what invokes racism is that it was used as a tool for segregation, all south african sport representatives in the apartheid era where called springboks, u would have springbok colours for gymnastics or athletics, and now all the sporting codes have changed, why should rugby be the exeption??? is it because for your typical afrikaner the springbok is the only thing they have left that still represents what an afrikaner is? coz we took that flag away and now we busy with the streets.. shouldnt everything that represents racism be removed from the non-racial society we trying to build
