New Zealand.
