The many faces of Meyer

Heyneke Meyer will be the new Springbok coach, after a special general meeting of the South African Rugby Union ratified his proposed appointment in Cape Town on Friday.

The 44-year-old Bulls mentor takes over from Peter de Villiers, who coached the Springboks from 2008 to 2011.

He will take charge as head coach of the 1995 and 2007 World Cup champions for the first time against England in Durban on June 9.

We bring you his rugby life in pictures!

The premier prize in SA rugby!

Some World Cup experience....

And a second stint with the Boks...

Once upon a Tiger...

How do I fix up this mess?

Will they team up soon?
