[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 769698, member: 59145"] To be honest I find all this cynicism about our country to be very wearying. In the end we don't have a quota system in rugby and I don't think we will in the near future. The 50% goal is just that a [B]goal [/B]not enforceable policy and since roughly 30% of our squad were people of colour this year 50% isn't that far off, especially since I think a lesser number will be accepted closer to the world cup. Anyone who says we didn't win this world cup because of political interference is talking utter nonsense, we lost for many reasons and if racial quotas was one of those reasons it was a very very small one. Also the number of quality black players should continue to increase as inequality in the country evens out, so I think we can probably find ourselves in a place where we are only slightly weakened by quota goals. As for Heineke Meyer, I've come to the decision that I'd be happy with him having another four years, partly because I think it takes more than 4 years to build a championship team and partly because I don't see many other options. I did recently read an article that claimed HM said we don't have the requisite skills to play an expansive game, and if true I'd rather Heineke does get fired, I'm inclined to think the article is ,making stuff up though, what do you guys think?
