I think it needs to go ahead. It needs to give Brian a fair trial and a chance to clear his name. |
I think rugby people could have taken such a decision and they still can. |
I was approached in the last two weeks to make myself available. I'm not saying I've got all the answers and if I'm elected, I will have a humble approach. |
I was shocked when Harold told me about it. An incumbent shouldn't be able to make promises like that to try and win votes... To say he would make sure of R3m in grants and a French Test is ludicrous. |
It is not true at all. |
It might be early days to count widespread support and in rugby there are no guarantees, but the early indications are positive. |
It was a good meeting. We resolved to take all our decisions based on what is in the best interests of rugby. There must be no personal agendas. That is how we will work with all the stakeholders of rugby, including the government and sponsors. |
One has to ask the question if such a decision was taken in South Africa's interest. Durban is known throughout the world as a rugby city and was supposed to get the Test this year. |
That's ridiculous, I don't know where that came from. |
The process will require a lot of research and time. The ultimate decision is one we will not take lightly or in a haphazard function. The terms of reference are designed to give us a total picture that will tell us whether they are ready for 2007 or not. |
There is just too much negativity surrounding our rugby. Rugby cannot prosper if it is rocked by one scandal after another. My motivation for standing is to do what I can to improve rugby's image. |
There is no pressure on me. |
We never voted on this issue. |
