Too many idiotic muppits post their personal biased thoughts against the man and not the message.

Wonder what they would have said if Heyneke Meyer or Francois Pienaar or Morne du Plessis had come up with the suggestion that Mallet made.

SA rugby needs to change. Do not attack Mallet the person because of his suggestion. Discuss the merits of his suggestion and come up with something else yourself.

Onlooker – from your posts i can only gather you are racist.

Have you ever thought that the Stormers are badly placed in the S14 because they used Rob Linde, Peter Grant, Gus Theron and Sicknote Greeff or maybe that the Cats had Jorrie Muller and Tiaan Snyman.

You disappoint me.

I was reading your post and saw no ”melanin”

Are you losing your touch??

Your comments regarding Deon Kayser are totally uncalled for.

He was a classy wing. He fielded the high ball very well. His defence was solid and his running lines were quite good. One thing for me that stood out though, was his sheer determination. He never backed off any opponent.

For you to claim that he was a quota player is ludicrous.

That’s proper “non-racialism” not enforcing so-called “transformation” race-quotas and then quibbling even more about how many nonwhites are mere “coloureds” and that there are just not enough “black Africans” etc etc …

And then to add insult to injury and PRETEND that all this “transformation” and “quotas”and window-dressing is really “non-racial”!

And that people who want teams picked on merit alone are somehow “racist” !!!

The times that the Cats dominated upfront was when Saphaka was on the bench (i.e. Saders 1st half, highlanders)

Onlooker – I’m not entirely sure what point you’re trying to make here: “It’s still a fact that the SA teams those guys are playing for (Stormers, Cats) aren’t doing too well, or do (sic) they?”

So the Cats and Stormers are languishing at the bottom because of the inclusion of Andrews, Davids, Sephaka, Shimange, Benjamin and Julies in their respective teams – is that it? Apart from the fact that Davids is quite far away and Sephaka and Shimange have (sadly) had very little time in which to influence the performance of their teams, your argument is laughable.If you’re going to try and make the black guys the scapegoats for the weak performance of two teams with huge coaching and motivational issues, your racist agenda is much more poorly disguised than you perhaps think.

The point is, that Mallet has raised an issue & a solution to the problem that is the cancer of SA rugby. Full stop.
Bad boy & WPW are missing the issue of Mallets coaching ability, with his political vision.

Simple economics dictate that the current situation cannot continue. How many of the smaller unions are solvent? How many were given loans for votes.

The whole crux of Mallets well though suggestion, is if you offer transformation incentives to the clubs, you will build up your base. The cream will always rise to the top. No questions asked.

You will then be in the position to be able to say, everyone is getting a fair chance to play & be able to do away with quotas and select on merit.

Keo should get some of these opinions onto Boots & All for a good debate.

“I can’t recall the SA media praises for Kaiser…”

To be honest, from the quality of your posts here, I’m guessing that your sampled media didn’t include much more than the Huisgenoot, a dog-eared copy of Scope and some rightwing church quarterly.

“…but at any rate, it’s the same media that sings the praises of Andrews, Davids, Sephaka, Shimanga Benjamin, Julius ets,”

Hmmm… dirty communist propaganda tools, eh? Can’t believe they let the media publish nice things about BLACK people. Won’t find that smut in your house.

He has also stated that he needs 2-3 years to put in place the kind of structures that will make the province successfull.

So, please explain the relevance of the Stromers narrow victory over the Farce, when bringing his credentials into question.

Mallet also shot his mouth off saying he would replace Jake with Meyer if he was running SA rugby.

Bulls performance this season makes this statement a load of kak. Just like Peter Grant.

Mallet’s success is history, the man has had his moment. It would be politically correct if he just stopped trying to hop into Jake’s lime light for a while and everyone focussed on what SA has got rather than what they don’t have.

And so I was implying that Meyer is the best of the SA coaches judging by the Super 14 , and if Mallet says he would take Meyer over JW then Meyer would be the next obvious choice.

Personally I rate JW highly. And although I do not agree with Mallets comment on replacing JW with Meyer (if he actually said that), I do think that he is receiving unfair bad press at the moment. but, it is typical of SA supporters roasting somebody alive when they disagree with them.

I mean if the all have only 8 players (quota) in each squad thn there really is a whole shedful of talent just waiting for the Spears to sign up? Por Ce?
