[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 868922, member: 39190"] At the end of the day its a squad that ought to keep his employers happy enough, do well enough against Aussie and Arg (we hope) and keep supporters happy enough. But is it a fair reflection of best available players? Probably not. Will we be competitive against NZ and work towards being the team to beat come 2019? Probably not. That is SA for you. Compromises have to be made in the short term and though in an academic sense I can understand the rationale I almost want to say I know it won't give us the long term benefits; I'd sooner back commitment to excellence and success alongside long term grass roots investment to get us there than affirmative action and pandering.
