South African Rugby

I'm sure everyone has heard about the President of South Africa introducing a new law which dictates there must be at least 10 black players in the Springboks starting XV.

I've heard that it may be enforced as early as next week, pretty much throwing away any chance they could have had at the World Cup.

what does everyone think about this? in my opinion this ANTI(?) racism movement emphasizes the problem that they are trying to combat all the while ruining any immediate sporting aspirations (i think there is one in september :p)

The National coach Jake White [no pun intended] will also be replaced by the country's first black Springbok coach - Peter de Villiers.

Far from impressive in beating I r i s h provincial side Connacht in Galway, Ireland, on Tuesday. Connacht are said to be the weakest of the 4 I r i s h teams. They won only 4 games from 20 in last season's Celtic League.

With these two teams out The Springboks in a great position!

Well, that'll do me!

I gave England a good chance of beating Australia and I did back them at the very generous odds. But I didn't expect France to beat NZ as well! Got a big shock when I woke up and heard the news.

So we're left with the Boers and the bores.
