[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1033473, member: 40658"] If politics never come into it, then South African Rugby wouldn't be in the position they are in. Actually South African Sport in general wouldn't be in the position it is in. If it wasn't for our politics, many Saffas wouldn't have gone to overseas. Kevin Pietersen being prime example, and he has said in many interviews he left SA because of politics and him not seeing a future for himself in SA, due to his skin colour. Politics, whether we like it or not, has a direct link with Sport and how it's influenced. Look at how governments and politics are limiting sport being played due to COVID on an international scale. Politics should never come in to it. But alas, it ALWAYS comes in to it. It's unavoidable. As for the high school scouts thing. I can't say that I've read a lot about Ireland doing scouting at Craven Week. Scotland, England, France & Italy, yes... [/QUOTE]
