IT was with a heavy heart that I read comments from SA rugby president Mark Alexander this week dismissing the possibility of South Africa ever bidding to host the Rugby World Cup again, although his reasons are logical and hard to argue against.
The reality is that despite the Mandela-inspired miracle we witnessed, modern-day SA is a third-world
African country with huge social, health, economic, political and racial issues that still need urgent attention, and that a future World Cup could only be successfully staged with massive government support. Money that could, in all honesty...
