KeoTV: Why Hoskins should quit

MARK KEOHANE says Saru president Oregan Hoskins should resign as the failure to transform the Springboks is his fault, not Peter de Villiers’s.

    Like the background – KeoTV is starting to look less mickey mouse…

    I agree on Hoskins needing to be replaced. Nice bloke, but no balls – he’s a yes man.

    On the Ndungane point – can’t agree, he is one bloody solid wing. He won’t make the starting line-up, but he’s the best available back-up at the moment.

    Go the boks!

    Transformation has not been a failure. It’s an impossible task to try and force the black community to embrace rugby straight away.

    If anything the feelings towards the Springboks have changed. And in the mean time the best players have played, which hasn’t always been the case in the past.

    Hoskins deserves a farking medal considering his predecessors. van Rooyen and that Nkanunu guy who looked he could be Thabo Mbeki’s great great great grandad.

    @hendrikp(hendrikp)-3: You miss the point bud. As president he promised to put in place systems that would mean transformation would not be failed. He has not done this. He has not been prepared to take on the 14 union with urgency, vigour and conviction. He shouldn’t be leading rugby in our country.

    Fair enough. I guess it will come down to whether the respective provinces think he has done a good job then?

    I personally think if you put it aside, he’s done a good job outside of how he dealed with the T-watson fiasco. Transformation isn’t something you can force, otherwise you end up with the same sort of situation SA has a country where you’re forcing better qualified people out of jobs. I can’t see any way that it can be sped up without significantly weakening professional sides in South Africa. So really Hoskins was pretty much screwed either way.

    Transformation is stupid anyway. Should stay out of sports. Should just focus on winning, not what colour players are in the team. How is that fair!?!! Argument has been going on forever I know but it’s still relevant.

    Agree with Keo. I am sure the magazine will say more but its a lot more than just Super Rugby and Currie Cup opportunities.

    Our structures are still messy
    a) The same schools that produced the Boks in the 1970s and earlier produce the Boks of today. What are we doing to invest in the schools structure?
    One does not even have to look at the former Model C schools and the Private Schools. They work probably better than anywhere. Where are the new rugby schools?

    b) Club Rugby – enough said. Too many players (including black players) are dropping out because of the lack of the next level up.

    c) Varsity Cup – OK that works

    d) So starting new black youngsters, developing them and keeping them in the game are critical factors that need to be addressed even before they get CC and Super Rugby opportunities

    e) Opportunities in Super and CC – Well Keo has a point but to me its more a supply problem than an opportunity problem

    Either way SARU is responsible and Regan is the President

    @hendrikp(hendrikp)-3: nobody has to FORCE anyone, why do you argue from a false premise of black people NOT being interested in rugby?

    when it is said that in history, black people were not allowed to be picked for the Springboks, you should gather that they were INDEED already playing the game. open up opportunities, partner with less fortunate schools, adopt a club…do something to improve the lot of the EXISTING players.

    I’m not saying they aren’t interested in the game. I’m saying the level of interest probably differs. To what lengths would they go?

    If anything I would put the blame with top schools around South Africa. I said it the other day… the best professional players have – most of them come from the larger schools around South Africa. Those are the schools that compete at a high level, and have the facilities and coaching to properly develop players. If we get more black players playing there, then we’d see more of them coming through.

    Go have a look at the World Cup squad and see how many of those players come from ‘smaller’ schools. And then check out the S15 squads. It’s the larger rugby schools that provide the bulk of our talented players.

    A medal for what? For failing to show support for Gert Smal proposal on transformation? For publicly stating Peter De Villiers only got the springbok coaching job because of the colour of skin?

    The black players that won the 2005 u21 are mostly playing CC first division rugby, while their reserves have gone on to be springboks…. why does he not investigate what happened to these players? Why is it that 6 years later their peers have reached springbok heights and the ceiling for them is the VC and CC fist divsion?

    Feelings towards the springboks changed in 1995 boet!

  • 13.keo: Reply to this comment

    What Hoskins must be held accountable to is his bravado a the press conference following the 2007 RWC squad when he defended the lack of black representation and said it would never happen again. Four years on, under his watch, it has. That’s why he should go.

    @hendrikp(hendrikp)-6: the maties team were quite transformed – fielding more that 8 players of colour on merit – and were winning the varsity cup regularly, no weakining of the team there. why should it be any different elsewhere?

    you reckon the valke will be more KAK than they currently if they give opportunities to more players of colour who deserve to play?

    @mxhosa(mxhosa)-12:

    Just because they started at U21 level doesn’t make them the best player in their position, or capable of playing Super rugby. When you’re at that level already, and you haven’t pushed on, the blame lies at no ones feet but your own. Maybe they weren’t good enough?

    I can’t go back and look at the 2005 squad… but I can’t think of too many black players not coming through. There are some… but there are also heaps, and heaps, and heaps, of white players who were good at that level and never quite pushed on.

  • 19.keo: Reply to this comment

    This is what Hoskins said in 2007 after the Bok squad announcement. This is why he has failed the game.

    Hoskins, in an interview with the Independent Group newspapers at the weekend, has set a target of at least seven players of colour in the Springbok starting XV in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

    Hoskins, at the weekend, again emphasises the fact that the game’s administrators, and not the national selectors, would be judged on transformation.

    “At the announcement of the 2007 World Cup squad I said the administration – and not the national selectors – must take the blame for the slow pace of transformation,” Hoskins was quoted as saying in the Independent Group newspapers.

    “We had to act immediately to address it, but there had to be substance to our way forward. There is no quick fix and we had to agree on a target for 2011. We have to ensure that every opportunity is created so that the national selectors can meet this target in the next four years.”

    Hoskins emphasised that he was looking at a targets, not quotas.

    “We, as the game’s leadership, must take charge of transformation issues. There can be no turning back on our commitment to change. We are not forcing the national coach to pick seven or eight black players in 2008. It is a target we believe can be achieved by the next World Cup when we can confidently say the Springboks represent everyone in South Africa, and that every player in the starting XV is there on merit. ‘

    Regan, the same two coloured wingers who started in the 2007 RWC final, and a black import from Zimbabwe is who will start four years later. You said it in 2007, blame the administration. So I am blaming you and that is why you should go.

    Rose is out purely based on performance and his poor attitude. He got tons of oppurtunities. Molefe got his chance with the Lions. Same story. Paul Delport with Western Province/Stormers. Same story – but he struggled with injuries also. Nikolai Blignaut was like a copy of TGHMQD. And Mxoli never quite cut it. Mzandwile Stick got his oppurtunity with Sharks CC side. Same story.

    You keep telling yourself that. In the mean time he is getting crazy money playing for Ulster and just won Players Player of the Year for them.

    Pienaar is a class player. He actually had some brilliant seasons when he first came through. That he played average alongside a very weak Springbok side in Australasia doesn’t change that.

    If those black players are as good, where are their European club contracts? Or are those clubs just as bad us?

    Keo
    At what level do you think this transformation should take place?
    Serious question.

    The way I see it, the CC right now should be used to blood the next generation. Of any colour.
    I have been way more interested in watching the Sharks u21 team this year than the 1st team. Perhaps the transformation should be taking place here? Maybe lower?

    Schools in Natal are full of players of colour, Glenwood, Maritzburg, Westville etc who then go on to make up the most of the Natal Schools team. Why havent these guys gone on to greater things?
    Sudden lack of interest? Is it a physical thing, where the whities mature later in life? Who the fark knows.

    To me, watching Stef and Joubert plodding around is worse than watching paint dry. With all the focus on the WC and Trination, this would have been the ideal situation to push younger players through and let them compete.
    Sithole
    Richards
    Jordaan
    Lindeque.

    Let these guys play now, get experience.

    I do think that forcing players into situations where they perhaps arent capable or underdeveloped could do more damage than good.
    Chilliboy is case in point. How long was he under an injury cloud when he was younger? Sicknote! He was playing way above his development and it showed. Compare that to now, a little older, a little bigger, more experienced. He managed a full S15 season and peoples perception of him has suddenly changed.

    Transform, yes. But I think it is critical to do it at the correct level.

    But you must say the ‘now’ with urgency, vigour and conviction.

    Keo, easy to point fingers but the reality is that it is about the best players and not their colour. Go have another look at the RWC 30 you yourself selected.

    Race based selections are immoral, simple as that. You can’t have it both ways.

    Either apartheid was acceptable – which would make the transformation agenda acceptable as well – or apartheid was wrong, in which case the whole issue of transformation is morally bankrupt along with it.

    It’s either or. You can’t have racial preference for white guys being condemned while putting racial targets for black guys on your agenda.

    What you CAN do, is pander to the morally bankrupt political leaders of the day in order to further your own interests, which is something Mark Keohane has never been shy of doing.

    @keo(keo)-19: Come on Keo. How many non-white players are in the RWC squad – eight? OK, so let’s imagine that PdV picks all 8 in his starting team. Will you be happy then? Of course not. Why not? That would mean Hoskins has exceeded his target.

    You’re just making a fuss because that is your business model.

    For you, as a white South African, to be haranguing a coloured South African because there aren’t enough black South Africans in the national rugby team is a joke.

    Transformation at the elite level of sport is a farce – nothing but Nineteen Eighty-Four nonsense and Newspeak . Most people around the world would have no idea what you’re banging on about. “You’re upset because there are too many white players in your national team? And that’s relevant why exactly?”

    See post number 16, these players were the best in the world they beat both New Zealand and Australia…. Andries Strauss was also part of that squad, by the way, he wasn’t even good enough to make the bench (he’s a springbok too). The question is, why is it that every single one of those white players in that team went to on to play superrugby and only a handful of the black players?

    Jake White’s team in contrast:

    SA u21 (2002)

    15 Jorrie Muller (Springbok), 14 Jean De Villiers (Springbok), 13 Clyde Rathbone (Wallaby), 12 Dewey Swartbooi (Boland), 11 Ashwin Willemse (Springbok), reserve, Odwa Ndungane (Springbok) 10 Francois Swart (deceased), 9 Ricky Januarie (Springbok) – reserve, Fourie Du Preez (Springbok)

    8 Jacques Cronje (Springbok), 7 Pedrie Wannenburg (Springbok), 6 Roland Bernard (probably retired) 5 Juan Smith (Springbok), 4 Gordon Gillfillan (probably retired), 3 Pat Barnard (Pom), 2 Gary Botha (Springbok), 1 Gurthro Steenkamp (Springbok)

    Only three players and Swys Swart (may his soul rest in peace) have not gone on to play international rugby. Fourie Du Preez and Odwa Ndungane (black winger) were the only bench players to make earn bok colours.

  • 47.BULLET: Reply to this comment

    Such a hot topic of debate.

    Simply, what was Hoskins key performance indicators when he took the job? If transformation at grass roots level was one, then fire the man. We cannot fire the president of Sarfu for making promises and not delivering, as this would open the door for almost all of the SARFU team to be fired:

    Sadly, he has blown his credibility somewhat, but if transformation was not one of his criteria that his Bosses were judging him on, he is safe.

    What I love about Sarfu is the following:

    Coach A is fired for telling the media that ticket prices are too high. Coach A has one of the highest winning %’s of all coaches, and coached SA to a world record equalling 17 test match wins.

    Coach B has told countless lies & made many faux pa’s related to race, giving the whites back their game, and has successfully taken a team he inherited from 1 in the world, and has them hanging onto 4. Not once has he even been reprimanded.

    My, oh my, have the standards that determine if a coach eels his job have changed!

    My point – quotas were clearly in effect right there. Those players may have been good at that level, but you can’t force them to be good enough to be playing CC, Super rugby or for the Springboks.

    It has nothing to do with how they’ve been treated or developed by the franchises. They just simply weren’t good enough.

    Not many black players there either. Willemse was a favourite of Jake White, who was then of course Springbok coach, and he didn’t last long. He had what, 3 tries in 20 tests or something along those lines? Odwa Ndungane was/is a better winger.

    And again Dewey Swartbooi got his oppurtunity. He played an entire season as starting 12 for the Bulls in the Super 12. Did he cut it? No. Good defender, but he struggled, a lot.

    It’s because the white players are better. You can’t develop black players at this level. It needs to start earlier.

    Apartheid was appalling. No good comes out of oppressing a race.
    Tacitus has a point though, whats happening now is similar to reverse apartheid. We are oppressing a race for another. We just have a new name and grand for is. (Affirmitive Action, BBBEE, transformation…you name it)

    Bottom line is the following: when you select 1 over another based on race, its equally appalling.

    Somehow SA are still stuck in this mould, its just the pendulum swinging.

    If anything we’re in a situation now where all the black players in the squad deserve their place. Also had Ashley Johnson & Lwazi Mvovo who were fairly unlucky.

    That hasn’t been the case in the past. We’ve had to put up with Lawrence Sephaka, Eddie Andrews, Dale Santon, Hanyani Shimange, Quinton Davids, Norman Jordaan (was that his name), Gcobani Bobo, Zane Kirchner (debatable)…

    At least now we have players who can actually say they deserve to be there and haven’t been picked because of the colour of their skin. To me that’s progress.

    its all about a smash and grab actually imo, because it is quite clear that cream, be it black or white, rises to the top like elton jantjes or jdj or gio or beast etc.

    but the playing pool of black players is simply so much smaller and therefore probability suggests that white players will continue to make up the numbers until this is not the case.

    You’re wrong on a number of fronts in that post, but you are right that you should not pin your hopes for the future on anyone else. And you’re right that better infrastructure is needed for the disadvantaged in society.

    So give them that. What’s happening to all that tax money we’re paying? Build rugbyfields at these schools, employ sports teachers, start phys ed again.

    Give these guys bursaries, get some BEE tycoons to fund black clubs.

    Get the Kings – where you are your own gatekeeper, to develop all these black superstars. If any of them are matchwinners, they will be bought up by the Bulls or the Stormers or the Sharks in no time, because those guys want every edge they can get to up their winning record.

    You should see how many coloured kids from the Western Cape Heyneke Meyer is “buying” to relocate to schools in Pretoria, because he wants them for the Bulls in 5 years time.

    the access to facilities is a good point but i think sometimes black people forget about the quite large white middle to lower class who dot exactly have first world facilities either and still produce athletes much as black athletes/ football stars still come out of the same areas where lack of facilities is blamed for lack of rugby players.

    its simply not that simple buddy.

    No, it is not the responsibility of every South African to create a better life for all. Where on earth did you come by that bit of brainless twaddle?

    It is the responsibility of every person who wishes to make a difference in someone else’s life to do so. Out of his own volition. Not by being forced.

    I do so on many fronts – and to people of all races – in small ways everyday. But it is my choice. It is not my duty.

    Hence, there may be causes that lie close to my heart, and to that I will donate money or time. In the same way, someone to whom the development of underpriviliged schoolsports is a priority, should then support it financially.

    Personally, I believe the need for food and clothes etc. should come before the “right to play every sport imaginable”, which in my view is a luxury, not a right.

    But anyone who feels different can put their time and money where their mouths are.

    Forced Transformation of any sport is wrong, evil, and not indicative of a free society. What needs to be done is to level the playing fields so that the very best players come through the youth systems irrespective of their race. To succeed in sport takes dedication and hard work not only talent and this should encouraged not hand outs and rewards for mediocrity. Imagine the outcry if in the US the government expressed the need to transform the NFL or NBA to include more white players to reflect the demographics of the country. They would be slammed for being racist. Politicians should stay out of sport. A Springbok team that is more reflective of the different races in South Africa will naturally occur over time.

    I just think it’s about time that we forget about “Transformation” and come up with something new which will work.

    In my opinion, change has to come from within and on laws will change that!

    The players themselves have to show change and make it happen for themselves. All they require is a fair chance and financial commitment from the authorities in rugby development.

    We must invest in promising young players who show a bit of younger to succeed and then support them through out their development and not desert them after school.

    We have so much talent at school level but it dissapears immediately there after.

  • 85.Train: Reply to this comment

    I have never rated Hoskins. He is one of those people who believes compromise is the ONLY form of leadership.

    Keo talks about irony… another one is that the leader probably best placed to lead rugby whilst ensuring transformation and a winning culture is Morne Du Plessis.

    Still believe he made a horlicks of the whole bok emblem thing – disgrace that it’s only on the sleeve of the jersey at the wc.

    Honestly, if I was a black kid from a poor area, I’d want rugby boots, shoulder pads, a scrumcap, proper nutrition, a nice field to play on, a safe environment to train in, a good coach to teach me the skills of the game and good medical cover should I get injured.

    All of that stuff means one thing: Financial support.

    So by all means, direct money towards supporting these players. Give them every opportunity to develop their talents to the max.

    Then let them loose to compete on an equal footing with the white kids.

    At the same time, give the same financial support to the hundreds of thousands of white kids who are also growing up in poverty today, but without the benefit of having a government who gives a sh*t about their predicament.

    Level the playing field for everyone. And then let the team demographics be whatever it is. Don’t select players based on skin colour.

    @Transformation(Transformation)-91: I believe by implementing a far better scouting system for talent (both black and white) from primary school level in all schools not only the big famous ones and advising the talent unearthed on everything from diet to new training systems. We should have institutions that get the best possible coaches to train talented youngsters who DO NOT go to the big schools and have a system where several small schools in areas get together and field combination teams for 3 or 4 matches a year against the Premier Rugby schools in the country. True sporting ability will be apparent in a youngster even in a very poor environment but the secret is for someone to be there to recognize it. I think a great deal talent gets missed in South Africa both black and white simply because they may not go to a recognized rugby school.

    You guys miss the point. It is not about who is or who isn’t good enough. it is about a leader who said hold me accountable. Now I am holding him accountable because so little has happened between World Cups. Hoskins asked to be given another chance on transformation in 2007. He was and he stood there proud as punch to confirm a squad that showed how little had changed since the last WC. If the game is to transform it needs strong leadership. Hoskins is not that answer. He bows to 14 provincial presidents. He gives them what they want and he hasn’t made a hard decision in his tenure. My criticism is aimed directly at one person.

    TRANSFORMATION Hoskins style is a letter to the unions asking for the inclusion of more black players.

    Has no one noticed that Hoskins has left 3 of his transformed unions out of Super Rugby?
    How is this possible you may ask – only because Hoskins is kept there by the old guard to delay this process.

    The process should be that everyone – read all SARU 14 rugby unions have an equal and fair opportunity to play Super Rugby.

    Only Hoskins and Marinos cocked this up right royally and failed to demand that each of the SANZAR partners has 6 teams in the tournament and SA Rugby gets the short end and we find ourselves yapping and scrapping like lapdogs over a chewy toy.

    This means then that transformation will now have to wait till 2016 when the new Super Rugby tournament starts.

    SA Rugby needs to grow a set of balls and address rugby on the premise that the best man gets the job and the best teams get to play but everyone plays on the same equal footing.

    There is massive inequality in rugby and it is condoned by SA Rugby.

    Another parallel to this lack of transformation of the Protea rugger side to a more acceptable pigmentation combination is the minority of Saffers with English speaking heritage in the team.

    Basically, there are not enough souties in the Boks. No, I’m not talking about English speaking players, like John Smit (Smit is no soutie name), I am talking about proper souties like Lambie or James.

    This may explain why players like Keegan Daniel were not selected.

    In my house I grew up talking rugby with my dad, with my uncles, with my cousins, with my friends, with stories about the rugby exploits of my grandfather and his brothers and cousins and friends.

    Most of my friends grew up in similar homes – excluding the nerdish pansies who didn’t care about sport.

    Bottomline, rugby is part of my culture. I wasn’t introduced to it in school, or at a club, or by a bulletin board next to the highway with Beast’s picture on it, or by seeing some guy wearing a Bok jersey in the street.

    Multiply that across the general white population. Particularly the Afrikaans population and you get a breeding ground that is guaranteed to generate good players every generation.

    I would be very interested to know the extent of such a culture among the black population. We constantly hear about it in the Eastern Cape, but what about the rest of the country/ The Eastern Cape is only a small part of South Africa. And even there, rugby is not universally supported.

    Are the Sothos as big about rugby?Are the Zulus, Pedis, Tswanas etc.?

    I would wager that the part of the black population more than casually interested in rugby does not outnumber the white population greatly. And I would wager that the part of the black population actually engaged in playing rugby is even smaller.

    And I would further wager that the part of the black population as fanatical about rugby as my family was when I was growing up – and still are – is outnumbered by the white population in this country.

    So throwing around figures of 50 million people in SA but 5 million dominating the rugby scene is extremely misleading. it is more like 5 million vs 5 million – with half of the non-white 5 million being the Western Cape coloured community.

    And even amongst that 5 million, the level of dedication, passion and fanaticism which made rugby a part of ones very culture – to the exclusion of almost any other sport – is found amongst only a small minority.

    I wish someone could actually investigate this to set the record straight.

    @Tacitus(Deucalion)-155: Great post. I agree wholeheartedly. The investment in transformation needs to happen in those intangible areas of publicity, market and word of mouth. You can’t force a culture (which is what our rugby fanaticsm is) onto an unsuspecting population.
    It will also not happen overnight as the existing culture among afrikaners was painstakingly put together over a century.

    Have you checked the black polo playing percentage lately? I reckon that needs even more work than rugby to get to a level that meets your artificially generated ratios.

    Personally I couldn’t give two hoots what Hoskins said 4 years ago about transformation because I do not agree with racially manipulating sports teams. It’s akin to the policies of Apartheid and as such is morally contemptible. Keo’s feigned indignance quite laughable really.

    I would rather my government invest its time [and tax payers' money] in ways that make a real difference – such as improving job prospects, infrastructure, housing, education and health systems.

    Sport is a matter of choice and cream always rises to the top. If you are good enough and train hard – no matter your upbringing, culture or living environment – you will make it.

    Having said that the R300million + which has been set aside for new cabinet ministers’ houses and luxury cars could go a long way to building new sports facilities in poor areas, and bursaries for poor kids to attend private schools.

    How about the R100million + set aside for that totally useless “Youth” Conference?

    How about the millions wasted each month by government departments renting empty buildings?

    “Transformation” is about encouraging kids to play rugby so that in future SA can choose from a much wider player pool, not about tinkering with your national, Super and Currie Cup teams (the upper echelons) and weakening the end product.

    Transformation should be taking place from age 8 to 18.

    It’s purpose should be to encourage black kids who wouldn’t ordinarily play rugby to start.

    You do this by improving access to facilities and coaching (through junior clubs) and fostering a love for the game – free tickets to stadiums for kids and free to air rugby on SABC. That’s where the government’s and SARU’s money should be going.

    Keo,, you are worng. Transformation needs to happen at a school and club level. SARU should be dumping all their money into promoting rugby in majority black schools – put up the fileds, supply the coaches… you can’t suddenly become a rugby player when you enter the Currie Cup. Right now, most of our black players, like our white players, are coming from traditional rugby powerhouse schools – because they have the best coaches, gyms, weight regimes, etc. South Africa will never tap into its vast wealth of potential payers while selection is limited to whether you attended Grey Bloem, or elite schools like Michaelhouse. SARU needs to make those same opportunities available to kids from rural KZN, from Attridgeville, from King Williamstown – the places of the country that are neglected by all. Black kids will flock to the game if it is well resourced.

    Keo always trying to stir trouble. You were happy when Brian van Rooyen was ousted by the President’s Council. On the other hand you are a President’s Council critic. I really do not get you. You are the know it all of rugby…doubt that very much.

    Under Brian van Rooyen SARU turned its first profit in a long time. He started to get the wheels going on transformation but he did not have the support of the big guns. Under his presidency we had an u21 and u19 world cup and it is in this very tenure that Jake White’s foundation for 2007WC win was laid.

    Now there’s a man who was ousted for other reasons and i am sure they were not rugby reasons because he delivered on his mandate. Oregan was always going to struggle coming in after van Rooyen. His task was to ensure that he is more mild mannered than Brian and that meant he had to keep a low profile and do a very tough balancing act. I think he has done just that.

    He has in fact pleased the President’s Council and maintained the status quo. He did what i expected him to do and i cannot call for his head now.

    Whoever comes in must really bring in a plan of how the boks can win 40 in 50 tests in between world cups. If a new president can deliver on that promise then it is fine by me.

  • 248.itsamyth: Reply to this comment

    The concept of transformation needs to be clearly defined and maybe ditched altogether, dare I say it. From a rugby context, the the broad misgiuded assumption is that teams MUST, in an ideal world, mirror the demographics of a country. If I have got this wriong, then please correct me. To me it seems that all discussions about the transformation subject are centred on this argument as a given truth if you like. This is completely wrong and a sure recepie for resentment and increased polarisation and division, the consequences of which our children will pay for without a doubt. Instead, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY should be the goal and focus. That is, any child should be allowed the opportunity to realise their full potential in whatever field THEY CHOOSE. That is where resources should and must be targeted and not on a race-based numbers game. The best talent coupled with hard work, dedication, discipline etc. will then rise to the top and be rewarded. Surely this is the transparent and logical path South Africa must take. On what scientific grounds MUST the national team represent the the racial demographics of a country? It is a completely absurd concept just as it would be to expect the majority of the world’s high jumpers to come from China or India; a possibility but not necessarily a given natural expectation.

    Does our Parliamentary Sports committee not have anything better to do with their time? FFS do we even need political interference in sport? NO!

    From IOL.

    The SA Rugby Union and SuperSport will be brought before Parliament’s portfolio committee on sport after musician Ard Matthews bungled the national anthem on Tuesday in a live television broadcast.

    The committee said on Thursday it did not find joy in an embarrassing event witnessed by the whole nation.

    Matthews forgot some of the words to Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika before Saru named the 30-man Sprinbok squad to play in next month’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.

    “This embarrassing incident occurred at a moment when we were celebrating the victory of the Springboks winning the game against New Zealand in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.”

    The portfolio committee said Saru and SuperSport would appear at its next meeting to explain the “debacle” and avoid such “embarrassments” in the future.

    Matthews, the lead singer of rock band Just Jinjer, and SuperSport apologised for the bungle on Wednesday. – Sapa

    See the ABs have to win this weekend’s match to take the Bledisloe Cup; they cannot adopt an attitude that they are now focussed on the RWC.

    Same applies to the Wallabies.

    What if major injuries, say to a Quade or Daniel come out of this week?

    These are some of the variables and or permutations that will be on the coaching staff’s minds.

    So it will be an intense 80 min only to count for very little a week later, pretty cruel if you ask me.

    From there on… of course the big one. The opening ceremony, the fireworks, the countless interviews and little events where the ABs will need to share their thoughts.

    I expect several incidents (tomfoolery) as the days and weeks drag on.

    It will be a case of AB fans wanting reassurance in every interview, every practice session, every event saying that they will do the business but no one will say it outright.

    No Kiwi interviewer will ask the question outright? Can we go all the way? But all the questions and nuances will actually imply it.

    Look out for SA commentators on Kiwi prog in their irrational desire to gauge the SA mindset or desire of the Boks to win again.

    half bred scum like this is the scum that lowers the common denomination of humanity below that of any animal… this piece of half bred half witted garbage scum that thinks its clever is lower than a filthy rotten half bred ignorant uneducated trash talking filthy rat.

    Scum garbage of the absolute worst kind in any society is this piece of filthy capo scum infested rat..

    People come on here either to talk some rugby or else to banter among each other in a reasonably civilized manner… where it sometimes borders on the razors edge of inhumane filth, it occasionally resembles a whorehouse in ovulation, … however the outright trash that regurgitates from out this half breed piece of scums mind who thinks he has some kind of moralistic disposition to declare principles of morality by his pseudo garbage infested ratification, is the absolute worst piece of filthy rotten regurgitated trash anyone could ever have the misfortune of acquainting themselves with.

    this capo scum is the worst piece of outright filth this website has ever had the misfortune of entertaining…and if such be the levels it so desires to stoop to then better it gets its head out its arse and start reevaluating what denotes reasonable principles of communication and what don’t..

    I may have been bordering on the thin edge of inappropriate behavior here often enough and the numerous bannings of my Id’s speak for themselves, but this outright piece of inherently filthy garbage scum stoops well below any level of acceptable interaction… so if they want to continue in this medium of despicable lowlife entertainment…. let them count the cost of the reactions that simply are abhorred by such outright scum infested unscrupulous garbage behavioral trash.

    Next SARU president is hardly any of my concerns.. as far as rugby goes in relation to its somewhat relative importance in the grander scheme of things here… I am simply concerned whether they are going to go for the toffee apple pie in the sky opportunistic endeavor to hail John Smit as the greatest Bok rugby captain and play him up front in the world cup hooking pecking order.. or by some last minute miracle see reason and realize that the TEAM comes first and the INDIVIDUAL is a nonentity NOBODY !!

  • 319.madvillain: Reply to this comment

    @ Transie; if i were you i would get off the transformation subject as it typically lends itself to racism, which some bloggers are accustomed to.

    You know the game of rugby, stick to what you know. I too get tired of fighting “petty” battles on transformation. I choose to dwell on matters that are rugby related because most people who prefer to call black people infidels do not know much about the daily struggles on the other side.

    Now that is out of the way, what’s your take on Brian van Rooyen vs. Oregan Hoskins?

    This is what Hoskins said in 2007 after the Bok squad announcement. This is why he has failed the game.

    Hoskins, in an interview with the Independent Group newspapers at the weekend, has set a target of at least seven players of colour in the Springbok starting XV in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

    Hoskins, at the weekend, again emphasises the fact that the game’s administrators, and not the national selectors, would be judged on transformation.

    “At the announcement of the 2007 World Cup squad I said the administration – and not the national selectors – must take the blame for the slow pace of transformation,” Hoskins was quoted as saying in the Independent Group newspapers.

    “We had to act immediately to address it, but there had to be substance to our way forward. There is no quick fix and we had to agree on a target for 2011. We have to ensure that every opportunity is created so that the national selectors can meet this target in the next four years.”

    Hoskins emphasised that he was looking at a targets, not quotas.

    “We, as the game’s leadership, must take charge of transformation issues. There can be no turning back on our commitment to change. We are not forcing the national coach to pick seven or eight black players in 2008. It is a target we believe can be achieved by the next World Cup when we can confidently say the Springboks represent everyone in South Africa, and that every player in the starting XV is there on merit. ‘

    Regan, the same two coloured wingers who started in the 2007 RWC final, and a black import from Zimbabwe is who will start four years later. You said it in 2007, blame the administration. So I am blaming you and that is why you should go.

    It’s all very well attacking Hoskins for the lack of transformation. The reality is that his hands have been tied by the Provincial Unions and their desire to pander to the support base that puts them into power. The president of SARU has very little executive power when it comes to enforcing policies on the unions themselves.

    For the life of me I cannot see how driving a racial agenda like transformation is able to solve a racial problem. It wouldn’t make any difference to me if the SA rugby was entirely black, in fact i’d far prefer it, but trying to make it so is surely not the way to go. SA is mired in racial nonsense, its like a big chip on its shoulder that constantly weighs it down, its too be expected, but one wonders if it will every be able to truly supercede its racial roots.

    I have been saying this for four years already yet for that I become the fly in the ointment.

    The unions and the franchises are, in fact, the ‘reformed’ but still largelly dishonest SARB now posing as SARU(the former non-racial entity). These regional bodies’ representatives ensure, and deliberately so, that non-thinking, malleable, woefully weak people like Hoskins and PdeV. are put into these essentially well-paying, status positions with a specific mandate in hand.
    They as nominated officials(not an open elected position), if they act with too much independence,are threatened their never-yet-seen earnings by whatever means is required including mysterious tapes and more. They are mere puppets on a string to be moulded like pieces of clay or plasticine into any shape deemed necessary.
    Which group is more distasteful is rather a matter of choice but they are equally sick and give rise to neo-racism in the country i.e. sophisticated window dressed non-racial sport.

    This whole sick racist SARB structures have to be eradicated and new healthier structures set in place before the real s hit hits the fan, and soon.

    your version of the truth, i simply cannot see how one can have a racial solution to a supposedly racial problem, but i’m not quite sure anyone really understand what i’m saying here other than the real racists who want to keep the status quo. my point tho is that if there are no racial agendas then there is no need for transformation.

    there are two contrasting forces, the one is supposed ingrained racism in which black fellas supposedly do not come through the system, the other antidote force is to force quotas or race reservation targets to force black talent through even if its not up to standard thereby causing those more talented whites to be discriminated against. Both are wrong. Transformation is probably the lesser of two evils, but any sort of social or racial engineering is very dangerous.

    SA will only become a truly non-racial country when the very idea of transformation is no longer part of the lexicon, and that is why it is still in the dark ages compared to the US and European sports.

    I see it happening at school level quite substantially already.. I reckon within 10 – 20 years what we know as unequal opportunity in the medium of this sport will have largely disappeared and vanished down the spiral of dwindling racially applied structure in every sphere of SA life style and endeavor.

    Blaming the structures isn’t going to change the makeup of SA rugby at the higher player levels. Whilst the game at all levels remains rooted in the perception that we have a “traditional” approach, that in reality is based on the aggressive/defensive psyche of the apartheid society we will continue to marginialise the majority of black players who don’t fit the stereotype. What is sad is that SA rugby has actually produced great creative players in the past that defy the current concepts of our traditional game.
    We need to emulate the Aussies, and approach the game as one that needs to develop a players talent.

    This sport problem(esp. pro-sport) is far more complex than even you and I perceive it to be and I accept that our perspective(yours and mine) can and will be quite different.

    For me the essential problem is rooted in the politics and economics of S.A.

    At no stage am I even getting to player development which we all accept is sadly still imbalanced.

    Rugby control is still, to all intents purposes, in the hands of questionable Afrikaners who want us to believe it is democratically so. But that is clearly not so if you just look at what happens with the coaches at some unions and who they select. Afrikaners control this industry and will attempt to do so for a long time to come.

    So the old system was racism, but the justification was reprehensible that whites were deemed superior.
    The transformation system is still racism, but is considered less reprehensible since it aims to compensate for past racism.

    But there is a third option, which is to have a society devoid of racist rules period, no discrimination based on any justification, the change might be slower than transformation, but it also might prove to be a far better and more stable system for all in the long run, rather than caught in a constant cycle of racist rules and thinking.

    Just look at the rafts of legislation in SA, look at how often racism rears up in every conversation – its packed full of racism.

    To level the playing field the prymid of rugby needs to be turned on its head. Those that were last should now be first and those that were first should now be last. That base pointing upwards give many,many thousands to be developed while the apex pointing groundwards shows what less development needs to be concentrated there.

    “Transformation” (i.e. darkification) is PURELY a 100% racial agenda. It is just as insidious as apartheid was. Hoskins shouldn’t be criticised for not “transforming” — he ought to be praised to the rafters for it (even if he and PDivvy are transformationista themselves).

    All representative teams — from schools upward — should be picked ENTIRELY on merit and nothing but merit. And so too the administrators, referees and all the other rugby remoras.

    There are two types of people; good, and bad. Unfortunately the bad has the most to say, mainly because they know they are bad, and they hate themselves for it. So, they become more bad (worse). The good try their best to be good and to make a good living. Eventually they prosper. The bad might also prosper, but eventually they lose everything, and some more. :-)

However, if you take that same same person, he will look at someone he knows that is from another race group, and see him as a friend, the same as he is. It is all about getting to know the “person”. Most people, no matter what their opinions are of a certain race, can be friends with people from that group if they get to know them on a one-to-one basis.

    Trotsky was a far more humane communist, as was our very own slovo, but
    these are all ideologies, which are imperfect, particularly when skewed by individual agenda’s such as mao and stalin who believed some were more equal than others. And that is the problem with all ideologies including tranformation, which is that it is open to abuse whatever its purer intentions might be. Also, it is not clear that these ideologies actually work in practice or make things worse. Are we all meant to be equal or is it our individuality that brings us the most happiness and creativity. so while capitalism might have resulted in far more liberal advanced societies, it might also suffer from all the evils of class systems, race systems and inequality that are indemic to it.

    If there are no ideologies and no rules, then you have anarchy, and are back to the rule of nature where only the strongest survive and we all lead pretty ****** feudal lives. So whats the answer?

    And is your capitalism and its derivatives like imperialism and neo-colonialism perfect and more acceptable then?

    How do you view those who killed Patrice Lumumba, Oginga Odinga or even Steve Biko since you are so concerned about spilling blood?

    Have you ever heard of honest pay for honest skilled endeavours?

    Foreign notion to you with your cheating even ‘illegal immigrants’ of their work for mere bread and butter.

    But such is to be expected if you are born near the river Tiberius. And no such river is to be found in S.A.

    both idiots.

    capitalism, communism – both have their strengths and weakness, both open to explotiation. personally, i think communism as a theory is far more humane because it aims for economic equality – but i dont think u are interested in that, not really, i think u after numero uno.

    @Tecumseh(Tecumseh)-424:
    still dunno who my people are? never known anyone involved with the cradock four. what are you actually hoping to achieve on this here website? the revolution is long gone, luckily enough it was relatively bloodless.

    What you wrongly call “revolution” is merely reformation of the same economic system, in short, replacing corrupt whites with equally corrupt blacks, judging by what we have thus far observed.

    @cab(cab)-427: you are evading my questions with sarcasm.you would not know the cradock four because according to you apartheid never existed :D

    @cab(cab)-427: there was never a revolution in south africa.only the politycal system changed and nothing else.no cultural or economic revolution,basically one system based on entitlement was replaced with another.it seems to me you can’t grasp the concept of revolution.i don’t have the time to school you on that but i will advise you to take a close look to the french one and especially the chinese one under mao zedong in order to broaden your concept of revolution.

    Fortunately Capo is poodally inclined.

    Which makes further breeding unlikely.

    However, should the unthinkable happen and Capo manages to rouse himself from his drug induced stupor to produce a Cape Maltese offspring remedial action will be required.

    Its all speculation though, as I’m sure he will be back in Pollsmoor on parole violation before any of this happens.

    Although we can’t discount him falling pregnant there :)

    The only way to promote transformation is to play the strongest teams !!! The kids of today do not see colour, they only see brand names !!! If the brand is strong the kids will follow. Show the kids in Soweto a strong successful brand and they will play the game and you will get transformation. Stop talking politics and stop sucking up to politicians. Grow the game and the numbers will come !!!
