These shallow “think pieces” are so tired & lame. Just counting black & white Springbok players as the sole metric is the laziest form of transformation commentary. This is just bandwagon opinions masquerading as insight. Community development is not a challenge unique to rugby
South Africa cannot continue to have a predominantly white national rugby team when about 80% of its population is black, writes Jacob Kudzayi Mutisi tinyurl.com/45sbsvy2

The comments and theories being thrown around on here about AKA and Tibz murders is revealing another hypothesis as to why youth unemployment in SA is so high. Because wow 🤦🏾‍♂️

You may want to update this.
Temba Bavuma showed zero tactical awareness here. He had a massive lapse in judgment at a crucial moment. Instead of declaring 40 minutes earlier to chase four quick wickets before the close of play, he chose to chase a personal milestone. He completely forgot that we are severely pressed for time. Now, Australia will comfortably bat this out for a draw, and then they'll end up beating us when we get to Cape Town.

Do news outlets genuinely believe that the clickbait and deliberately misleading readers is good for business and their brands? @SARugbymag

Never heard of Mark Watson before the #GreatestRivalryTour but he quickly became my favourite form of entertainment 😆

My guy is so hurt, he is resorting to playing fantasy rugby now 🤣🤣🤣
The “All Blacks teams of the past would destroy this Springbok team” argument is ridiculous. @martindevlinNZ You can’t keep living in the past every time the current All Blacks fall short. Great teams from history deserve respect, but they don’t get to play today. The current Springboks do. And they’ve earned the right to be judged on what they’ve actually achieved, not someone’s nostalgia. Mark, your takes are even worse than your best friend Ben Smith’s. 😂 @Springboks @AllBlacks @WorldRugby

Please keep an eye on Henry Pollock during this passage of play. There isn’t a lazier player on the pitch than this boy. All he does is rest at the breakdown and giveaway penalties. I’ve seen more effort in this celebrations than at the ruck.

If it wasn’t for the Springboks and their fans, you wouldn’t even have a career right now 🤫
The loss of Tony Brown could send Springboks rugby back to the stone ages. Since his arrival in 2024 they have won 24 Tests, only losing 4. Never before had they won a real Rugby Championship, and they immediately went back-to-back. Erasmus has been a sub-60 percent guy without him. They used to push the ‘DNA’ of South African rugby as the box kick. Brown transformed them into a team that could actually score 40 points regularly. He could go down as the man who saved the world from kick, pray & hope rugby. The loss of Brown will ultimately hurt Sacha F-M. They found a real No.10 who has world’s best written all over him. And it might all come undone as the New Zealand IP leaves the door with Brown. Sacha could watching his No.9 hammer the night sky 45 times a game in 2028.

Not a single person from South Africa villages gives a rat’s ass about Starlink. The lady doth protest too much, methinks 🤔

White males make up 3.5% of the SA population yet I see no complaint about the index in Management positions.
Under South Africa's Employment Equity policy, every employer with more than 50 staff must comply with RACIAL quota targets set by the government. Under these rules, in roles such as "skilled technicians" white men are limited to a quota of just 4.1%. Blatant discrimination.

While we're not heading to 'Day Zero,' we are in the early warning phase, the window to avoid water restrictions before November is narrowing. Our dam levels are at 49.2% and usage is above target. Let's reduce our water use now to avoid potential restrictions later this year.
