SA Rugby blocked questions about new Springbok captain André Esterhuizen's 2012 racial slur during a press conference. Esterhuizen, who was 18 at the time, used a racial slur during a school match and received a one-year suspension. The incident has resurfaced ahead of his captaincy debut against Australia, sparking debate about whether it should have lasting punishment. Some argue it's in the past, while others feel it should keep him out of leadership roles.
