The following from News24:-

“The ANC Youth League has vowed to disrupt the Springboks’ three-Test series against Ireland due to an apparent lack of transformation in the sport.

Twelve players of colour have been included in Allister Coetzee's 31-man Springbok squad for the series, but that is not enough, according to the ANC Youth League.

The league’s secretary-general, Njabulo Nzuza, told the IOL website that the series would be disrupted by protests, but would not reveal which games would be targeted.

Mzuza said it’s not enough for black players to be included in the squad, only for them to sit on the bench.

The league said the SA Rugby had not taken its demands for transformation “seriously” and had not replied to the memorandum of demands they had handed to it on May 11.

The Boks tackle Ireland in Cape Town (June 11), Johannesburg (June 18) and Port Elizabeth (June 25).”

The ANC Youth League is one organization that should rather concentrate on their own corruption scandals than something they know nothing about.  However, it is election time and the ANC is full time busy with its racist agenda – since huge numbers of voters have lost confidence in them because of bribery and corruption.  Racist propaganda is all they can count on.  

I do not think they would dare to and even be able to enter stadiums where games are played – so the disruptions will be off-stadium and take the normal route of damage to public and private property.

 There they are again ... cupped hands outstretched ... waiting for the inevitable handout ... or they'll burn something down.
A pathetic people.

It's only a matter of time.
I do wish the collective rugby enthusiasts would boycott a series.
This would be the ideal time to show unity against political interference in sport
Makes me sick..... and even more sick that it will still be supported

Fair comment CC
Still upsets me though.....
Can only imagine what national and international message it would send if all three stadiums were completely empty for the tests
Will never happen, bu t in my opinion... it should

Transformation is happening proved by the fact that many of our best players are not white. (Habana, JP, Jantjies, etc, etc). 
The way things are progressing- soon at least half the team will be non-white purely on merit. This proves that there is not favouritism to white players. 
The colour players are easily as good as the white players- especially within the backline. 
The big Boers from the Freestate still produce many of the forwards- due to a farming background etc.
The problem is not enough players are black- at least for the ANC Youth league.They are just looking to turn everything into race to get handouts- because they once knew someone that was part of the Struggle- now ancient history for many. Some of the youth league were not even born during the struggle. 
The bottom line is that while there are some good black players- I can't think of many that are challenging the best coloured and white players on merit.
Coloured players were also victims of the Apartheid- but they seem to have moved on from this now ancient past. They have earned their spots on merit.

Good comment Sharkbok
My issue is with the whole "No international sports events anymore" until transformation is met.
What a crock.....
Why not stop the African Cup Of nations until the SA squad is half white.
Then I have to listen to "I am a Born Free" and I still deserve everything for nothing

 You guys forget....it's an election year..... the ANC is desperate. They're making enough noise to fool some which makes up for what they lose after the way Zuma has been shooting the party in the foot.
