Today is Rugby D-Day

That's right folks, more than a year of court rulings, two seperate judges looking into the affairs of SA Rugby and months and months of rangling, the vote for the president of SA Rugby happens this morning in Cape Town. I seriously don't give two hoots who wins. The media are making such a thing out of it but does it really matter? We, the SA public, have absolutely no say over anything that happens in rugby. The presidents vote but who votes for the presidents? The people in the unions, but who are in the unions? You and I? Nope, so move on.

Rugby will always have race issues, rugby will always have financial mismanagement and rugby will always be badly run. Some very clever man once said, "Absolute power corupts absolutely".

The amount of money is rugby is obscene. If one person has control of all of that, the what do you think will happen? You would, I would, so will anyone else.

So who will win today? Oregan Hoskins will. But look what he has done to rugby in KZN. The Sharks are the laughing stock of SA Rugby. They got beaten by the Cheetahs of all teams!!! Good luck SA Rugby.

On another note, there is a worrying stroy from IOL again. The Border Rugby Union went to court to stop thier president from voting in today's election. I kid you not. The people that voted the man into power went to court to stop him from voting. Don't you just love democracy???
