'Rugby no place for blacks'

[lsuacner]

afrikaaners are mostly dutch right, well dutch people are the tallest 1.85m on average, that is taller than the average south african height of 1.69m,

you are caliming that everyone has equal ability to play rugby, when last did an chinese, or Japanese team win in rugby?

You might be a bit blinded by the subject but that link only takes in to account the average population as a whole (white and black mixed). Do you really think most black people are as tall and strongly built as white people who often look like they just swallowed a tree whole?

Depends which part of the world you talking about? Black Americans aren't small but black Africans tend to be yes...

Shame on you, Mr Stofile, for pulling the race card instead of doing what is best for rugby. I'm sorry you can't see beyond your own skin colour because you are a sore loser. There is no place in South Africa for people with your attitude. Rugby is a better sport in South Africa today because they did not choose you.

Some other more memorable quotes:

Hoskins, a so-called coloured man, said he was confused by Stofile's accusations that black people were not welcome in South African rugby.

Yet,

"When he (Stofile) championed Peter de Villiers as the new Springbok coach, he said it was (necessary) because he was a black person. So I am confused by the point. I know who I am and what I stand for and, as far as transformation in rugby is concerned, I am happy with the stand we have taken.

All this man is, is a bad loser. Peter de Villiers, yes a coloured, is called by Stofile as the first "Black" coach in SA rugby history. Yet when Stofile loses to another coloured man, Hoskins is labelled "White".

Typical attitude of politicians in this country - you're only "Black" when they say so!

Thats cos African Americans are mostly from Nigeria and the like. Have you ever seen a small Nigerian??

Nick Mallett's dubious genetical speculations ( "the Afrikaner cultural group just seems to produce some freakishly built people with a freakish genetic make-up." ) aside, not ALL whites are Afrikaners, old boy!

Well put. My Afrikaans is "dubious" at best.

A perfect illustration of why south africa's future is bleak at best.

IMHO, Stofile, as brother of the sports minister, should be ineligible for the position, or any other national sports admin position - too much potential for conflicts of interest.

Though, I guess you could argue that SA rugby missed an opportunity to ingratiate themselves with the govt by not electing Stofile
