The Transformation and Anti-Racism Rugby Committee (TARC), a national coalition of black rugby clubs and its supporters , wishes to announce its campaign against racism and the lack of transformation in South African Rugby. TARC calls for a boycott of the three upcoming Tri-Nations test matches involving the Springboks and will be staging a protest before the match between the Springboks and the All Blacks. TARC wishes to highlight the unacceptable levels of racism prevalent in rugby in
TARC demands that racism be removed from rugby as a priority and further demands that meaningful initiatives to transform rugby be instigated with the involvement of black clubs with immediate effect. Black South Africans cannot continue to support the South African team without these demands being met and TARC will continue on this road of mass action until these demands are met.

We are not going to win the race war in rugby. Black (PDI) rugby players and coaches are not welcome in the current establishment unless they suck up to the masters. Lip service is paid. When one speak up they are excluded and cast out. I know this from experience.
