[QUOTE="QKXV, post: 120616"] While I agree that policitcs messing with rugby or any sport for that matter is not ideal, we don't nearly have half the situation that we did a couple of years ago when the quota started appearing as the talent now has developed phenomenally. It's been 13 years since the end of apartheid, so these guys we label as quota's now had worked through the same ex-white pivilidged tiers to get to where they are now, some selections clearly blur the line between quota and merit e.g you can't tell me Habana is a quota. Once talents like Floors, Fortuin and many more have matured more and gain experience, they too would eventually blur that line even more As a South African I can assure you, real South Africans won't ever turn their back on the Bok, if they do, they're probably hensopper blood anyway. Have a look at this topic for some more views on the quota: [url="http://www.therugbyforum.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=18624&view=findpost&p=211094"]http://www.therugbyforum.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=211094[/url] [/QUOTE]
