Jantjies was so poor in some matches that in 2012 Mitchell threatened to drop him and in one game he was replaced early. He was then involved in an undermining exercise iro Mitchell and his and Strauss’s campaign was thrown out by the CCMA – so the Lions had to pay huge damages to Mitchell.
Now we have another classic. He is now held up as being dismissed from the squad by people who are opposed to transformation in rugby and e is not to be dropped from the squad for that reason. It is obvious that for that lot performance means nothing and it is clear from past experience that it is another game played by him and his cronies to stay in the mix.
Another argument now raised is if he is to be dropped the must make space for another player of colour in another position so as to ensure transformation targets are being maintained.
The above has nothing to do with rugby – but it is a game played by the politicos all set to destroy rugby in SA. If one look at the performances of the quota selections playing in tests they virtually all failed. That included some so-so performances (Habana and Mtawarira) and some abject failures (Pietersen, Mvovo, Mapoe, De Jongh and Mohoje)
With that attitude it is clear that SA Rugby is going nowhere and will be on a continuous slide in future.
