With the Springboks in the final, and it looking like they are most probably going to win. What do you think about the fact that according to SAfrica's minister of foreign affairs (forget the fool's name), the current Springbok team is the last team to be chosen purely on merit, "players chosen on merit alone shouldn't mean white players only".
The South African Government's argument is that an all white team is not 'representative' of South Africans. But surely it makes sense that if we can send a team of our best players to play in the world cup (irrespective of race), which just happens to form one of the best teams in the world right now; that that team is the best team to represent our country? Hence representing every kind of South African.
What do you as a non south african rugby fan, think about that?
