This campaign will be presented to Mr Gosper, CEO of World Rugby

As rugby fans, many South Africans have become rightfully concerned with the imposition of racial quotas in South African rugby. In addition it is of concern that you as the governing body of World Rugby are either ignorant of, or are ignoring the worsening situation. We, the genuine rugby people of South Africa appeal to World Rugby to take this seriously and help put a stop to this racial discrimination in rugby in South Africa.

In addition we have attached an opinion from a distinguished legal expert in South African law. - Click here to see the link

We draw your attention to your BYE-LAW 3 (e) and (f) and BYE-LAW 14 below:
