Southern Kings Team Manager Appointed

5 November 2012 By Alan Straton

Willem Oliphant has been officially named as the Southern Kings’ Team Manager for the 2013 Vodacom Super Rugby season.

Willem has been part of the SA Rugby structures as team manager for the SA u20 teams over the past few years and was also Team Manager of the SA u20 team that recently won the u20 World Junior Championships played in Cape Town earlier in the year.

Kings Spokeman, Sakhi Gqeba said; “With years of experience under his belt Willem will bring about the required acumen and know-how required for an international tournament.

“We wish Mr Oliphant all the best in his new role and we are confident that he will contribute positively to the Kings camp and will also work well with all the players and management of the team.”
