tour RISH Anti-Apartheid has issued a leaflet on the forthcoming South African Rugby tour of Ireland. It points out that in South Africa sportsmen are banned from participating in games purely because of the colour of their skin. It cites seyeral cases and points out that several international sports organisations have suspended all-white South African organisations. It concludes: “For too long has the rest of the rugby-playing world tacitly accepted South Africa’s traditional way of life, her racial discrimination. The issue of apartheid in sport must now be faced in Ireland.” The leaflet demands the cancellation of the tour; it appeals to players not to play and spectators not to attend matches; it asks people to protest to the Irish Rugby Football Union (Landsdowne Road, Dublin 4); and attend a protest meeting at the Mansion House, Dublin on April 8th. Anyone wanting copies of the leaflet or any other information about the Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement should write to: Flat 3, Fortfield Road, Dublin 6,
