[QUOTE="BPM, post: 820346, member: 59968"] As another non South African, I also disagree with the quota system. I understand the concept, but I can't see how it can be achieved without positive discrimination, which is clearly not the answer. I absolutely agree that "Players and Coaches should be picked on merit and merit alone" and it would be an absolute tragedy if the Bok rugby tradition were to die. However, I don't understand why the Boks are "in the long run the only country that can compete with the All Blacks"? or why they should the be "the biggest draw in world rugby, the biggest prize, the biggest money spinner"? Of course, you're entitled to your opinion, but they're odd statements to make without context. Putting national loyalties aside, I want test rugby to be as competitive as possible. As much as I respect New Zealand, I don't think they're dominance is good for the sport and I'd like to see the strongest possible Bok side - and a stronger Wallabies side for that matter. [/QUOTE]
