[QUOTE="saulan, post: 794015, member: 60236"] Ah yes, I didn't see that before I left. Agreed, I think all national teams should think about doing it really, it's the best way to lock in all of your talent, as they come out the gates. It also means they capture more players because that U20 tournament is played yearly locking in about 30 players a year versus, for example, a South African A who I think last played in 2003. Honestly we are probably in the best position we could be in terms of players coming through our U18 provincial tournaments, our age group currie cup games and our Varsity Cup tournament. So there is no shortage in that regard. I can't remember the exact quota requirement, but the Stormers I think are meeting the requirements playing their best players, the Kings (although so far being fairly useless) are also meeting requirements. The Lions, Sharks, Bulls and Cheetahs are currently lacking in diversity, pretty much having two or three black backline players (with some props like Nyakane and Beast in the forwards). [/QUOTE]
