He has no coaching background at all.There is widespread amazement here in Canterbury about this.

The only reason they offered the job to him is probably because nobody in SA wants it. I can't see them finishing anything above last place, for S15 and CC.

@sandal: There is a certain amount of animosity towards the Kings in SA rugby for various different reasons. It's not been revealed who else applied/was approached for the job, but I'll venture a guess that if Sexton wasn't the only candidate he was one of two. What do I think about another Kiwi coach in SA? Hey, if his team win matches...

Why is South Africa installing yet another Kiwi as a Super coach? What's up? And what do the Saffers here think about it?

What happened to PdV? I thought his old mate Cheeky had this job in- waiting.

In the word's of commentary legend, Andy Capostagno: 'Matt Sexton; great name for a hooker.'
