The challenges faced by the only black team playing 6-down touch rugby at In2Touch : "I just saw all these white people and just thought Wah...what is going to happeb to us!"

Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 89-104). / These findings seriously question the idea that sport promotes egalitarianism. The data reveals that the legacy of apartheid still means that access to sports such as 6-down touch rugby are available only to areas with particular facilities and to those that can afford it. It is not available for all. Sport itself is not magic-wand through which people naturally find it possible to put behind them societal differences. Differences from greater society are mirrored in sport and this was evident from my data.
