- Description
The cartoon shows a donkey in the shape of a rugby ball that represents the N.Z Rugby Union. To his left is a feeding tray full of money with a label reading 'to Sth. Africa right or wrong'. The donkey is reluctantly being pulled away from this tray by a rope, representing public opinion, to another trough full of water with a label that reads, 'No Maoris no tour'. Refers to the `No Maoris - No Tour' protest movement against the 1960 tour to South Africa. Although unmoved by the protest the Rugby Union did cancel the 1967 tour.
Exhibited in 'Guts and Glory' an exhibition of rugby cartoons, organised by the New Zealand Cartoon Archive Trust in association with the Alexander Turnbull Library, National Library of New Zealand, at the National Library Gallery, 15 July - 7 November 1999, and then touring until 2001. Curated by Susan Foster.
