@Me2 aka Mama Shark (Comment 78) : it's a south african law that requires an explanation to the Minister of Sport every time a non-national is selected for a representative team. South African law will trump IRB regulations every time. SARU should, of course, have known about this and followed the correct procedure before Beast's first test... I believe it's all been sorted out now, though, so fortunately no harm done

@McLovin (Comment 77) : He has a residents permit AND a work permit BUT he is not an SA citizen BUT the rules say he can play for the Boks…and that is why he has played for them….now if he is found to be “ineligable”….where does that leave him??? He will he or will he not be able to play for Zim??? He has already played for SA???
confusing to say the least

@JarsonX (Insomniac) (Comment 75) : As far as I'm aware you don't need a passport to represent a country. You only need to have served out your three years residency. So if he is legally a citizen in SA he can play for the Boks. Passport or no passport.

Firstly, well done Tigers. Secondly, what the hell is this about Beast not really being elligable to play for SA, something about not having a SA passport It makes me want to say something that is against the rules

Ruan was poor…

Adams was poor…

Maku was less than average…

Earl played well…I know he plays well in games that don’t matter but he still played well…congrads Earl…

Fortunately this team will have a chance at redemption against Sarries.

Go well folks.

If the Boks win the tests, all will be forgiven and forgotten.
