[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 817532, member: 55747"] @[URL="http://www.therugbyforum.com/member.php?u=40658"]TRF_heineken[/URL] thanks for giving me a straight answer. Another question if you don't mind: Out of complete ignorance, why would de Allende qualify as a quota player? I am not really familiar with his background but he doesn't look black. Again, out of ignorance, not trying to stir things up or anything like that. And one comment. I'll use [COLOR=#000000]Jantjies as an example but i could use others: sure, he underperformed but based on a) His performance in SR (he wasn't the only one who underperformed in the final so lets not pin that on him) b) Patrick Lambie being injured c) Pollard being injured d) Steyn not being the shadow of what he used to be I find it quite reasonable for him to have been selected for the starting XV in the games so far. Sure, it didn't work, but it's quite easy to make that judgement call with tomorrow's newspaper. If you tell me they keep on using him after such performances, then yes, you are right. This appears to be a sensitive subject for some so let me be clear: i am not calling anyone a racist and i personally believe that quotas are not the answer, but i am not convinced that quotas are neither sole nor the main reason for RSA's performance.
