South Africa’s rugby team has to have a certain number of blacks on it, irrespective of their quality. Because of racism.

Victor Matfield urged the boys to play “a lazy game” against the All Blacks so they could pressure the SARB into a salary increase.
That is exactly what the Springboks did yesterday. It was a protest, but not for a salary increase, rather a protest against quota players. Yesterday they showed the world what would happen to the Boks if you let quota players play.
Therefore I have to commend the Boks. I congratulate them. Well done men!
I have never been so proud of the Boks in a long time. At long last they stood up for their principles and the Springbok Jersey. They have joined the resistance last night.
Last night the Springboks set the example. We should all do what the Springboks did. Let the quota players play and fuck up. Stop supporting them. Stop propping them up and doing their jobs for them. Let them fail. Let the system collapse. Only then can we have a normal society again and play normal Rugby.

I don’t watch cricket. Sad actually. I used to love cricket. Loved playing it and loved watching it, but since Hansie Cronjé got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar I stopped watching it completely. Never watched a game since. I mean what is the point? You never know for sure if the game is fixed or not.
It was the same with that game the blacks play in SA, Soccer or football as the Brits call it. Ever since Bruce Grobelaar got caught match fixing, I stopped watching the game. Boxing is the same. As long as that corrupt ex convict Don King is alive I will never watch boxing again.
I thought that Rugby was above corruption until I read about Victor Matfield urging the boys to play “a lazy game” against the All Blacks so they could pressure the SARB into a salary increase for the players.Needless to say, I do not support the Springboks at all anymore, but the ultimate reason why I cannot, and will not support ANY South African team anymore is because of the racist quota system practiced by the ANC.
They want “transformation” in sport and teams to represent the demography of the country, but are going about it arse about face. You transform from the bottom up not from the top down. You ensure that sports are practiced from primary school level upwards. If the ANC just did that when they came to power in 1994, they would now have had a huge pool of talented black players to choose from, but they didn’t.
Instead what they did for the last 21 years was to pick mediocre players in every sport from Netball to Cricket and Rugby so that South Africa is always playing with a handicap. We can never put our strongest team, chosen on merit, into the field. People who are third or fifth best in their positions are chosen over the best simply because they are black and the best player is white.
This is blatant racism and racism is the exact reason why the World banned us from international sports and the Olympic Games during Apartheid. Why does the world not ban South Africa now? Let me guess. Is it, because racism against whites is approved by the hypocritical World Powers?
Last weekend Australia won the Cricket World Cup. I hope they enjoy their win.
Problem is that no team can ever celebrate a victory over the Proteas or the Springboks as long as players are chosen on skin colour instead of merit. In fact it is disrespectful and slaps in the faces of teams like New Zealand and the Australians to not put your best team up against them. The ANC is basically telling them that they are not worthy of playing against our best so we will put our second best up against them. If I was Australia or the Kiwis I would refuse to play against them.
Racial quotas turned South African sports and dare I say world sports into a farce. It is a goddamn joke.
Look at this. In last week’s semifinal Vernon Phillander was off form and injured, but forced to play by Cricket SA‘s board. Phillander was chosen over the better player Kyle Abbott simply because Abbott is white and Phillander coloured.
