In South Africa, the tour was expected to reopen the doors to international competition for the Springboks after an anti-apartheid sporting boycott had forced the sport into relative isolation during the 1970s. In the face of much international condemnation, the Springboks toured to New Zealand and the USA in 1981 where they encountered large and often violent demonstrations as those who opposed the tour attempted to scuttle it.

    1 On the 3rd June 2017 (Queens Birthday Weekend) Poverty Bay host East Coast Rugby Union in their annual Pre-Season clash, during this weekend a celebration of combined Poverty Bay & East Coast teams from 1955 through to 2000 is taking place. As I was making my first ever trip to Gisborne to experience this occasion I thought only it right to look into the rich history these two unions have had over these years. Especially this year, as on the day of the annual clash in Gisborne between Poverty Bay and East Coast, the 2017 British & Irish Lions open their much awaited tour of New Zealand in Whangarei against the NZ Provincial Barbarians. Since 1930 the combined team had played the “Lions” on several occasions with the 1966 clash the stand out as the combined side almost accomplished the pinnacle of a Lions scalp to only fall short with a score line of 6 – 9 in favour of the tourists. So with the help of many books and other research materials I have compiled the following details of the combined teams with full squad, team and scoring details in depth from 1955. We also cover briefly the games played pre 1955 in which several were with a mixture of teams combined with the inclusion of players from Hawkes Bay and Bay of Plenty. My hope here is to have a record that will spark debate and interest to those who may have forgotten the rich history that these two unions share Kevin Hare - RugbyHeartland.co.nz 2 Pre 1955 – (Hawkes Bay) /POVERTY BAY/EAST COAST COMBINED vs: 1950 British Lions 1949 Australia 1948 Hawkes Bay 1942 Otago 1949 Australia 1937 South Africa 1930 Great Britain 1925 New South Wales 1923 New South Wales 1921 New South Wales/South Africa POVERTY BAY EAST COAST COMBINED vs: 2000 Scotland 1992 Ireland 1990 Scotland 1989 NZ Maori 1978 NZ Maori 1977 Olympians/British Lions/Hawkes Bay 1971 Olympians/British Lions 1966 Bay of Plenty/British Lions 1965 NZ Maori/B.O.P/Sth Africa 1959 Waikato/British Lions 1956 Hawkes Bay/South Africa 1955 Australia 3 4 1955 POVERTY BAY - EAST COAST vs Australia Colours: Scarlet Selectors: Messrs.
