Fans declare war on Saru

He actually has a point.

It came up in an article a few weeks or so ago. He's not black enough as he's Zimbabwean... Strange I know

There are people, like SARRA, which are in the same opinion about Habana. The whole race debacle is that people want their own... black, coloured, white, Indian, it is only the cover - you need to turn the page.

He won the RWC even though he didn't beat NZ away. PdV beat NZ away but never won the RWC. This can go back and forth the whole week if we want.

I suppose hey but even the most hardened supporter will admit that we were a tad fortunate in 2007, our toughest game was against the Argies in the Semi. We could not possible lose against the pommies in the final having beaten them 36-0 in the prelim games.

Then if you think how it went down against Tonga were we scrapped through you will realise that maybe we were not that great in 2007. Also remember the Aussies just a few weeks prior ? 49-0 ? Having said that, a win is a win and I for one keep reminding my so called educated local All Black fans about it lol

A win is a win. That very same supporters are in the opinion that we won the All Blacks and Australians in the Rugby Championship, we lost.

This, however,

“I think what’s more important is that South Africa does not play well when we don’t have a fire up our backside,” said Mallett.

“If we are not under pressure, the guys don’t play with as much aggression as we saw this time. Going into the third game (of the Rugby Championship), we heard a lot about how well we’d played against Australia, but we lost, how well we played against New Zealand, but we lost.

“It was a complacent team that ran out in Durban and we were thoroughly spanked. What was good this time is that it wasn’t a complacent team, it was a desperate team, and our defence was outstanding.

“I don’t think you can say everything is alright now. I think Ashwin (Willemse) made a good point when he said Argentina is a team capable of beating any team with a one-off performance, and we’re capable of playing badly enough to lose to any team with a one-off performance.

“Going into the World Cup we have to avoid that one-off poor performance we had last weekend because at the last World Cup we could have lost to Wales (in a pool match), and last year we lost against Wales and Ireland (on the end-of-year tour). And against Argentina away we’ve had a couple of close shaves. You don’t often see New Zealand playing three or four poor games in a row.”

is true. There is inconsistency amongst the Springboks…

When COSATU moaned about the Springbok selection, they actually excluded Damian de Allende.

I thought Damian is Porra/Greek. :o

Then again, he looks a bit like Dillyn Leyds who is also coloured.

So, I found this today, Google translated:

The controversy surrounding the number of black and colored players in the Springbok team said in a farce degenerates when Tony Ehrenreich, Cosatu the second time in a week forced to change his classification of breeds of a Springbok rugby player.

Ehrenreich, who first thought the Boxing Enter Damian de Allende is white, but later said he was a "colored, one of our people" changed yesterday again his tune after the Allende family said they do not know where Ehrenreich the story is that they are not brown.

In an interview Wednesday with Rapport Eduan Roos Ehrenreich De Allende apologized for the mistake after "the night" found out his father was brown.

"We see him now as a colored. He is one of our people, "said Ehrenreich. (Read the full interview on p. 3 of Weekly.)

This is the Allende family very amused. Damian's father, Tony de Allende, from Spanish origin, they say they've never seen as brown. They are white.

Rapport

The bad translation isn't helping me. Does Damian have black/coloured mother, since his dad is white?
 
As long as they buy jerseys to burn, can't see a problem here. Stupid people gonna stupid, yo.

Even though he's an SA citizen? Does that kind of stuff also apply for BEE?

“Furthermore, the group of people who benefit from affirmative action will now be limited to persons who were citizens of South Africa before the democratic era (or would have been entitled to citizenship, but for the policies of apartheid), and to their descendants. This means that the employment of persons who are foreign nationals, or who have become citizens after April 1994, cannot assist employers to meet their affirmative action targets,” he explains.
