Actually look at it this way, ALL the schools in South Africa has Rugby as a sport, the amount of schools who has soccer as a sport is substantially less, the population didn't even know much about soccer until we hosted the world cup. Our rugby teams actually compete on a high level, win games and claim titles. Rugby has been South Africa's national sport for decades and still is, soccer has to earn it's place before it can ever come close to becoming the national sport. According to the IRB South Africa has 434,219 registered players and 4100 Registered coaches which exclude those playing it at school. Not only that but the rugby competitions hosted by south Africa outnumbers the amount of soccer competitions. That in which we represent our country best in on an international level is without a doubt rugby.
