Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>SA Rugby president Mark Alexander has paid tribute to one of the most important pioneers in the history of South African rugby, Douglas \u2018Dougie\u2019 Dyers, who died on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Dyers was the first captain of a black national side to leave South Africa when he led the Proteas on their tour of Europe in 1971.<\/p>\n

He later became a revered coach, selector and administrator.<\/p>\n

“When it comes to major role players in the history of South African rugby, \u2018Oom\u2019 Dougie\u2019s name stands alongside all the greats,” said Alexander.<\/p>\n

“A courageous player, he was a true servant of the game at all levels, and captained South Africa at a time when a large part of the population was excluded from playing for the Springboks.<\/p>\n

“Rugby played a massive part in his life and I have nothing but endless admiration for a man who was central to the game for a very long time, in club and provincial colours, green and gold and later on training fields and boardrooms.”<\/p>\n

Dyers made his union debut for Parow at the age of 19 and soon established himself as a player and leader in the team before moving to Walvis Bay in 1961, where he helped start a rugby club in the town.<\/p>\n

Upon his return to South Africa a few years later, Ramblers had to close due to apartheid policies and Dyers\u2019s family had moved to Elsies River in Bellville, where he joined the Blue Birds Rugby Club, part of the new Northerns Rugby Union.<\/p>\n

Blue Birds was part of the South African Rugby Federation and they played for the Silver Cup, from which he was selected for the Proteas, as the Federation\u2019s national representative side was called at the time.<\/p>\n

At the end of 1971, Dyers captained the Proteas on a seven-match tour to England and the Netherlands, where they won four, lost two and drew one game.<\/p>\n

A few months later, in May 1972, he led the Proteas against the touring England side, with the visitors winning the match 11-6 in Cape Town, a few weeks before they beat the Springboks in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

‘He left an immense mark on the game’<\/b><\/p>\n

The match between the Proteas and England in 1972 was the first international in which blacks played against whites on South African soil, shortly before the African Leopards also faced the tourists.<\/p>\n

Dyers also led the Proteas against the touring British & Irish Lions in Cape Town in 1974, while they also faced the Leopards in two non-official Tests in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.<\/p>\n

“To lead the Proteas on historic occasions such as these, puts into perspective the big role \u2018Oom\u2019 Dougie played in South African rugby history,\u201d added Mr Alexander.<\/p>\n

“As a player, he never got the recognition that was bestowed on other of his contemporaries, but that didn\u2019t stop him from pursuing his own dreams, and after his playing days, he worked tirelessly at all levels of the game to ensure others\u2019 dreams also come true.<\/p>\n

“He left an immense mark on the game he loved so much \u2013 as a player, national captain, coach, selector and administrator. He devoted his life to South African rugby, and for that I would like to honour him.<\/p>\n

“Our thoughts are with his family, friends loved ones in this very difficult time \u2013 may you find solace in the memories of \u2018Oom\u2019 Dougie and the knowledge that he was a true pioneer in South Africa.”<\/p>\n

After he retired from playing rugby, Dyers went into coaching and later, he took charge of the Proteas, before being appointed to coach the SA Barbarians team in 1979, the first of its kind to tour outside South Africa.<\/p>\n

A year later, in 1980, Dyers had his second taste of facing the British & Irish Lions when he coached the SA Barbarians in their tour game against the men in the famous red jerseys, and in 1983, Dr Danie Craven offered Dyers a position at the South African Rugby Board.<\/p>\n

In his role as national selector, a position he held for 17 years, Dyers stood firm in his belief that black players were good enough to play for the Springboks and as a result, Errol Tobias was selected to face England in 1984.<\/p>\n

From 1991 until his retirement in 2002, Dyers served with the Western Province Rugby Football Union, working on development structures, and later he was elected as junior vice-president of the union.<\/p>\n
