  • PETER DE VILLIERS IS THE SON OF GOD

    01 Sep 2008 by Seth Rotherham in Sport

    I’ve been keeping Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers’s quotes at an arm’s length until now. I thought ridicule of any form, so early on in his tenure, would be in bad taste. Not anymore. Not when he starts throwing around David Brent (from The Office ) quotes like this little beauty yesterday after our victory against Australia (following a string of losses):

    Jesus?

     

    “The same people who threw their robes on the ground when Jesus was on the donkey are the same people who crowned him and hit him with sticks,” he said. “But they’re also the same people who said they shouldn’t have done that afterwards because he really was the son of God …. but I’m not saying I’m God.”

     

    Come now. Surely not?

    You couldn’t get it any closer to Ricky Gervais’s character, David Brent , from The Office . THAT’S how ridiculous it is. God, what a treat this man is!

    That was when I stumbled upon Clinton Van Der Berg’s article and thought we could play out the credits of this article with some de Villiers quotes that break all previously imagined barriers.

    “I know dancing is also a contact sport, but rugby is far from dancing. If you want to run with the big dogs then sometimes you have to lift your leg.”

    “What we try to tell them is when you point your finger into the sky, don’t concentrate on the finger because you’ll miss all the heavenly glory out there. Concentrate on the heavenly glory that you can bring and make yourselves so fulfilled.”

    “We went wild, wild, wild — some of the guys went wilder than that.

    “South Africans are normally great people and we’ll take the bitter with the sweet. It’s only the guys who don’t feel part of that bitter or that sweet that will always moan and groan and say: ‘Why do they go so wild?’ Join in, we’ve got enough stuff to share with you.”

    “I was appointed to make rugby decisions. I promised to be honest and focus on rugby. We never said it was going to be a perfect world. If you look at the Bible, Joseph started out in the pit and ended up in the palace. There was a moerse lot of kak in between.”
