I abhor and condemn racism
Any racist fans should be banned for life.
Should a team be banned because of a racist fan?
Qualified for what? The rugby championship?
This is the rugby world cup thread
Why were you talking about yesterdays game so? That was the rugby championship?
Because Iām calling for south Africa to be kicked out
Heās all over the place. South Africa are the only African team in the Rugby Championship. Why did he come onto the Rugby World Cup 2019 Official Thread to take about events in Wellington yesterday morning, when thereās a dedicated Rugby Championship Thread? Bizarre.

Its an elite competition if they were good enough they would qualify. The rugby world delights in the talent of the Kenyan and Fijian rugby teams and there is no white faces there
Should a team be ejected from a competition because of a racist fan???
Yes,
Link up your request for Rovers to be banned there so mate. Id hate to think you were being inconsistent
TSG has them fairly dancing here. Itās a great point he makes, it would be dreadful if symbols of the apartheid era were to be on display in Japan next year and a message should be sent out that the flying of that flag is not welcome. Some further major racism issues in South African rugby in recent months that need addressing. The world cup has been marred for me already with the disqualification of a number of teams for playing ringers bit racism is obviously a much more serious issue.

Or your beloved italy
Are you going to clarify the basis for South Africa to be kicked out? Youāve already been asked this a few times? Iāve already clarified for you that the display of the pre 1994 flag of the Republic of South Africa is not a criminal offence in South Africa and such displays are in fact permitted under the freedom of speech and expression provisions in the South African constitution.
Direct us to the relevant provisions of what you are relying on? Is it in the IRB rulebook or the South African Rugby Union rulebook?
Agree 100%
Their racist fans
Can you confirm you demand Italyās removal from International competition also
Luckily for Eire soccer types, no such hang ups about the enjoyment of a soccer World Cup, the odd time Eire make it there.

If youāre referring to the flag in Wellington in yesterday, it appears that it was one fan. Thatās according to cricketer Pierre Joubert.
Not sure if he is downplaying it, did the other fans remove it
Ok this is interesting so youāre suggesting SA are ejected from the RWC but youāre not sure about the detail of the incident? Seems a bit hasty?
