[QUOTE="User1245, post: 903274, member: 40986"] Nothing like an artificial race row to bring the racist ANC goons out. The Sports Minister is proving just as atrocious as her predecessor attacking and accusing [URL='http://www.enca.com/sport/rugby/sports-minister-slams-white-entitlement-behaviour-in-rugby?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#link_time=1526811322']white people as a group[/URL]. She is also building a strawman by saying that Naas and Nick called him a quota, which there is no evidence for. Ashwin just brought that up during his rant. Once again the ANC is trying to construct a reality that doesn't exist. I'm sure anyone who has watched the Super Sport pre- and post-game analysis (if you haven't search YouTube as every now and then they upload these. They're often about 10-20 mins long) will have picked that Nick Mallet's rugby analysis is superb. He is the draw card. You can clearly see his rugby knowledge is world class. Often SA Rugby Mag does a summary article of just his comments. Ashwin Willemse on the other hand often struggles to articulate himself and can turn into a bit of a fanboy when the Boks play instead of analysing them objectively. Him and Nick have butted heads before with Ashwin saying that Nick is not being optimistic enough. I have seen him do a good analysis and I've seen do a bad analysis. He is inconsistent in that regard. It appears that Nick's superior knowledge and analysis has bruised his ego, and he construed that as Nick undermining him. But because Nick is white he has turned it into a race thing. It's absurd and childish. Once again shows that quotas are illegal and iimmoral, and that cloud has clearly affected Ashwin's self esteem. It has also showed an underbelly of black people who are very racist in SA. People have attacked Nick and Naas just because they are white with no evidence that Ashwin's actions were justified. Hopefully this is causing some cognitive dissonance in the doubters. [/QUOTE]
