[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 796351, member: 12207"] Someone's in a snarky mood :rolleyes: From what I understand they've had trouble getting the sort of government assistance and recognition most other sports take for granted for decades now. I mean I know in Britain they had an almost pathological prejudice against Rugby League in the Union regions and old boys networks that saw plenty of discrimination there, but England was home to the original split and that was all about the wealthy wanting to keep working class people in their place. That direct history never happened among the two codes in South Africa, so you'd think they'd be more reasonable. [/QUOTE]
