Davids to sue Boland for R1m

Wellington - The Son newspaper reports that Boland Cavaliers head coach Deon Davids is suing the Boland Rugby Union for more than R1 million following Chester Williams' appointment as director of rugby recently.

Davids and his assistant, Louis Koen, was told about Williams' appointment minutes before the team started their preparation for the Currie Cup match against Griquas at Wellington three weeks ago.

Since then Williams has been in charge.

Davids has a contract till 2012 and therefore filed a legal case against his employer.

Boland CEO Piet Bergh confirmed action has been taken.

"Yes, we know about the case against us. We have forwarded it to our legal advisors and can therefore not comment on the issue," he told the Newspaper.

Williams' help was called in by the union president Francois Davids following Boland's disappointing form in the Currie Cup.
