[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 900936, member: 59145"] [URL]http://www.rugby365.com/countries/south-africa/84509-audio-rassie-opens-up-on-quotas-and-captaincy[/URL] Anyway so basically Rassie has come out and said exactly what his quota is, and it's essentially the average composition of the team throughout the year must be 45% players of colour. Now because it's an average, what that does mean is he can try to stack the games against minnows with more players of colour whether he will get away with this is another story but he could for instance play 23/23 players of colour against Italy (no offense just probably the easiest fixture we have) to get his average up. In all likelihood I think he'll go for a middle ground maybe just add slightly more POC's in his easier fixtures and slightly less in his hard ones at his discretion. I actually think the baseline to basically have our strongest team (or near our strongest team) is already there. 45% is 10.5avg per game so: 1) Beast 6) Siya 13) Am 11/14) Leyds/Ismaiel/Rhule/Nkosi/Mampimpi/Dyantyi etc etc etc Then you add either Gelant at 15 or Elton at 10 and you have 6. Four on your bench (and here we compromise a little) and you're golden. Manageable but annoying. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
