Following a disappointing win against Italy at Loftus Versveld on 5 July, Peyper was asked ahead of the second test in Gqeberha on Saturday 12 July, how will the Springboks deal with the criticism and recover.
Peyper, who is a four-time South African Referee of the Year, announced his retirement from match officiating after 2023’s Rugby World Cup in France and was appointed to the Springboks’ backroom staff in 2024 as the team’s national laws advisor.
