What caused the protest over the springbok tour?
New Zealand had signed The Gleneagles Agreement with other countries around the world. It stated that any country that signed the agreement would not participate in any sporting activities with South Africa until the apartheid was abolished. The government allowed the Springbok to come and play stating "no politics in sports" but many New Zealander's disagreed and organised protests to show their disapproval. My opinion on what happenede during the Springbok Tour is that the protestors had are reslly good reason for what they were doing.
How did the 1981 Springbok Tour of New Zealand affect the lives of people?
New Zealand became a divided country in the fact that half thought it was 'just a game' & the other half saw it as being racist in not letting non-white human beings play alongside the springboks in the 1981 Springbok Tour. Mass protests were held all over he country, and flour bombs were dropped on to the fields while the All Blacks and the Springboks were playing in the final. Anti-Apartheid protesters were beaten by police with batons & the majority of the protesters were arrested with blood dripping down their faces & bodies.
What caused the 1981 Springbok tour to end?
It ended because the tour was officially over. The Springboks played all the games they were scheduled to, barring the Hamilton and Timaru games which were cancelled due to extreme protesting. The tour wasn't ended early or anything, if that's what you were asking. It just finished.

Did the New Zealand government make the right decision in allowing the 1981 Springbok Tour to go ahead?
No I don't think the govern ment made the right choice. Letting the tour go ahead split families up because they didn't agree on what was right.
Who protested in the 1981 springbok tour?
The 1981 springbok tour to New Zealand resulted in huge demonstrations by many people in New Zealand. The country was divided in two; many people took to the streets in protest at the continuing state of apartheid in South Africa and believed that sporting links with this country represented support for it's racist regime. Rugby grounds were layed siege to and demonstrations turned violent as protesters clashed with riot police and rugby supporters. One match, the Sprinkboks vs Waikato, was called off after the pitch was invaded by protesters and very ugly scenes resulted as rugby fans attacked the demonstrators in the middle of the field. During the final test in Auckland a light plane was used to bomb the field with packets of flour, one of them felling All Black prop, Gary Knight. Two organisations that were involved in the protests were: H.A.R.T (Halt All Racist Tours) and C.A.R.E (Citizens Association for Racial Equality). The 1981 Springbok tour polarised the country and left scars that would not be healed until the World Cup in 1987.
