They didn't qualify because they don't play the game in South Africa.

| Listen to me...just listen....right...are you listening?
There has always been websites claiming to be from a South African Rugby league competition. They go back to when I first got online in 1995.....always been a website claiming the game exists there.
It doesnt.
These sites go up....they look all shiney and new.....nothing happens to them for an age.....then get taken down.....then a new one goes up, all shiney and new......
Notice how none of the older posters here are arguing with me? Its because they have also seen this all before and they know I'm right.
Look, they were not allowed to qualify for the World Cup because they don't play the game there. Have you seen a list of the teams who were allowed to qualify ahead of South Africa?
They don't play Rugby League there.

| There might have been a lot of hot air come out of SA in the past but there is little doubt that RL is played there now. A number of touring teams have played there this year already (the Australian Universities team is there right now) so we know for a fact that the game is played there to some extent. The current website is not just a list of clubs but also has results, photos etc and is updated more regularly than in the past. And if you look on facebook there are even an SARL group. The only reason SA didn't play in the WC qualifiers was because they chose not to for financial reasons. They were grouped with the USA, West Indies and Japan and the games were scheduled for the east coast of the US. Both SA and the Windies chose not to go because they didn't have the cash, or believed what cahs they had was better sent elsewhere. The RLIF have even made a point of mentioning SA as a country with great potential and from that you can expect that they will get some financial support as a result of the WC profits.

| Oh geez, this ones a true believer.
Anyway people, as I said, no reason to lie. But we have done this South African thing to death and the fact is, the game doesn't exist over there until it needs to for some financial reason.

So now it does exist. We're making progress then.

| Rugby League doesnt exist in South Africa. They dont have leagues, teams administrators or players.
When there is a bit of cash to be had, some union types put their hands up for a game....and thats it.
Rugby League does not exist in South Africa.

| When two teams of 13 players in South Africa play a game of football in which the ball is played between the legs and with six tackles then rugby league exists there. It's a bit like denying the holocaust or the moon landing or something. All the evidence proves it but some people just won't accept it simply because they don't want to.

| Am I the only one who doesnt care if the people playing RL only do so when money is available, or the people playing it are usually RU players. As long as its been played I couldnt care less if it was played by Death Row convicts and the Man of the Match got a 1k bonus and was let go

I'm sure i saw the Rhinos play Lancs at Leigh in October.

| The who play what?
You mean you saw a bunch of South African union player getting a trip to England on the back of Rugby League?
Um...HELLO.....that's what they do.
And to the idiot that doesn't care about anything as long as some union players have a one of game of League every few years....are you stupid?

| Stop deluding yourself in your belief that they do not play League in South Africa and just admit your wrong.

Union players playing League is better than no one playing league. If it wasnt for Union players playing league here in the UK then the current expansion of the game at grassroots level would have been severely hindered or may not have taken off at all.
While the chances of league taking off to some extent in SA may be very limited, at least if some people playing the game whether they are Union players or not, it gives the game some sort of chance at least
