Peter De Villiers on handling criticism

“I was always saying the greeting ‘even the bad days are good’ and there have been some bad days just now, that we can’t deny. But I keep myself motivated because I believe in this team and what we are doing and know that we have the answers within ourselves to the problems that we had overseas.

“It’s not like other years where we were bad and had no solutions in sight – we definitely know we can beat anyone in the world when we fix the small things that add up to a bad defeat.

“As for the criticism, I have had it since before day one! But it goes with the territory – a winning Bok coach is a superman; a losing Bok coach is a ‘clown’, I’ve learnt to take both with a pinch of salt.”
