Sydney – Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers, says it’s not his fault if there are not enough black rugby players in the Springbok rugby team.

De Villiers was livid after a national coalition of black rugby clubs slammed him for a lack of transformation at Springbok level.

Asad Bhorat, secretary of the Transformation and Anti-Racism Rugby Committee (TARC) called De Villiers the “ultimate traitor”.

The Bok coach responded by saying that he is not shying away from his responsibility of transforming the Springbok team. He however believes the problem should be addressed at Super14 level.

De Villiers response was: “I can only pick black players who have proved themselves consistently at Super 14 level. There are many talented black players who are unfortunately not being given enough opportunities by their franchises. It makes my job very difficult when there are not enough black players coming through the system. How can I pick them if the South African Super 14 coaches are not interested in selecting them?”

The Springboks only had four players of colour in the starting XV during the Tri-Nations – Bryan Habana, JP Pietersen and Odwa Ndungane on the wings, and Zimbabwean-born Beast Mtawarira at prop.

Bhorat said in a statement that De Villiers had let his “ego be inflated by his winning streak” and had silently become “submissive” to SA Rugby by fielding an almost all-white team.

Demographics....
 
:erm:

Maths is not his strong point now is it....

4/15 (26.6%) or 7/22 (31.8%) is hardly "no players of colour".

Just give it time you fscking morons! Look at how pathetic Chilliboy is playing currently after being destined for greatness. Pushing these players to hard will break them.
 
Asad Bhorat, go suck on a fat one. Preferably black and 12inches so you choke...
 
I hate this obsessive focus on transformation at the top level. If we had 50-70% black players in the springbok team, it would be the ultimate case of window dressing and a false view of transformation.

Bhorat and his cronies should start focussing on rugby transformation at the grass roots level. I come from a small town and to date the black communities there do not even have a decent field to play on, let alone coaches, gear, etc. The little kids there still run around passionately, and barefoot on dust fields riddled with thorns, with a patched up rugby ball that needs to be blown up after every try.

Give these kids a decent opportunity to play rugby, then you will transform the game and maybe the top level teams...you dunce !!! :mad:
 
Like Kompete said... Grass Roots!

Bhorat should be fired. A retard who can't realise that you can't choose a player for a team just because he is pink/black/yellow should be jobless or de-weeding my garden. Any idiot knows that to win you need the best players available and to get good black players you have to start with them at junior school level.

Clearly Bhorat isn't doing enough to encourage those of African descent to play rugby in school - so surely that makes him the traitor?

Besides, most Blacks would prefer to play soccer, its just the nature of the beast.
 
It does worry me that he as shifted blame to the Super 14 franchises. He should rather have placed it squarely at the feet of the national coalition of black rugby clubs. Let them rather bitch to parliament about needing funding.

Next worry is that our bench has passengers like Fatti Januarie and Chilli Boy. Woe betide we go in to another tournament and pick up injuries and we get exposed for our lack of depth.
 
Look at what happened when Snor decided to pick his own team.
Leave the bloody politics out of rugby!!!
Let the coaches choose the best team!
I wouldn't be satisfied if I knew I was only in the team cause of my skin colour!
Where is the self respect?
