@mxhosa – at the moment the Bok feeder system = The Bulls
So, yes…I guess you’re right.

How do you okes feel about Mujati…? He’s done some good stuff in Uk….but he’s not played for reasons we all know.
Accusations of inequality for black players when there is racism agains our Zim brothers.

Fact is that no bok has had enough players of colour to choose from. Most of them are on the wing or outside centre… In the forwards, they’re mostly loose forwards, hookers or loosehead props.

In last week’s CC team sheets the were only 18 players of colour out of 132, only 11 starters…

In next year’s super 15 the following players will feature regularly in match 22′s:

Bulls:

Kirchner, Basson, Ralepelle

Cheetahs:

Rhule, Raubenheimer

Kings:

????

Sharks:

JP Pietersen, Mvovo, Beast

Stormers:

Aplon, Habana, De Jongh, Kolisi, Jantjies? (If the rumours are true)

The problem is that not enough black players are coming through the bok feeder system. The EP Kings who will supposedly address the problem only have two black players in the starting xv for this weekend’s game… Where the hell is this pool of black players the coach is supposed to choose from?

@Skeppie-100: true @Heavens Game-103: I think we've covered that already, HG. It could be any of pigmentation, Language group or the franchise for which you play/not play. So, when a favorite of mr X is not selected and it is this perception that it is because of the player's color and at another time, one of your favorites (Keegan) is not selected and it is your perception is that it is about him being English and not Afrikaans, why are you right and mr X is wrong?

@nama1-96: Who was the form Super Rugby flyhalf of 2011…?

Yet he was hardly picked either other than a few minutes on field in the snow against Scotland?

Apparently he was a better 15 than flyhalf… according to Matfield and the other Morne Steyn cheerleaders…

So, Nama, its not always about pigmentation… Maybe its about the way you speak… Lambie, a good Michaelhouse boy, could be a little too posh of a soutie for some of the inferiority complex sensitivities of some of the “traditional power” Boks…

@rangerman-55:
“but pdv used jantjies how many times?”

Now that’s a cop out if ever there was one.

Jantjies break through year was in 2010. In 2011 he did not play well in the S14 and was even dropped from the Lions team by Mitchell.

Unlike Meyer, who still selects Morne now despite his poor form, PdV opted not to select Jantjies because of his poor form in 2011 in the S14. Also, it was a RWC year. Not really the time to blood a young FH, if you know what I mean.

Do you now blame him for that?

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-83: Don't waste your energy.He is only interested in two-step wingers instead of ones that can defend as well.
