Have those unfair rules stopped now in south africa, where the boks have to play so many blacks. The black players should get there on merit, and from what i saw of the team, they all deserve to be there. SO is the rule now gone?
The quota system is still in place, but it's only the politicians who want it. We had one cricket player refused to play because he found out he was picked only for his colour.
The current rugby coach got his job by promising to use the quota system and then some, but in the end he realised that the public wants results. And to get results he needs to pick his best available players.
The result? We beat the British Lions and won the Tri-Nations.
Successful racial transformation in SA Sport seems to be best when it happens naturally and without political meddling.
