South Africa has come a long way when it comes to selling transformation as an ideal in the system of rugby development, and the ongoing evolutionary process of the sport shows an ability to transform in ways that are more uniting than alienating, writes Ongama Mtimka.
If you ask a boy at Grey High School to select their top players nationally to represent South Africa, you will get emerging stars from across the country, from Grey College to Paarl Gymnasium, Paul Roos to Queens College, or Graeme College to Wynberg Boys.
Chances are the squad will constitute a diverse range of black and white players who will be fit for purpose to do the job to perfection, much like the current Springboks.
