- Description
A group of nasty thugs threatens violence against foreigners at the 2011 Rugby World Cup; one of them recommends bringing the kids too so that they can be smacked. Refers to an incident when one of the French Rugby team visiting New Zealand for a series of tests was injured after partying and said that he had been attacked by five men in the street. After this cartoon was drawn it became evident that the French Rugby player was lying and his wounds were not the result of an attack by New Zealanders but possibly by someone from his own team. For a few days many New Zealanders felt ashamed of what they believed was appalling behaviour against the visiting team. There is also a reference to the great smacking debate over which the 'Family First' lobby group wants a referendum.
Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
