Since SA emerged from sporting isolation in 1992, they managed 16 wins in 60 meetings with the Kiwis, with only one victory in the last 10, emphasising an increasingly one-sided rivalry. The All Black-Springbok rivalry, which began with a home win at Dunedin in August 1921, grew despite infrequent tours before and after World War 2 and because the Tests were tightly contested and the winning margins tiny.
“More than 150,000 people took part in over 200 demonstrations in 28 centres, and 1,500 were charged with offences stemming from these protests,” according to the country’s official government history website.
