[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 873064, member: 70721"] This came from a saffer mate of mine who has family in the RSA, and some family that have relocated to Auckland. He said, "The quota system extends into the schools ( under 13 level) a result of which is that many parents are steering promising talent away from the sport into academics or the sciences with a view to providing their kids with very portable skills.For some, with the money or with access to foreign passports, there is the option of moving to other countries taking the talent out if the country. Others have aggressively pursued sports scholarships abroad. There is also the more general emigration issue with huge numbers leaving the country in the last 20 years." I didn't know that, thats pretty brutal. [/QUOTE]
