Who cares if you are black or white, as long as you are a South African.

[uholtz]

If you're better than any other person in that position then it doesn't matter which colour you are really, so long you deserve your spot by merit and not by your skin colour.

[Koolboy111111]

so what if the rugby team mostly white, most of south africa football players are black, what??? should we start making special reserves for white football players?

[khokhoba]

Your statement is not fair, suddenly, it matters nt whther ur blck or whte,just because u dont wann changet the color of RGBY. Common, things can not remain d same...

[rjutronich]

absolutely correct rugby isnt about colour of skin and its a shame with the new coach i think white players will be somewhat ripped off

[adey08]

then we need to reserve paces for whites in bafana bafana cos they are too black and they are kak

[springbokk4life]

cant agree more bud

The key is to have a thriving club system in the townships, maybe local divisional champs on a regular basis, and Craven Week should be open to all clubs as well as schools? Otherwise we need to have black school rugby be a priority. Habana needs no affirmative action, he is the best winger in the world, period.
