Fitness comes with being professional athletes. Hopefully a little more funding for the ladies, like a local womens competition and broadcasting. It will also help them on some of the technical aspects. The slipped a few tackles from poor techniques. Coaching can fix. But I fear a long way off without investment.

@@henkstols9326 Not at all. Fact of the matter is, there's always been political interference in sport, going right back to when black people were not allowed to play international rugby. The aforementioned brigade speaks as though the pre 90s Springboks were not shaped by politics, while bitching about so called "quotas". The whole Springboks team before the 2000s, was a quota team by those standards. If it wasn't a problem then, shut up about it now.

[@aphiwemrwebi9962]

@@henkstols9326 Two wrongs? The mentality that reform, redress and correction are wrong, is one of ignorance. Y'all are bent on INCLUSIONARY quota systems being revenge when in reality, they seek balance. They're there to ensure that talented players of colour get the fair shake that EXCLUSIONARY quotas denied them of. My prior point was the hypocrisy of seeing political involvement being wrong now that it doesn't benefit your mates. That doesn't necessarily mean that it is in fact wrong, that's just your opinion. I support present quotas because they facilitate the promotion of previously disadvantaged individuals rather than simply stifling individuals because a certain group of people feels like they're better.

As a former player, it hurts when us here in Fiji when you belittle them. We live in a messed up world but the least we could do is love and support them. Rugby in this country is about survival. For some of those ladies it is about putting food on the table for their families. They make a living out of Rugby. What could be more honorable than that?

@Reneilwe Mphahlele correct. However they are the only one. Every other sport is far from the champions of anything. The 7 aside where doing very good till all teams returned after lock down. You can not say a system works when only one team achieves success. The soccer is a very good example of this. They have only ever won a cup once and that was in the days that players and coaching staff were there because of their ability and nothing else.

You brought up the point our National Rugby team is world champion so lets look at them. We have players playing for other countries because they can not gain entry into our own national team yet they are better skilled than the player in the team in the same position. I can truly see a reason for the stipulations in the passed but we should now be at the point were ability is the only reason a player makes the team.

Its also a case of all the teams having players chosen for other reasons other than there playing abilities. They are just lucky that they have a bigger pool to choose from and therefore land up with better players. This point is made very clear when they suddenly play against overseas teams and then see just how bad these players actually are.

One needs to apply rigorous the Qualität and Qualifikation measures to have the player material at hand to compete at the level one envisages….without this application on merit and not on prefential prescibed quotas… thats a recipe for desaster…. Only the best, able, fit, skilled and Intelligenz, with know how plays, others can qualify but at sélection time the criteria should rule and not majority political aspirations!!!!! Whats good for political aspirations are not necessary good for sporting Material…..

We have better players than those representing and shaming the country at the WRWC. This platform doesn't belong to you, so you have absolutely no qualification to tell me to bugger off.
