De Villiers stalks Sables

THE Zimbabwe Rugby Union (ZRU) might have settled for former Springbok coach Peter de Villiers to take over the Sables coaching job after the South African was invited to help the national Under-20 team, who are preparing for a tournament that will be played in Nambia.

De Villiers arrived in the country yesterday and attended the national Under-20 team training session at Harare Sports Club in the evening.

ZRU chief executive officer Sifiso Made yesterday said De Villiers had come in on a familiarisation tour since he had applied for the national 15s team coaching post.
