do they chose the players on an scientific method, height, history, # of tries, speed?
or besides this case is there any evidence of racism in rugby?
they should have a scientific method of choosing players, and this must be verified by the government, this should not have anything to do with colour.
If their are little or no blacks who fit the profile, then that be that.
Dont be silly, scientific method!!!!
All players are monitored scientifically to some degree or another.
What sets the criteria for team selection is however the coach and what he/she believes he/she requires of a specific individual in a specific position.
Do you want tall jumpers,fast loose forwards or enforcers as a mere example.
Stofile came to the defence of De Villiers during the dispute over final say in team selection in the SARU constitution and his skin colour.
Now it seems that De Villiers is no longer black enough, nor is Hoskins (both being coloured) now that Hoskins has beaten him in the polls.
All of a sudden there is no place for blacks in SA rugby, according to one of the infamous Stofile brothers all of a sudden.
He is a frikkin racist, no doubt whatsoever. He provides the proof himself the idiot.
edit:
As for Mallet, I find it hard to believe that his comment is false or even misguided. Afrikaners breed fantastic rugby players, it is known the world over and has nothing to do with racism. Heart and commitment and never say die attitude. Freekish even as Mallet put it.
No different from the way the Islanders produce fantastic athletes for almost every code of rugby which noone denies.
