[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 873818, member: 40658"] Sorry Saulan, but I'm not even going to read that article. Mr. Xabanisa, the writer of that article has a very skewed viewpoint with regard to SA Rugby, and most of his opinion pieces, aren't worth reading, and is spewing of racially biased notions. I remember that one article which he wrote, that was removed from Sport24's site when it reached a 1000 dislikes and over 500 negative comments. And since then I have found his articles to be tasteless. I hate the idea of us not measuring ourselves against the best in the world. And for some to say that we shouldn't, shows that we are starting to give in. That we have lost our status as being one of the best rugby nations in the world, and there is no way we will go back to our former glory days. And I refuse to accept that. I can't understand how people can't see that. The innovation the players and coaches from New Zealand show in the Super Rugby, proves that they are the trendsetters and that we all must play catch-up. Yes, I understand that we should look at beating other nations too, and measure ourselves against them. But for me, The All Blacks are the pinnacle of Rugby excellence and that is what we should strive at beating or being equal to. [/QUOTE]
