SA Rugby a Joke

It is good to see that 15 years down the line we are making real progress on the politics in sport front, this is why the rest of the world does not see us as a threat in ANY form of sport. Very very dissapointing and infuriating.

Quote "The South African government has threatened to confiscate the passports of the Springboks players unless more black players are selected for the World Cup.
The government and the South African Rugby Union have been at loggerheads for several years over the issue, with the parliamentary sports committee claiming the national team is not representative of the country.
Now committee chairman Butana Komphela has warned that the 'worst case scenario' could see South Africa's players barred from travelling to the World Cup in France in September.
"In principle, we can't allow a team that does not reflect the South African picture, to represent our country," Komphela told the Beeld newspaper.
"My fear is that rugby won't see the World Cup. We will try to convince the minister of home affairs to confiscate the passports if the team is not representative."
Komphela wants the team to include at least six black players, which he describes as 'a start', even though he does not believe that would make the team truly representative.
SARFU president Oregan Hoskins said Komphela's comments should not be seen as idle threats. "We must take what he says seriously," he said.
