...Race quotas will return to South African rugby next season in a bid to produce more top-level black players, the national body announced Wednesday.

A South African Rugby Union (SARU) statement said seven players in each 22-man Vodacom Cup squad must be black, including at least two forwards.

And at least five of the black players must be in the starting line-up with the others on the bench....

This needs to be seen in the bigger picture. Whites have little left in South Africa that is culturally defining for them as a small and shrinking minority in their own country. Rugby has traditionally been an important part of the white identity in South Africa. Making them a small minority even in rugby is the longterm goal, as there is for example, no effort to set a quota for even one white player on soccer teams, a traditionally black sport in South Africa.

But remember like we are even told here every day "whites are bad"
