[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 794027, member: 39190"] Its difficult to say simply because we don't get to see the guys that don't make it but even though the number of black players playing rugby vs the total population %-wise isn't great and there is some 'fast-tracking' for a certainty I feel the development and scouting side of things are going better than one would think- at leat than what I'd have thought. Black players tend to be either performing or be relegated to certain position only though; front row, back row and outside backs. I used to be quite pessimistic about our prospects but have to say its going better than I expected and maybe worth the initial pains long term if we can get the best of our entire population rather than just the minorities.
