[QUOTE="QKXV, post: 45590"] Good idea but I don't think it will take off, simply because union is struggling to break through to most of the black population anyway, don't get me wrong, there are loads of followers right across the rainbow population regardless. Any South African (or any other more political aware opinion) can shoot me down if I am wrong here, but I think Rugby is still seen as a class thing, football or soccer are played more frequently in the townships and favoured as the primary sport in most english taught schools, which is where most black kids goes because of preffering not to be educated in the language of the oppressor (Afrikaans). . I reckon that people should play what they want and what they are good at, I mean if SA had a dart playing tag team or ping pong doubles in the olympics I doubt one had to be white and the other black, it would and should be solely dependent on their performence and talent in hitting the bullseye or playing a backhand than the colour of their skin. BTW does mixed race come into the quota count?? Because if it doesn't then it is another example of alienation and discrimination. What about indian, chinese, portugese....shouldn't the quota include everyone then??? I hate talking politics, because being from SA things can easily be twisted around as we are so often tarnished by the apartheid brush, so please don't take what I am saying in the wrong way here, I'm not meaning to offend at all quite the contrary.
