Jake should quit, parliament chairman says
Springbok rugby coach Jake White should quit, the chairman of parliament's portfolio committee on sport said on Tuesday.SABC radio reported Butana Komphela as citing White's failure to select black rugby players to play for South Africa in last Saturday's Test against France, which the Springboks lost.Komphela accused White of not being committed to the South African Rugby Association's transformation charter."As he is saying he wants to go, we are saying as the committee in parliament, that he could have left yesterday so that progress could be made in rugby in this country."Komphela said White had been "stifling" the inclusion of black players into the team with the rationale that the existing team was already a "winning team".
"Its not about a winning team. Its about a winning team that has the support of the country behind it," said Komphela."We are battling, to make rugby to be a sport that has the general support of this country." - link
