On Frans Steyn:
“Does he want to be here or not? I can’t understand if he doesn’t have a heart for the Springbok jersey.”

Graham Henry on Peter De Villiers:
“I can’t really take anything he says seriously.”

Peter De Villiers on Graham Henry:
“Graham Henry is a good coach, but he’s like me, he has a big mouth.”

Explaining his comment on Graham Henry:
“I said that, like me, he’s got a big mouth and what I meant by that is that he’s a very honest guy. People respect him all around the world for his honesty. He’s a student of the game, he knows the game and his players respect him a lot.”

Aussie reporter Greg Growden on Peter De Villiers:
“The Richard Pryor of rugby was in town.”

Aussie commentator Brendan Cannon on Peter De Villiers:
“I can’t believe that senior players like John Smit and Victor Matfield allow themselves to be controlled by this guy. He is a clown. He surely does not coach the team.”

Oregan Hoskins on Peter De Villiers:
“I want to be honest with South Africa and say that the appointment was not entirely made for rugby reasons. We as an organisation have made the appointment and taken into account the issue of transformation very seriously when we made it.”

“I wouldn’t say he’s the best coach in the world, but I wouldn’t say he’s inferior to Jake White.”
