SA Rugby have called for an urgent workshop to discuss the rate of transformation in the country, Afrikaans Sunday newspaper Sondag reported.

The decision was made at the rugby body’s Management Committee meeting on Friday after the item was put onto the agenda and a hefty debate ensued.

The newspaper reported that there are growing worries about the rate of transformation within rugby structures and the fact that so many talented young black and coloured rugby players don’t seem to make it through to the senior ranks of the game.
