Shimlas has gone a long way in turning their rugby program around with the announcement of former Lions and Springbok assistant coach Swys de Bruin as director of rugby. De Bruin will be joined by Madibaz coach Andre Tredoux as head coach.
Hendro Scholtz who previously was head coach of the Shimlas is joined by ex Western Province hooker, Tiaan Liebenberg as assistant coaches.
De Bruin had previously served as Lions head coach and Springbok assistant under Rassie Erasmus in 2018. His most recent gig was working as an analyst and presenter on SuperSport.
Andre Tredoux, who coached the Madibaz in this year’s Varsity Cup following a stint in Japan, takes over from Pote Human, who is now head coach of American Major League Rugby side Houston SaberCats.
Scholtz is a former Shimlas head coach and Liebenberg has worked with CUT.
