[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 818203, member: 74121"] A different take from Planet Rugby on the same story about AC's coaching headache, indicating that this is another issue that may not be about race (as some of the above articles appear to be suggesting): [I] "The current situation is arguably a result of the Springboks’ budget being strained this year, after failing to secure a consistant sponsor following the departure of ABSA, therefore denying Coetzee the expansive selection of staff that his predecessor was given due to budget constraints."[/I] [url]http://www.planetrugby.com/news/coetzee-asks-for-more-coaches/[/url] Strange to see other articles above saying [I]"this guy doesn't have experience at test level"[/I]. Every single player and coach didn't have experience at test level at one point, including Eddie Jones and Steve Hansen. Also, if De Allende is considered white, then my head count of their last team had 5 out of the 23 as being non-white. Even further away from the alleged quota of 7 out of 23. In the game day thread when the team was announced that appeared to have not gone unnoticed, with suggestions AC might be sticking two fingers up to the Sports Minister. That is one possible explanation, but an alternative is that AC is, like his predecessor, free to select players based on merit. If there is a quota in place regarding 7 out of 23 players, then lets be completely clear; there then has to be 7 non-white players in the squad or it is not a quota in any way, shape or form. It'll be interesting to see the team selection this upcoming week and play the numbers game. [/QUOTE]
