spo07. ‘Twickenham Rejects Apartheid!’

Leaflet advertising a meeting near the England rugby ground at Twickenham a few days before England’s game against South Africa on 20 December. The rugby Springboks played 24 games during their tour of Britain and Ireland in 1979/80. There were big demonstrations at every match. The protests combined direct action to disrupt the games, co-ordinated by Stop the Seventy Tour (STST), and mass marches organised by the AAM.
