[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 816330, member: 20605"] Heineken I enjoyed reading your post #19, which answered emphatically, every point @[URL="http://www.therugbyforum.com/member.php?u=74121"]Bruce_ma_goose[/URL] made. As someone who has both been to South Africa a couple of times (during and after Apartheid) and who has family there, I thoroughly agree with everything you said. Political interference has NO place in sports, least of all in team selection polices. The coaches and selectors should have the right to select who they consider are the best players in each position regardless of race or skin colour. This is one of the things that the anti-apartheid protestors in South Africa and other countries fought for,; selection based on [U][I]merit[/I][/U]. They didn't fight that fight so that another bunch of racists could come into power and implement reverse racism. [/QUOTE]
