[QUOTE="blackbird762p, post: 120510"] As a big ALL BLACK supporter in South Africa I always ask myself why can't South Africa or the Boks just select a side chosen om merrit alone.It makes it very difficult to compete against world class teams if you are playing a side that's half baked and not the best in the country.The poloitical situation in SA does make it VERY difficult for the selectors in this country as they HAVE to select "players of color" even if they are not good enough to make the side.In other words,participating is more important than winning.Supporting a country that plays international rugby with a political backbone is not on and that is why many south africans are now simply turning their backs on the boks to support a sides that can still select a side on merrit. :( [/QUOTE]
