[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 837379, member: 12190"] Of course those principles should translate onto the rugby pitch, ignore anyone saying otherwise. If people have a battle to fight around nationality/naturalisation laws because they think it's too easy to become qualified, it happens on a policy-making level not within selection. If ,as is the case now, no laws prevent Stander becoming captain, then resistance to him becoming captain falls firmly within the bounds of discrimination. This is the case regardless of whether the laws on nationality are weak. Point is, anyone proposing that he shouldn't be captain is advocating discrimination. If you don't like the rules, challenge them in the right place. [/QUOTE]
