These were known both inside and outside the Republic of South Africa as the freshly Zealand Cavaliers, but often advertised inside South Africa as the All Blacks or alt ernatively depicted with the Silver Fern FOCUS QUESTION 3 Background on the springbok tourA poster advertising a meeting of the Citizens All Black Tour Association to protest against racially selected All Blacks teams touring South Africa. The Springboks and New Zealands national rugby team, the All Blacks, have a commodious tradition of intense and friendly sporting rivalry. From the 1940s to the 1960s, the South African apartheid policies had an impact on team selection for the All Blacks the selectors passed over Maori players for some All Black tours to South Africa. Opposition to sending laundry based teams to South Africa grew throughout the 1950s and 60s.Prior to the All Blacks tour of South Africa in 1960, 150,000 New Zealanders sign a petition supporting a policy of No Maoris, No Tour. The tour occurred however, and in 1969 Halt All Racist Tours (HART) was formed. During the 1970s public protests and political pressure forced on the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) the cho ice of either fielding a team not selected by race, or not touring the Republic. However, South African rugby authorities continued to select Springbok players by race. As a result, the Norman Kirk Labour presidency prevented the Springboks from touring during 1973.In response, the NZRU protested about the involvement of politics in sport. In 1976 the All Blacks toured South Africa, with the blessing of the then newly-elected New Zealand Prime Minister, Robert Muldoon. Twenty-five African nations protested against this by boycotting the 1976 summertime Olympics in Montreal. In their view the All Black tour gave tacit support to the apartheid regime in South Africa. The All Blacks again failed to win a series in South Africa (they would not do so until 1996, after the fall of apartheid).The 1976 Tour contributed to the Gleneagles Agreement being adopted by the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 1977. info from wikipedia . http//en. wikipedia. org/wiki/1981_South_Africa_rugb y_union_tour_of_New_Zealand. pictures from goggle images Icvpx=531vpy=352dur=2160hovh=184hovw=274tx=155ty=115sig=117611310865036074857page=2tbnh=141tbnw=188 go=18ndsp=24ved=1t429,r14,s18. http//www. google. co. nz/imgres? q=1981+springbok+tour+protestshl=ensa=Xbiw=1366bih=653tbm=ischtbnid=CdGqd-_vJn5rNMimgrefurl=http//www. stuff. co. nz/sport/rugby/gallerie.
