Hell, it’s a LOT better than the old Athletic Park!

All this blether about 7s. Who cares about 7s. And the “Commonwealth Dream”? This is a dream that hardly gets my pulse racing.

Though obviously it gets Tacklers heart jumping around like a jack hammer. Then again, to a New Zealander, any crowd bigger than a few hairy hobbits sitting around in The Cake Tin, represents some sort of World Event.

Add Morné Steyn and that Kakkerlak guy from the Cape and we could have been competitive.

The collective IQ of SA Rugby was again not high enough to see this one coming. None of the SA team members could make it in the 15 man game.

But they did not. They picked instead a “transformation” or “development” team who ended up getting flicked in the preliminary paddling-pool early quarter-finals stages.

Make your bed, but then be ready to sleep in it.

Its easy now to call them quotas isnt it. The Aussies won because they could afford to stack their team with Super 12 players – I counted Brendan Williams, Luke Inman, Tuqiri, Latham, Giteau and Fava amongst their players – all players that have played at Super 12 level

**** man, its been 14 years now, let the best players play and let people play their own cultural game. Whites like rugby and cricket and blacks like soccer………………………..

Very true, how can we expect to compete by sending a quota team to the common wealth. I wonder how many years it will take before we can start playing people on MERIT only. A team is as strong as its weakest link, and usually our weakest links are the quota links.

And on the other hand you get quota players that are the best in their position, but they are still quota players. Like Bryan bannanna, the best wing in SA on merit.

Makes you think?

The story of modern “transformed” SA rugby.
