Bok coach we have nothing to hide
A classic phrase!
"Bok coach, we have nothing to hide" is a famous quote from the 1995 Rugby World Cup, spoken by François Pienaar, the captain of the South African Springboks, to the British coach, Ian McGeechan.
The quote was in response to McGeechan's concerns about the Springboks' alleged use of apartheid-era tactics, such as racial segregation and intimidation, during their matches. Pienaar's response was a bold declaration of innocence and a statement of pride in the team's sporting integrity.
The quote has since become an iconic phrase in South African sports history, symbolizing the country's transition from apartheid to democracy and the Springboks' victory in the 1995 Rugby World Cup, which was seen as a unifying moment for the nation.
