Former Emerging Springbok Morgan Newman talks about how his forthright nature played against him in the game and why he feels he was ultimately backed by the wrong coaches. Morgan Newman: I’m very grateful for rugby but at the same time it’s a weird environment. Morgan Newman: At the time Allister Coetzee was coach of Western Province and he was very influenced by Rassie Erasmus as director of rugby. I don’t think we can blame the players or coaches because we know they are good. However, it’s still better than playing overseas and I don’t think the series could have happened in the UK.
