[QUOTE="QKXV, post: 109140"] The fact is there is some phenomenal talent in SA, both white and black. But the question that keeps sticking in my mind: " Is this goverment pushed 'race selection' the best way?" - Which is pretty much the same thing DNA Play asks, and his suggestion to push these guys from the grass roots up is much better than what Komphela and the goverment threatens to do.... This approach of theirs(SA GOV) is no doubt damaging the capabilities and talents of the very players the goverment wants to see in the side, imagine what goes through your head if you make the squad and you happen to not be white...."Is it because I am the best at this position or is it because I am a better representation of my country" - Any focused athlete will tell you, the slightest bit of disbelief, a split second of indecision is what seperates the winners from the losers and in my opinion to have half a springbok side with this tiny little bit of unconcscious doubt in their minds will be very costly to the Bok world cup campaign.
