I remember have a healthy discussion with my mates 15 years ago about the unlimited potential of black rugby players out there. Everybody hated the idea of quota. I get it. But every South African rugby fan hated the idea of a Fijian, Tongan and Samoan footballer playing for the All Blacks. Yes, they don't understand the Aotearoa history. Now the landscape is totally different, fans complain about their favourite player not being selected (no matter the race). Quotas is not even an issue anymore.  

Fans want fairness in sport, but they also understand that different player bring a different aspect to the game. It strengthens a team in a way that is difficult to quantify. Save for this weekend lol, no Springbok fan wants to go back to the team (style of play) of 20 year ago.

When it comes to the Nix fans we know the different dynamic (style of play) that a Roy Krishna or a Sarpreet Singh brings to a game. Never mind what a Brazilian or a Spaniard in the midfield brings to a game. If the Nix continue to struggle maybe fans will say to the management to bring in such players into the 1st team
