Many were positive about Peter de Villiers new role and believed he was a perfect fit for the position:
"Well done, Minister and Divvy." - Maaifoedie
"Got to wonder how he never got the Spears job." - Jason
"He has a bronze, silver and gold with the U-19 Boks. Show he knows a little more than most people think he does about rugby." - Jason
"In the whole of SA I can's think of one person who might be a better candidate. He has accumulated valuable experience, it would be suicidal not to use that experience and surely he can only improve SA rugby." - Hanjo Overes
"Give Div the credit that is due to him. He was the Springbok coach and bar his occasional tongue twisters, most of his players complimented him." - Carl
"Congrats Pieter! You deserve it :)" - BlueRaven.debullsfans
"Dis iets baie goed vir PDV en SA rugby, veral ontwikkelende areas!, rugby kan net vinniger groei in die land!" - Jeremy
"Some blame the World Cup loss on Div but most people blame it on a certain referee..." - Stormflat
While others were shocked and horrified at the idea of the former Bok coach returning to rugby:
"Jake White wins us a World Cup and he gets kicked in the teeth, this clown does nothing and gets a new job to 'tap into his wealth of knowledge' - idiots!" - Warren Kilian
"Wonder if his pay package will include a monthly Helium allowance?" - Templar
"Eish - Was this job advertised? I am sure that there are some better candidates around - What about Nick Mallett?" - Hespach
"Even in higher circles stupidity prevails...He has done nothing to sport except stuff it up." - Pieter Wolf Lombard
"The Minister must be very hard-up to tap into a dry tap!"
"Div was never the coach while he was there - he admitted himself that those players don't need coaching and the senior players themselves did the coaching. What a mess! Div returning to any kind of rugby spells trouble." - Rudi
"Just keep him away fom the media." - Anton
"The only thing that Peter de Villiers can develop is a killer moustache, an art that was lost during the 19th century." - Dirk
