The inquiry led by retired judge Edwin King into alleged racism in South African rugby has been postponed until early next year to allow the Springboks to prepare unburdened for the Rugby World Cup in Australia next month. This was revealed at a special media conference in Durban on Tuesday night attended by Minister of Sport and Recreation Ngconde Balfour in which Springbok coach Rudolf Straeuli and manager Gideon Sam apologised for an error in judgement in the manner in which they handled the Geo Cronje and Quinton Davids race issue.
