Swys de Bruin joins Kings as Coaching Consultant

Hy het nie sy werk verloor nie! Hy het bedank, by die bokke en by die leeus (neem ek aan, want die press release gee nie baie info nie). Soos Tvl se, hy het nog 2 jaar oor gehad op sy kontrak met ons

Ek hoop regtig nie hy gaps van ons sterre nie. Sy kontrak met ons was vir nog 2 jaar, so mens kan seker aanneem dat hy nie uit vrye keuse weg is by ons nie

Ek dink ons kan nie regtig kwaad wees nie.

Dit beteken daar moes iewers 'n issue met Swys en die GLRU gewees het. Ek is seker dat as hy wou uit die spotlight kom dat hulle n direkteur van rugby of een of ander pos vir hom kon skep. Om die leeus en bokke so te drop en by die kings te teken los maar bietjie van 'n bitter smaak

Daar was 'n tyd toe Ackers nog by ons was en Swys hulpafrigter was, waar die Kings hom (Swys) gesoek het as hoofafrigter, maar hy het toe nee gese.
