And that Saffie playing for NZ, yet another consequence of quotas at the top level, like SA can afford to surrender players to other test nations!
I have no problem with quotas at lower levels, domestic and suburban sport, fine, but at elite level you should earn a spot not be rewarded a spot!
I wonder if AFL will eventually have indigenous quotas, perhaps the Filth first based on recent events!
Indigenous players are seriously over-represented in the AFL. Quotas would have to be for other ethnic groups
On the other hand, Indigenous players are seriously under-represented in cricket ...
Giving youngsters of all persuasions an equal opportunity and encouragement to take part in sport would be far more effective than any quota system.
