READER LETTER | A response to: Privilege still dominates rugby | by Joe Soap*

about rugby culture in South Africa to which there are some broad truths. It is no question that rugby is still a predominantly white sport, and as South Africans we know that there is so much more to do, so many more hills to climb, in order for the sport to reach the heights of inclusivity set by the vision of the late Nelson Mandela.

In this response, I will not address the"bomb squad" non-issue. Makazole Mapimpi has clarified what happened and Xola Ntshinga's response, which sums up the position taken in this article, can be foundMazwi's article further highlights that racial intolerance in rugby is still prevalent to this day as"skilled African players are mostly played out of position just to frustrate them".

To elaborate further, Mazwi's position assumes that coaches are intentionally and maliciously going out of their way to frustrate black players. I truly doubt there is a professional or semi-professional coach in South Africa who would deliberately sabotage their team and, as a result, their career , in order to simply frustrate a black player.

It's quite obvious that it's a MOERSE honor to play in the Springboks jersey... what a privilege that must be for any Rugby player.

Thanks for this dibble from Mazwi..99% horse💩..complaining because they speak Afrikaans..that's ridiculous ..

players are played out of position is due to bad coaches with even worse vision. No racial undertones there just pure incompetence but if you keep looking through life with racial intolerance and hate you start to develop a deep mental psychosis. There is no conspiracy here folks
