Just when you start getting down on the ARU and domestic Rugby issues, up pops another absolutely ridiculous situation in South Africa.
Little wonder we are seeing an acclerated exodous from there
In terms of actual players though, surely there are at least six that are good or nearly good enough already?
I certainly don't profess to be an expert on SA playing stocks but I would have though that the following would be a good start for those deserving consideration?
Eddie Andrews
Bryan Habana
Wayne Julies
Solly Tyibilika
Akona Ndungane
Odwa Ndungane
Breyton Paulse
Kabamba Floors
Chiliboy Ralepelle
Ricky Januarie

Axe threat for 'too white' Boks
From correspondents in Johannesburg
April 03, 2007
South Africa players face the threat of having their passports confiscated unless more black players are picked for this year's World Cup, a newspaper reported today.
The influential chairman of the country's parliamentary sports committee Butana Komphela warned that this "worst case scenario" would be necessary if there were not at least six players in the World Cup squad.
"In principle, we can't allow a team that does not reflect the South African picture, to represent our country," Komphela was quoted as saying in the Beeld newspaper.
"My fear is that rugby won't see the World Cup. We will try convincing the minister of home affairs to confiscate their passports if the team is not representative."
The relationship between the sport and the South Africa government has been strained for years due to the lack of black players in the national teams.
Komphela said a good start would be to have six black or coloured players in the team.
"Six out of thirteen is not representative but it's a good start," said Komphela.
The president of the South African Rugby Union Oregan Hoskins said Komphela's comments should not be seen as idle threats.
"We must take what he says seriously."

Perhaps our South African TWF Members may take up the challenge of naming a South African "All Blacks XV" (for want of a better name).
It would seem that there isn't that many Black Centres, Locks and Number 8's?

Was the wait worth it - Ya betta baby 
I don't see the rest of the world tacking action against that and refusing to play South Africa because they refuse to play white players even if they are good enough because there has to be a certain number of black players no matter what. That is absolute crap, those who deserve to be there should be.
