Rugby News: Jake’s “racist” XV for Wales Test slammed by ex-Bok

Ollie believes Jake has good intentions, but he would be following a “racist policy”.

Former Springbok coach, Jake White has caused a bit a stir in rugby circle’s by suggesting that incumbent, Rassie Erasmus put out a predominantly black team in his first Test in charge, and this did not go down well with former prop, Ollie Le Roux.

The Boks take on Wales in a once-off Test in Washington DC on Saturday, 2 June, with a three-match series against England beginning a week later – and White feels this makes for a perfect opportunity for Erasmus to make some headway towards achieving some transformation targets.

Jake White urges Rassie Erasmus to be racist and pick black players against Wales

Former Springboks coach, Jake White feels the upcoming once-off Test against Wales is the perfect opportunity for the side’s new mentor, Rassie Erasmus to signal a commitment to transformation.

The Boks take on the Dragons in a historical match, that will be played at Washington DC on 2 June, a week before they are set to take on world number two, England, in a three-match series.

The Test falls outside World Rugby’s official international window, which could pose problems for Erasmus if he’s looking to strengthen his squad with overseas-based players, and White feels he can work around this by selecting a predominantly black team – also getting a head start towards the 50% quota that will be calculated across the season.
