Well are COSATU calling for more white players in the SA football team?

Bleating that the Olympic events like rowing, sailing and equestrian are ever so ‘white’ or that there aren’t enough black cyclists in the Tour de France?

Do COSATU want the footie World Cups moved from Russia or Quatar on the basis of their sexist/homophobic regimes???

No…coz Cosatu can only see alleged racism if it is by WHITE people in rugby in SA.

How narrow minded.

I feel that its not only just blacks but also anyone thats not afrikaans. Handre Pollard always got ahead of lambie even though lambie was the better player. English people and black people have to work extremely hard to get into teams today and if you are afrikaans you have the advantage.

that sounds like a great idea. If they could do that for the RWC, I’d support this option….

HM should let them ‘appoint’ a team, coached by whoever they want and take the Boks to show them that the Sport is not cheap politicking, and Rugby is played with skills, competence and tempo amongst other things.

It’s not difficult, race shouldn’t even come into it, players should always be picked on ability and no other reason!

Am not particularly au fait with SA rugby – does anyone know who are the black players they are referring to that are (in their view) better than the current team?
