[QUOTE="saulan, post: 795608, member: 60236"] I didn't realise that there was actually a target in place for the SR franchise teams, but apparently there is. The requirement is 35% black representation. Apparently the Lions are in trouble because they are failing badly: [URL]http://www.sport24.co.za/Rugby/SuperRugby/no-enough-black-players-in-lions-team-20160425[/URL] Slightly surprised by that, I thought they were one of the teams leading the way. But after taking a look at their last team sheet I guess the black players they do have are in the starting team (4 of them) and then there doesn't seem to be anyone in the reserves, not sure what the make up of the Currie Cup qualifier team is but I would guess probably not diverse. 17% is pretty low though. I don't think anything will happen to the team as a result from this, but they will definitely be feeling a bit more pressure behind the scenes. Edit: took a look at their CC qualifier team, four starting and one on the bench. [/QUOTE]
