[QUOTE="Jason Wilson, post: 884243, member: 76764"] You should be able to pick the best coach and the best players available. Simple as that. Any system the prevents that from happening, especially if that system is only implemented for political point scoring, is wrong. The development at school level is where the SA government should be focused. Encourage the black and coloured populations to take an interest in rugby from when they a children, their numbers will swell and they will make their way through to senior level. The rest will take care of itself. There are a couple of other arguments to be made, regarding the physical suitability of different sections of the population, exclusionary effect of the cost of rugby tickets when compared to soccer, and the basic numbers of white players in the senior pool compared to black/coloured players, but that is a whole new discussion. With the exception of one or two overly conservative idiots, no South African white person has an issue with a player of colour representing the Springboks...as long as they deserve to be there.
