| I guess George Gregan was just a white man blacked up? How many Polynesian descent players are there in S14? Surely if it was a racist sport they wouldn't have had a coloured capt for all those years and they wouldn't be letting islanders play the game? Sometimes the BS on here to have a dig at another code is like being back in the school playground (and I hate RU~!)

Quote Gijou="Gijou"EA,
I think you are being generous with your inclusion of the word "borderline".
We of course also have a far better record than soccer and RU in England on this score (ie. racial inclusion).
A black man, the wonderful Clive Sullivan, captained the GB rugby league team in the 1972 World Cup (and helped win the Final - on countback! - in the end with his cracking try). Jason Robinson only did the same for English union within the last 5 years or so.

Where did Billy Whiz come from?

Didn't Jeremy Guscott play Yawnion for England before Robinson

Yeah, that's probably it and that one player proves that Aboriginal and PI players are embraced by Rugby Union in Australia, because George Gregan played for Australia.
<sarcasm>Even though George was born in Zambia, your sentence isn't stupid.</sarcasm>

We're talking about Aboriginal or TI players and you're barking about George Gregan and PI players.
Moron.
Is there anything discussed here that you have any idea about?
Anything?

If only Gregan was A or TSI you might have a point.
Oh...you don't?
Wow. Knock me down with the feather duster.

Why don't you read my posts again before chiming in with nothing?

| Gee these threads are great for bringing out the rah rah sympathisers.
Shame they've got nothing between them.

The first Aboriginal to play Rugby Union for Australia was a bloke named Lloyd McDermott, in the 1960's.
There are only 7 to have played Rugby Union for Australia, ever.
Embarrassing.
But if you ask the ARU, they will probably claim 40 or 50. They have a habit of re-writing history.
On page 6 of the following they claim about Mark Ella...
aru.rugby.com.au/verve/_resource ... a_Bros.pdf
"In 1980 he played in his first test for Australia and up to 1984 played a total of twenty-five tests, ten as captain, [size=150 becoming the first Aboriginal in any sport to captain Australia.[/size"
According to Rugby Union, Arthur Beetson never existed.

The biggest revisionists in Australian sport. No doubt.
If you have any doubt, read something by Peter Jenkins some time.
Australian Union = white bread
Something to be very proud of...Not.
You standing for the anthem, Serge?

Wouldn't have a clue if he captained England. To think, you know more about Union than us. Dally, are we now meant to set fire to this geezer as a result?
Didn't read your post properly. Will endeavour to do so in future.
As for moron. Showing your intelligence somewhat, well done.

Good. You do that...
Read some Sun Tzu sometime and the first bit will start to make more sense to your little brain.
