[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 157107"] It's a touchy subject because race is involved. I believe if players are good enough, their ethnicity or religious beliefs shouldn't factor into the equation. Ideally South Africa should be allowed pick the best team regardless of colour. However South Africa is a unique situation due to apartheid. Thrusting inferior players en masse into the line up could set the game back in that country rather than improve it. Any politically motivated change should be gradual. Thus, if South Africa do employ the quota system as seems to be the case, the obvious immediate solution is to bring in quota replacements for departing internationals such as John Smit, Os Du Randt, Percy Montgomery, Victor Matfield and Butch James rather than tear apart the World Cup winning side in a type of reverse discrimination.
