He recently tried to contact De Villiers, but a high-ranking South African Rugby Union (SARU) official apparently refused to give him the Bok coach’s new cellphone number.
SHOOT: This guy's absence has been noted. Remember Lance Klusener? Why don't our coaches embrace talent instead of doing a powerplay and showing who is boss to the detriment of these players?
Bloemfontein – Springbok coach Peter de Villiers and fullback Frans Steyn are set to hold an emergency meeting in Johannesburg on Friday in a bid to save their strained relationship.
Steyn sent an SMS to the coach earlier this week to withdraw from the Bok side that will play Wales in Cardiff on June 5, but work is being done behind the scenes to resolve their differences.
Sport24’s information is that there have been problems between coach and player for some time.
It appears as if there is little communication between the two and that is probably the biggest reason for Steyn’s decision to withdraw from the Bok side that is flying out to London on Sunday.

The 23-year-old Steyn recently struck a drop goal of over 60 metres for Racing Metro against Clermont.
