Two Black African players in the whole 23. TWO. The captain and the loosehead. In 2026. And people want to act shocked that the team looked like it was missing something.
SA Rugby promised 12 by 2019. Paris got 6.

We are not saying the count lost the game. A win would not have fixed it either. Our count from the team sheet, not an SA Rugby audit. Every name and the full workings: The France article is live: https://t.co/AwzzFU9Rhs

Funny how transformation is "risky" until the safe team is 14 points down at the break. Rassie had 16 players of colour in the squad and trusted six of them in Paris. How did the safe option go? 🇿🇦🇫🇷

South Africa will spend this week on the lineout, the first half and the bench. Fair enough, 21–7 down at the break deserves questions. But the country reviews a two-point loss inside 48 hours and has let a 23.9-point gap run for seven years.

Nobody here is saying drop a single player from this 23. We are saying a great team and an unmet target can be the same team, and somebody at SA Rugby should explain how.

"Pick on merit," they said. Merit just lost to France by two. Maybe merit needs to look at who it left in a tracksuit. 😭
6 of 23. That's the number. Count it yourself.

17 white players in the 23 and we were 21–7 down at half-time. Sixteen players of colour on tour and ten of them watched from the stands. Tell me again this was the best team available. 🇿🇦

THE SPRINGBOKS LOST BY 2 IN PARIS. THEY ARE 6 SHORT OF THEIR OWN TARGET. 🇿🇦🇫🇷

France 21, South Africa 19. Of the 23 Boks at the Stade de France, six were Generic Black players: Siya Kolisi, Ox Nché and four Coloured players. Seventeen were white, 73.9%.

SA Rugby's own plan said 12 by 2019. It is 2026.

The scoreboard gets a press conference. Who answers for the Transformation Targets number? 👇

A GREAT SPRINGBOK TEAM. A GREAT CAPTAIN. AN UNFINISHED PROMISE. 🇿🇦🇫🇷

Siya Kolisi led the Boks into Paris and lost by two, 21–19. Behind him, 6 of the 23 were Generic Black players.

SA Rugby's own target needed 12. This team is exactly halfway.

One defeat gets fixed by next Saturday. How long does the transformation targets one take?

@Springboks It’s movie time!!🍿🍿

[ScrumAtMe Clips @clipzScrumAtMe]

Siya said "once the whistle goes, then it's game time" and I ran through a wall. 🇿🇦🇫🇷
The captain's been calm all week and that's what scares me for France. Friday the 13th at Stade de France can't come fast enough.
