Imagine if those under privledged guys had the same facilities as those powerhouse rugby schools. South Africa would really be an unstoppable force in rugby.

@douglasherron7534 3 жыл бұрын

Same story in most countries... Top players tend to start at a small selection of schools with the facilities and staff who can give them the best start. The vast majority of players never get that chance so who knows how many potential stars never progress beyond their local clubs?

@@douglasherron7534 Yeah, that's true. I'm actually Kenyan and a huge rugby fan. What I was highlighting was the fact that facilities like the ones in South African power house rugby schools are not prevalent (Including top tier Kenyan Clubs). A lot of talent is lost due to that. I find it really sad.

The part about NZ playing at Cape Town or P.E is true. SARU stopped hosting games there because of the massive support for NZ where it would feel like a home game for them. The last time being in 2017 and before that in '08. NZ Super Rugby teams enjoy more support than the Stormers too at times.

@StevenBenjaminAuthor 6 ай бұрын

No dude, I've never been to a stormers game when there were more NZ supporters. My Dad supported the All Blacks, but was a through and though WP man. I remember watching the Crusaders ,during a poor season for the Stormers, but it was one of the few games we won, Dan Carter had an off day, and was heckled quite a bit

@SafferPOV 3 жыл бұрын

Excellent. Interesting to hear why the Cape Crusaders still support NZ teams - "Kolisi isn't from our schools" but he's right though, if your don't come from the right rugby schools and universities, and through the provincial systems, it is very difficult for a young player to break through. Almost impossible to break through from a non-varsity club

He was discovered first - playing for the township club side got him into junior tournament where he was spotted by one of the Grey High coaches. Those schools offer a tremendously stable grounding for young sportsman but you don't have to go to an elite school to be selected. PSDT when to a very far from elite farm school in the Cape - so the Cape Crusader argument is beginning to lose traction these days but everybody is free to choose whom they'd like to support.
