Bryden, Colin, and Mark Colley (editors) : Springboks Under Siege: The New Zealand Tour / Pioneering in America / Irish in South Africa / Beaumont's Lions. An illustrated record of Springbok rugby in 1980 and 1981

(Johannesburg: Now Publications, 1981)

Small folio (305 x 212 mm); pictorial boards; pp. (iv) + 160; profusely illustrated with photographs in colour and monochrome. Cover a little rubbed and fishmothed; endpapers, outer leaves and page edges somewhat foxed. Good. "The Incredible Flour Bomb Test in Auckland on September 12, 1981, brought to a close the traumatic tour of New Zealand and a crowded, exciting two years for the Springboks. This is the full record of the 15 Tests played by the Springboks between April 1980 and September 1981. It is also a match-by-match record of both the New Zealand tour and the tour of South Africa by the Irish earlier this year, and the extraordinary events in the United States. By any standards, it was a remarkable and vivid era of Springbok rugby, highlighted by the ill-fated British Lions safari of 1980 and the explosive background to the New Zealand tour just completed, when the Springboks found themselves unwilling pawns in a battle between law and disorder."
