SYDNEY - South Africa Rugby president Oregan Hoskins has lashed out at Sanzar partners Australia and New Zealand over the disciplinary hearing for controversial Springboks coach Peter de Villiers.
Hoskins labelled the hearing - to be held in Cape Town on Saturday - "a declaration of war by Australia and New Zealand against South Africa", the Cape Argus reports.
The SA rugby boss also vowed to stand behind de Villiers who is under fire over his comments about the refereeing of his team.
