Description: The scene is outside the rugby grounds where Manawatu were playing the Springboks. Police are searching and frisking spectators on entry to the grounds to prevent protestors from disrupting the game. One policeman is restraining a spectator carrying a placard and telling the Sergeant that the spectator is determined to enter the grounds free-of-charge. Refers to the game played in the Waikato at which protestors against the Springbok tour disrupted the game by running onto the pitch, causing the game to be called off. Extended Title - Go ahead with the tour down with N.Z.R.F.U.! Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s). Physical Description: Ink, letratone and crayon, 455 x 320 mm.

Description: Shows three scenes. In the top right a helicopter hovers above the pitch providing an escape route for the referee. In the lower left the referee is wearing a special camouflage suit which allows only his head, hands and boots to be visible. In the lower right the players have to be warned not to step on the landmines which have been placed between the pitch and the spectators. Refers to crowd disturbances at Mt Smart stadium on 10 October in which the referee was attacked by spectators. There was a possibility that F.I.F.A. would move the N.Z. versus Saudi Arabia match in November 1981 to a neutral location, possibly in Australia, to avoid violence. It was also suggested that the violence was a hangover from the disruptions which occurred during the 1981 Sprinbok tour of New Zealand. Extended Title - As with rugby, provided by the army perhaps - Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s). Physical Description: Ink, letratone and crayon, 450 x 320 mm

Description: The cartoon shows an elderly gentleman standing in front of a fire reading a newspaper. He is not at all happy with what he reads. On the surrounding walls are numerous cricket pictures and trophies. Refers to the 1981 Springbok tour, New Zealand cricket, New Zealand's international relations and to the slogan "don't mix politics with sport" voiced by those who supported sporting contacts with South Africa under apartheid. The man in the cartoon is annoyed that protests against New Zealand's international rugby contacts are having an effect on New Zealand's international cricket contacts. Extended Title - "Gad, sir! They've no right to mix sport with sport!" Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s). Physical Description: Ink, letratone and crayon, 455 x 320 mm.
