Default Boycott South African rugby in 2008

In 2008 south african rugby will be 'transformed'; ie they're going to employ massive discrimination against whites, coloureds and indians to make the team majority black. Here are some of the changes taking place:

1. The fittingly named Jake White is being replaced by a black coach, infact his job has already been advertised even while his team is training for the Final. (standard practice for replacing a white person in SA btw, advertising their job while they still have it).

2. The springbok emblem that they have used since I believe 1906 is being replaced as it's considered a 'white' symbol.

3. !0 of the starting 15 in 2008 are set to be black, regardless of merit. AFAIK this 10 will not include Coloureds (like Habana) or Indians.

This world cup final will be historic. The last time a team called the Springboks play, with players picked mainly on merit. It is the end of an era. This will be the last time I watch an RSA rugby team and I urge you to do the same and boycott racist sport

That really sucks, I have to say. I think the IRB needs to intervene one way or another.

I honestly can't see them changing fuck all considering they are now the holders of the World Cup. The combination they have seems to work, why change a good thing? yeah??Confused

Africa doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense unfortunately:(

Did anyone else catch that springbok full on crying on Jake Whites shoulder and White consoling him? I think it may have been Steyn...

They should just form an 'Afrika' team.
