This New Zealand rugby team, announced in August 2012 to play three matches in the United Kingdom, was controversially excluded from the first three All Blacks tours of South Africa in 1928, 1949 and 1960 during the apartheid era. Which side is being described?

Question

Accepted Answer

Māori All Blacks. The Māori All Blacks are one of the oldest representative rugby union sides in the world, dating to 1888. Their exclusion from apartheid-era South Africa tours became a lightning rod in New Zealand's anti-apartheid movement, culminating in the disruption of the 1981 Springbok tour.
