The South Africans toured here in 1965 with little protest but a proposed All Black tour to South Africa in 1967 was called off. When the All Blacks finally made it back to the Republic in 1970, Maori were included but for the duration of the tour were classified as ‘honorary whites’. It was hard to know what was worse.
