How popular is rugby among black South Africans?

Rugby, traditionally seen as a sport for white South Africans, has seen an impressive growth in popularity among black South Africans in recent years. Initiatives to make the sport more inclusive have helped in this growth, breaking down the racial barriers that once existed. Now, black players are not only participating, but also excelling in the sport, inspiring others to follow suit. While there's still some way to go in achieving complete racial equality in the sport, the love for rugby among black South Africans is certainly on the rise. It's heartening to see this transformation and the unifying power of sports.
