New Zealand’s national rugby team canceled a 16-match tour of South Africa after a court injunction barred the players from leaving the country. Prime Minister David Lange had said the tour would make New Zealand “part of the armory of apartheid.” The team’s 1976 tour of South Africa led to a boycott of the Montreal Olympics by black African nations. The national team did not rule out rescheduling the tour once the legal issues are clarified.
