[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1004136, member: 40658"] Well, it was just the first episode. And that Episode was a tribute to Kaunda Ntunja. The documentary is about the journey the Springboks took from Rassie's appointment up to us winning the World Cup. And Transformation was indeed a big part of the journey. Of course they are going to have an episode about it. It is one of the major talking points is SA Rugby. I'm actually glad they used the black springbok players in that episode and mentioned that they weren't picked on merit in the past. That to me is a big middle finger to the SA Government. It showed that Rassie knew that the selection of players based on skin colour, will be an issue for the government, So what he did, was to take that thorn in his side, and remove it from the equation, to get that monkey off his back. I actually enjoyed the snippet about that first game where Kolisi was picked as captain, and the part where Kaunda talks in Xhosa as the players ran onto the field against England in 2018. [/QUOTE]
