Rugby Explorer - South Africa With Jim Hamilton | Sports Documentary | RugbyPass

[@theultimatesharpshooter6734]

Imagine if those under privledged guys had the same facilities as those powerhouse rugby schools. South Africa would really be an unstoppable force in rugby.

[@douglasherron7534]

Same story in most countries... Top players tend to start at a small selection of schools with the facilities and staff who can give them the best start. The vast majority of players never get that chance so who knows how many potential stars never progress beyond their local clubs?

[@chrisvangass8417]

Well said

[@zaques2]

So many countries would flourish. e.g. Kenya, Uganda and many other African countries. If the west Africans could embrace this sport, the world would be in trouble.

[@douglasherron7534]

@@zaques2 Kenya and Uganda are in East Africa.... and both play rugby. The Kenyans have an excellent Sevens side that competes in the World 7's series.

[@zaques2]

@@douglasherron7534 Yeah, that's true. I'm actually Kenyan and a huge rugby fan. What I was highlighting was the fact that facilities like the ones in South African power house rugby schools are not prevalent (Including top tier Kenyan Clubs). A lot of talent is lost due to that. I find it really sad.

Rugby and rugby clubs in coloured areas are rich with history, they might not have played or appeared in top clubs or the national time at the time but the culture and style of rugby has passed down for generations.

Cheers from rural Oklahoma, USA- Happy New Year Rugby mates 🙌

Nice feature of Port Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape - makes us South African's proud of our land. Jim, what happened to meeting Eben and his brothers?

[@KennyTseraha-xg6gu]

Coming from an overseas country but a huge fan of the Springboks, I reckon if the government improve some playing fields, I tell you what, it will boost the young generations playing abilities more and it may also have some impact or changes in the social aspects of things as well. With respect. Nice video. Thanks for that. Cheers. Regards from Bougainville Island, PNG.

I Enjoyed and must say that there is a Raw honesty in this Doc that I appreciate very much. With Love from South africa. Thank you for shedding a little light. ps.I hope to one day see my people up and see a equal start that in my eyes would make the world an infinitely better place.

[@craigflixchill]

The part about NZ playing at Cape Town or P.E is true. SARU stopped hosting games there because of the massive support for NZ where it would feel like a home game for them. The last time being in 2017 and before that in '08. NZ Super Rugby teams enjoy more support than the Stormers too at times.

[@StevenBenjaminAuthor]

No dude, I've never been to a stormers game when there were more NZ supporters. My Dad supported the All Blacks, but was a through and though WP man. I remember watching the Crusaders ,during a poor season for the Stormers, but it was one of the few games we won, Dan Carter had an off day, and was heckled quite a bit

[@gyri777]

Such a beautiful country we life in. Next time you should visit the inland provinces as well, they are very different from the Cape provinces

[@SafferPOV]

Excellent. Interesting to hear why the Cape Crusaders still support NZ teams - "Kolisi isn't from our schools" but he's right though, if your don't come from the right rugby schools and universities, and through the provincial systems, it is very difficult for a young player to break through. Almost impossible to break through from a non-varsity club

36:20 kolisi came from very poor circumstances it is not true to say he was in a white school

[@Karl3Lang]

He went to Gray High school one of the most elite rugby schools in SA that is how he got selected.

[@kellyrobbins8255]

He was discovered first - playing for the township club side got him into junior tournament where he was spotted by one of the Grey High coaches. Those schools offer a tremendously stable grounding for young sportsman but you don't have to go to an elite school to be selected. PSDT when to a very far from elite farm school in the Cape - so the Cape Crusader argument is beginning to lose traction these days but everybody is free to choose whom they'd like to support.
