PdV: ‘Colour not an issue’
25 Aug 2011
Peter de Villiers says colour didn’t matter when he selected his 30-man World Cup squad as he had already played his role in transformation.
Several weeks ago, Saru president Oregan Hoskins lamented the Currie Cup unions for fielding ‘lilly-white’ teams this season. This was after the Sharks played an all-white team against the Bulls while the Cheetahs had only run one non-white player against the Leopards in round one. Hoskins reportedly wrote a letter to all the unions, stating that they should play a bigger part in transformation.
Looking at a Springbok World Cup squad, there hasn’t been much improvement. Former head coach Jake White picked six non-white players in his 30-man squad four years ago. De Villiers, who promised to play more black players ahead of his appointment, has only picked eight non-white players in his 30 for the trip to New Zealand. But the Bok coach stressed that this wasn’t an issue as he did his part in transformation.
‘We transformed this team from a team that wasn’t accessible to the people to the team that is now the people’s team,’ De Villiers said after the squad announcement. ‘I don’t know how many black players there are in the squad, we never sat down and worked that out or decided to pick someone based on the colour of their skin.
‘We wanted South Africans to be proud of the team that is going overseas and we selected the best rugby players in this country, at this moment, in their specific positions. If they are black, they are not to blame for it and if they are white they are not to blame for it either.’

it’s true, your spelling is especially shite.
I have a feeling your struggle years had more to do with education than anything else.
25 Aug 2011, 13:48 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-361: Not a Gynae.. never will be but I do see p ussy eveywhere… along with all the other stupid people
25 Aug 2011, 13:51 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-363: His struggle credentials sound more contrived than anything else. No specifics, just general references…. probably voted for the Nats and now wants to ease his conscience by sitting on a distant mud patch tossing accusations…. clearly very homesick, but too scared to be here. Africa is not for sissies.
25 Aug 2011, 13:54 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-363: WTF Gunther?? Spelling ?? you have downgraded yourself to AAApussy now.. get Moody’s to give you another rating but that is quite a drop. How you gonna recover from this. YOu gonna have to argue at that level now ;-( ..;-)
25 Aug 2011, 14:04 pm

But how about you?? Give us your name so that we check if you really are a pig farmer with weekly appointments at the Gynae.. I think you having me on about the smelly crotch

@youknowwho(youknowwho)-370: @Gunther(gunther)-371:
just thought i would share a story sure to warm the heart of a capecrusader/mighty half black.
did anyone read the article about the kids in soweto doing the haka for shaun fitz last weekend? the article was by john robbie.
well, the kids did the haka led by one kid who it turned out had received a scholarship to go to nz for a year and play rugby whilst doing his schooling there.
the kid, who shall remain unnamed to keep him safe from tecumseh, stayed with us for a few weeks late last year during his school holidays as my swaer was very involved with the soweto rugby club when dali was still in charge.
i guess the point of the story is that sa rugby sometimes seems like its full of divisions and hatred but in this story alone, there were white liberals (not me, my swaer
), kiwis, black sowetan kids, a zimbo (dali) and a white centrist like me involved.
i took the kid to mu rugga club for a few games of touch rugby (pre season) and a few beers after and learnt more about black attitudes in that time than i have in years of blogging here.
probably because i could understand context when talking face to face.
so ja, maybe we should all bear that in mind.
now as you were
25 Aug 2011, 14:26 pm
@seabiscuit(seabiscuit)-373: I agree. He seems to be a ******* **** with warts on his ****. Explains why he prefers the virtual world. Shame.,
25 Aug 2011, 14:37 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-376:
I though you were a whinger not a centrist?
anyway as long as the kid doesn’t walk around on four legs he’s safe from the teculoshe.
25 Aug 2011, 15:00 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-363: now i have seen it all.gunther the rentboy jumping on everyone that strokes his ego.i see it’s helen now. on second thought that’s nothing as it ‘s just typical rentboy behaviour.
25 Aug 2011, 15:03 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-376: just keep the kid awy from the rentboy,gunther.i would be careful of you as well as the highest percentage of perverts are found amongst the white race.poor black kid.
25 Aug 2011, 15:09 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-380: ?

25 Aug 2011, 15:14 pm
“Peter de Villiers says colour didn’t matter when he selected his 30-man World Cup squad as he had already played his role in transformation.”
Why, me thinks he is still playing his role, is he thinking about quitting?
25 Aug 2011, 15:14 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-380:

25 Aug 2011, 15:15 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-381: BWAAH can dish it out but can’t take it ,it seems.it is still a fact that white men are the most perverted and should be kept away from little black kids.
25 Aug 2011, 15:17 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-383: WHAT’S RACIST HERE NOW RENTBOY.I AM JUST STATING A WELL KNOWN FACT.MATTER OF FACT I ONLY DEAL IN FACTS

25 Aug 2011, 15:28 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-384: i would never dish out that kind of filth sonny but one thing i can do is give you another little hiding for everyone to see.
my virtual sjambok can tan your virtual olive hide if you are not careful.

@Helen(Helen)-14: seems like this chick. (if it is at least a bone fide chickie) is either that Fake Jake’s sidekick, or else his squeeze , or one of his groupies or else who knows, maybe his belated knobkerrie.
25 Aug 2011, 15:33 pm

25 Aug 2011, 15:33 pm
@Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-385:
don’t make me go and get my pruning shears my little maggot.
you will be a very sad little poodle fondler.
you don’t want to join the other pondlife who thought it was funny to talk about child molesting now do you?
25 Aug 2011, 16:32 pm
@ Tecumseh(Tecumseh) you seem obsessed with white men fondling black kids, trying to make friends that share your sick fantasies?
seeing as you deal in facts, known fact that child predators change their appearance regularly to avoid being caught, how many nicknames do you have? Ts ts ts
25 Aug 2011, 16:39 pm
@NoRugbyGuru_0_(RugbyGuru_0_)-390: Ouch!
Guru, that kind of accusation can land you in seriously hot water in this day and age.
25 Aug 2011, 16:40 pm
@ helen, was a question not a statement
25 Aug 2011, 17:36 pm
@Helen(Helen)-14:
Very well said.
It’s easy to be a armchair critic, but when the heat is on then you see what real choices are made
25 Aug 2011, 17:57 pm
I am looking forward to watch Aplon, Chiliboi, the Beast and Habana against Samoa and Fiji
Do they have a worthy substitute for Brian Lima?
Bring him on
25 Aug 2011, 18:09 pm

25 Aug 2011, 19:10 pm
Peter, win the cup please so we don’t have to tolerate any mindless **** from bigots. Cheers
25 Aug 2011, 20:22 pm
@NoRugbyGuru_0_(RugbyGuru_0_)-390: Not really guru.child molesting is an inherently white thing,so i am just a little bit worried to see white okes like rangerman and gunther taking such an active interest in them.with gunther being a rentboy i take these things very seriously.
