SA still has a 2 players per state quota at domestic level, but no longer at Test level.

I can understand this, as it's positive discrimination in an attempt to reform the legacy of apartheid. I expect it to be phased out as it has been at Test level.

This discrimination, on the other hand is nothing except negative and racist and would not be allowed anywhere else - can you imagine what would happen if someone in the UK decreed that they weren't interested in black players.

Get them out, now.
