[QUOTE="mdaclarke, post: 873009, member: 73361"] The sad thing is that the decline of the Springboks is entirely self inflicted. Pick the best players, regardless of where they play or any other political interference. I can't imagine Brazil in football only picking players from the Brazilian league. South Africa doesn't have the economy to compete, the payers are going to go north, may as well accept it. If they do then they have the talent pool to challenge the All Blacks again. Also I feel that International rugby needs a strong Springboks, it is not like Football where there are dozens and dozens of world class teams and rivalries. Rugby needs all the strong international teams that it can get. There should be no bigger rivalry that the Boks and All Blacks, but the rivalry is dying, that is bad for rugby. [/QUOTE]
