Taking the bull by its horns

Johannesburg - Since Sanzar announced that 18 Super Rugby teams would be reduced to 15 next season, and that SA Rugby (two) and the Australian Rugby Union (one) must cull sides, the South African media took it as a foregone conclusion that the Kings and Cheetahs would go.

This was done without proper investigation and interrogation, which did not surprise me – that’s how lazy our media sometimes is. Without digging for more and finding different opinions, they oversimplified a complicated matter.

I believe that this is a golden opportunity for SA Rugby to re-examine and revamp what I consider to be a racist rugby landscape.
