HEYNEKE Meyer was confirmed as the new coach of the Springboks on a four-year contract by the South African Rugby Union yesterday.
The 44-year-old Meyer takes over from Peter de Villiers, who coached the Springboks to the quarterfinals of last year's World Cup. Meyer led the Blue Bulls to four Currie Cup titles in the last decade, and in 2007 to the first Super Rugby crown by an African team in the professional era, making him the standout candidate for the job. Gert Smal was thought to be the other major contender, but was reportedly intent on honoring his contract till 2013 as the forwards coach with Ireland.
