Rugby coach refutes reports of players' snub

Reports from the Vultures camp are that preparations have not been smooth, as some players chose to ignore national team call-up. The players are said to be against the appointment of Gabatladiwe as coach.

Gabatladiwe was roped in after Ivor Greaves recently dumped the team.  “There are some players who were invited for national team selection, but they did not show up as they do not want to work under Gabatladiwe. It is a sad scenario because that never happened before when Greaves was in charge,” said a source.
