South Africans have a passionate following, although they remain largely divided along ethnic lines. Soccer, Cricket and Rugby are the most popular sports.

Rugby is the most popular sport in South Africa. The national rugby team is nicknamed The Springboks. South Africa hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup, the first one hosted in Africa.

Cricket is traditionally the popular sport among the white British diaspora and Indian South African communities, although it is now followed by members of all races. The national cricket team is nicknamed The Proteas.

Soccer has historically been particularly popular amongst persons of African descent, though this tendency, too, has changed over the years . The South Africa national soccer team, Bafana Bafana, has not enjoyed considerable success since the early 20th Century.

But anyway... probably depends who you talk to a bit like afl Australian Rules and rl.

You'll need a bit more than a quick google search to get the facts Fred. I suspect proper research is beyond you.

I agree Leeroy. There is a stadium ready to go and there must be a training base and infrastructure that the Force have been using. The problem is the NRL have said they won't entertain expansion during the term of the current broadcast deal. And the broadcasters won't chip in more money for a one team expansion as it won't create any more games.

That being said it would give the game a positive feel if the NRL took a leap of faith and resurrected the Reds or equivalent.

That's the point... I'm not engaged in this apparent angst you harbour. Not sure where it comes from or how it was born.

Yep spot on, Union leaving just made the door appear bigger for league to enter..
Great if they announced expansion for Ipswich / Perth and said you will be entering in 2020.

Agree. Nrl have to take some risks. They are already so far behind the eight ball but have shown they can make up ground quickly when they do take risks that pay off. They have to be prepared to fail to go forward or else they will stagnate in pockets of nsw and qld

I was going to write in my post ..,, "and enter Terry stage left" but took it out. Yet on cue here you are lol


But anyway ..,,.,. Terry, I was referring to the afl being the biggest sporting organisation in the country . Nothing more nothing less and that the nrl has always been behind the 9 ball when it came to developing the game. Many nrl fans would agree with this and it is hardly a massive observation.


But I'll be honest that I knew you would respond as such ... so predictable.

The biggest sporting organisation in half a country with one of the smallest populations in the world. While simply non existant anywhere else. Kind of puts things in perspective hey. :lol: :lol:

True to some extent but would say afl is the biggest sporting organisation in the country and als has a footprint of grass roots across the country ... as too does soccer but afl dawgs soccer as an organisation.

good call to cut the force. Unfortunately they have under preformed for so long. However it's sad to see so many lose their jobs but there will be plenty of options available for them in Japan or Europe.
