Neuware - 'We spent all our time surrounded by police cordons and barbed wire, never mind having our bus hijacked.' - Tommy Bedford, Springboks No. 82019 and 2020 mark the fiftieth anniversary of the controversial 1969/70 Springbok rugby tour of the British Isles - a landmark event on both a sporting and political level. Taking place during the time of South Africa's apartheid dispensation, the tour was characterised throughout by violent demonstrations against the 'ambassadors of apartheid.' Scenes of chanting demonstrators at the players' hotels and airports and protesters being dragged off the field of play by police were not uncommon. Smoke bombs and flour bombs also became a match-day fixture.These were wild and unnerving times for the players on tour, whose movements were badly inhibited, who had to play hide and seek to avoid possible violence, and in between also try to play some rugby. During a demanding tour that lasted three months and eight days and took them to and fro between England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, they had to try and sustain a proud tradition of previous highly successful Springbok tours through the Isles.Through personal interviews with the players, including team captain Dawie de Villiers, vice-captain Tommy Bedford and other senior members of the squad, as well as other key figures such as anti-apartheid campaigner Peter Hain, Rugby Behind Barbed Wire takes readers to the inner circle of a besieged group of sportsmen who just wanted to play rugby despite concerted efforts to deny them. The author also looks at the political context of events, and why so many felt that disrupting the tour was a matter of moral and political necessity.…
