This is not argument bait.
What is your opinion of the quota system?
Obviously most Saffas, including myself, feel that it's counterproductive.
Though as outsiders and in light of SA's past do you think there is value in it? Value that we possibly fail to see?
For me, size is the issue. SA black folk are just not big enough. The average height of a black male in SA is like 168cm. It's pretty rare for them to reach 185cm+
Kolisi is a giant by Xhosa standards.
Mr Plum
It's unfair to ask the Kiwis for their thoughts on a race based issue knowing that South African politics is a minefield where the unwitting get blown away . The issue is far, far more than just size.
Den
I should have said that if we had black guys the size of central and west Africans then we'd probably find more black peopleb interesred in rugby.
I think the Kiwis know enough about SA history to at least have an opinion.
They also have a vested interest in the issues since our rugby has been intertwined for almost twenty years now.
I know if they had some external factor influencing the teams that they put out then I'd have an opinion on it.
It's quite odd actually, how the sporting world in general seems to condone it through omission, despite the concept flying directly in the ethical face of sports regulations.
No?
Plum the kbbs have been so embarrassed by theIr hllarIous take on The WIllemse Issue that they are too bashful to offer and opInIon. A great pIty of course as one does enjoy a really good laugh!
Blimey, 1.6k views!!!
How many people come to this site and don't post?
One almost feels stalked.
Kinda flattering actually.
Well i think it sucks.
No team should have race quotas every man should stand on his own abilities
Rather beat a full strength SA side to shut beendip up for good
Thanls Sader.
Sport is playing the best not some quota system. Apart from beendip i feel for you guys, i would be seriously pissed if was in your shoes
Not many feel like you. I suppose most think we have it coming...we deserve it...and I suppose they have a point, but revenge is never a good thing for those delivering it...sweet my arse.
Dont think its deserved at all. The past is the past.
SA has gone 360 not 180 like it should.
Dont see our wankers like John Minto speaking out now. Two faced wanker Kiwi
Ha ha, typical view, thanks for being honest.
Read an article where JDV reckons Kolisi's story makes him a good choice for Bok skipper.
I rated JDV as a player but between him and Matfield it's hard to choose which is the bigger politico suck up these days.
Towards the end of JDV's career he showed his true colours and just how self interested he actually was. He cared a great deal more about how he was perceived than what he cared about the team. Everything he did seemed to be to pave the way for a career in TV post his retirement.
There are millions of people in SA with tough life stories to tell. That doesn't by default make them good leaders...or at anything else.
A good leader is the best player in his position AND someone who is able to lead a group.
Kolisi's life story is about as relevant to his deserving the skipper's hat as what his being in an interracial marriage is.
They are separate aspects of his life and have no place on the sports field nor should they have consequence as to our national rugby team.
The SA quota policy, fancying on the non existing. Better that than wondering how SA won their 1995 WC. Poisoning their opponents, bribing officials, both...
I should have said that if we had black guys the size of central and
west Africans then we'd probably find more black peopleb interesred in
rugby.
The worst place to introduce rugby game. Now central and west Africans are not somalis. They are the same as SA people.
Could wonder what happened in SA so that there is so little proper material for rugby when in neigbhouring places, there are.
Addicted to the interest thing.
By this board admission, all these people are inclined toward football. Football is a big thing in Europe, it is nothing in SA as they chickened out of turning competitive in football, rugby being a way easier scene.
A big economical mistake as there is a lot of money in football, with schemes of redistribution that could have meant recouping money, investment.
Nope, SA had to favour non viable economical activity over viable economival activity. The legacy.
Back to the point: the NH, despite the heavy pressure from football, has managed to train some decent non white players from a much lesser pool. SA zero from a much greater pool.
Of course, all that non sense is convenient to avoid facing the situation.
Time to terminate rugby in SA. It brings nothing. It only withdraws.
Trad, you are a raced obsessed arsehole that spews alot of baseless conspiracy BS. Im sure you are trolling South Africans as a result of some inferiority complex. I wonder what some Saffa did to you to make you such a bitter creature. Go get help before you get hurt asshole.
Jaaaaaaaaaa mama se dom doosie!
Het jy besluit dis weer bietjie tyd om vir ons te kom kuier?
Ons het jou nie gemis nie hoor...so jy kan maar weer vokof.
Tead does not hate rugby. He hates South African Rugby...or South Africans in general. White South Africans in particular. Some commie arse by the looks of it.
Donderse naai-lappie
You'll find that in his day to life he's too afraid to even look a white person in the eye.
