Frustrated South African rugby fans have started a petition calling for the axing of the Springboks coaching staff and boycotting of Boks games because of racial discrimination.
The petition comes in the wake of the Springboks suffering their worst home defeat, a 57‑15 demolition by the All Blacks last weekend, to complete a miserable season.
They have emailed for support of a petition posted on thesportsfreak.com and by have gathered more than 1700 signatures plus some volatile comments.
They claim the appointment of Allister Coetzee as Springbok coach was political rather than merit‑based and believe his style of play is incompatible with the approach of his assistants.
The petition also called for the re-appointment of former Springboks coach Jake White.
