I was asked the question of how many Afrikaans speaking players there were in the WC squad and it occurred to me that there was not a single English speaking player in the squad unless Kitshoff is English which I don’t think he is

Of the white players, the only two who went to English schools are Francois Louw (Bishops) and Malcolm Marx (KEHS).

Sounds like BB is right - Damian went after school to Ikeys where he played in the Varsity team.

Ummm ... are there any Northern Sotho speaking Goats in the squad? How about Tswane speakers ... or Pedi ... or Venda ...?

It's a friggin disgrace. Are these languages been discriminated against?

What is your point, Stupid?

Afrikaans used to be the language used by the Boks, for example, lineout calls.

Now it must be English - as this is the language that everyone in the team will be most able to understand.
