There may be a few errors in respect of Peter's CV. He coached the Falcons and not the Valke. These are different teams even though it is a translation of the same animal. It is rather sad that there is this constant reference to an Affirmative Action appointment as if Peter's rugby credentials are suspect. Quoting the inapproriate statements of the President of SARU while not reflecting on the rigour of the selection process is somewhat mischievious. It is important to note that 7 out of 8 interviewers from the interview process and who were best placed to make an informed decision, found his credentials to be authentic and highly credible. It is also important to note that not one credible rugby commentator has questioned his credentials. Fourth Estate manipulation of opinion has been at the forefront of protecting the racist legacy of rugby in South Africa and in that respect most articles about Peter DeVilliers reflects on the quality of journalism rather than the competence of the new coach. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.226.194 (talk) 12:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree. Some mention should be made of his win ratio as Springbok coach (approximately 75% and the best since Kitch Christie). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.245.149.77 (talk) 21:35, 25 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I believe that his name is spelt the afrkaans way Pieter not peter.Scubasteve55 (talk) 22:10, 15 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

You may be thinking of Pieter de Villiers (rugby player). The Who's Who of Southern Africa lists him under the English spelling, "Peter". Wcp07 (talk) 00:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
