No to Boks in birthday suits

Johannesburg - If Corné Krige has any say in the matter, the Springboks who attended the infamous Kamp Staaldraad three years ago will not be seen in their birthday suits in South African homes.
The former captain of the South African rugby team gave this assurance on Monday after some players had obtained an urgent court order to stop, temporarily, distribution of a DVD recording of the camp.
Krige said many Springboks, including Richard Bands, Victor Matfield, Werner Greeff and Schalk Burger, agreed that distribution of footage of Kamp Staaldraad should be prevented.
Rapport reported at the weekend that former police special task force members Adriaan Heijns and Jan Steyn, who were in charge of the training camp, had compiled a DVD named Kamp Staaldraad: The Real Story. It was due to be released on Monday.
Heijns and Steyn, whose security company's services were terminated by SA Rugby soon after the debacle, told the newspaper they had been forced to make the DVD as a result of Krige's recently published autobiography, which contained revelations about Kamp Staaldraad.
Hoping it will be destroyed
After reading the article, Krige and other players "acted immediately" to obtain, "with the aid of high-profile people", the court order on Sunday night. Krige would not say who the people were.
"All the players that could be contacted agreed that we would not allow our naked bodies to be seen in every second guy's lounge," Krige said.
"The idea of the court order is to first stop the release of the DVD.
"Then, we hope to ensure that this ugly material will not be seen again. It should be taken out of the wrong hands and, we hope, destroyed."
Idea was to unite players
Krige also said "the whole group of players" who had been at the camp shortly before the 2003 World Cup tournament would support further legal action.
"I read about it (the DVD) and then contacted some of the players.
"The idea of the camp was to unite the players and prepare them for the World Cup tournament. But, the whole matter was settled a long time ago."

Maybe they should hire a car and drive over all the DVD's. They don't have to dress up
