[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 878012, member: 74121"] I'm using the Transformation report as my source document - if facts give you a giggle then fair enough. It is abundantly clear that the goal of transformation is not to "do a Scotland" and pinch players from neighbouring countries. It is to rear home grown players from as diverse a cross section of the population as possible. Ergo, it is perfectly reasonable for me to assert that south African born black players like Mapimpi or Mohoje would be valued more from a transformation perspective. It is also therefore fair to suggest that if selections were massively influenced by transformation factors, then players like Mapimpi (Pro14 top try scorer, playing lights out for the whole year) would be in the Boks squad. I see that the ANC government just outbid France and Ireland by pledging $160million for a sport that so many, for so long, have tried to keep a pursuit of a small minority of the population. Not a bad bit of financial assistance from a rugby hating bunch of racists is it? [/QUOTE]
