Boks snub Soweto

On Keo.co.za both stories are covered.
The reports, and the comments from the avid rugby supporters is overwhelmingly in favour of the Soweto trip and most were dumbfounded as to how the administrators, not the team, had managed this monumental cock-up. Only Eskom could do worse than SARU, and only just.
So to those who believe rugby and the supporters are all racists etc etc, please have a look at the articles and the comments. This is not the teams fault at all. Take your anger out on the administrators who are wasting oxygen.

One can only draw 2 possible conclusions from this f@ck up as nobody in this country can be this detached from the political challenges we face in this sport.

1. The people running South African rugby are incompitnent idiots with no sense of anything happening around them.
2. They are doing this on purpose to undermine the Springbok brand and team.

Neither very good for SA rugby or the country, get rid of the freeloaders please!!!!!!

I feel for your happiness .. but they're still not touring Edenvale, even though they sometimes practice here ... pfffft!

maybe they know what the place is like, cause they practice there, and want to avoid it like the plague?

Well stated!

My sentiments exactly!
 
i think the people of soweto had a right to be angry... sa rugby should have done the numbers before announcing that they'd be visiting soweto. the reson why east london people (and everyone else) aren't angry is because no one ever said the boks would be visiting there :rolleyes:
 
Well, they going now anyways! haha... Poor Springboks!
I bet someone told the residents of Soweta, listen here... rugby team is coming, just cheer and clap alot please! this way, they'll think you care and we can get black players into the team! ;)
 
Shame they in Springbok suits and on an open top bus in the rain, must not be as pleasant as they tought it would be.
 
If you have pics, please post links to them or make a thread in Off Topic..PLEASE. ;)

Can I describe it? Theres a green bus with Sasol branding.
Its open top.
Jake is there in a Springbok suit, holding the trophy in the air.
Percy is under a Springbok Umbrella lol!!
