1981 springbok tour.

Held at: Rugby park hamilton (Waikato Stadium)

How it started: the Springbok said the coloured people can’t play because they didn't want to touch the black people because they're that racist

What they were doing: they got a plane and made it circled the park and where dropping smoke bombs flour bombs and flares and one of the flour bomb hit gary knight and made him fall

How did New Zealand break the rules: They broke the rules because the commonwealth countries were not supposed to play the any south african teams

How one the game that was interrupted: The springbok was down by one 18-19 with 15 minutes left but the game got cancelled caused of Smoke bombs, flares, and lots of other violence, it got too dangerous for the players one of them got hit in the head by a bomb. So they stopped the game and the teams went into the changing room with a final score of 18-19.

  1. Interesting information Jack, what type of bombs were they? Also imagine if they did this to the NBA!
