[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 988864, member: 40658"] Okay, I'll bite, just for the sake of seeing how this pans out. Development of youth, and the selection of players for the Springboks is 2 different things. AC had the right to pick foreign based players, even though there was the 30-cap rule. That's all that changed, and even though that rule was enforced, AC still picked players playing overseas with less than 30 springbok caps. There is definitely a huge potential in the black population in SA, nobody is disputing that. And you won't find many arguments with the players selected for the RWC last year, no matter the colour of their skin. The issue has more to do with forcing teams to select players who are not on merit, and basically giving them a free pass to more game time at a higher level, when the quality is poor. And it's not just in rugby either. Vernon Philander is just the latest guy to talk about how he hates the quota/transformation policy in cricket. [/QUOTE]
