[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 884439, member: 40658"] The 30-test cap rule is not a political decision though, and shouldn't be used in the same breath as the quota system. The 30-test cap rule is more a plan to have the local players have a chance to represent SA than those who went abroad for the sake of money. Exceptions have been made though. Jan Serfontein and Steven Kitshoff are examples of that. Kitshoff didn't have 30 caps behind his name when he was in France, and he got to keep on playing for SA, because he is a long term prospect, and there was assurances given that he will return to SA (which he did). Jan Serfontein on the other hand, had 29 caps for the Boks when he went to France last year. But he was still selected for the boks even after arriving in France. He has since got more than 30 caps, and is still eligible for the Bokke. But yeah, there are a couple of guys who are abroad who still needs to make their international debut, that I'd pick for the Springboks. Chris Cloete, Ruan Ackerman and Cheslin Kolbe springs to mind... [/QUOTE]
