Courtesy no Argument

Courtesy no Argument

". . . This is less a matter of trying to interfere with the internal affairs of South Africa than of upholding racial equality here in New Zealand. Nor can it be validly argued that New Zealand should, out of courtesy, accept the invitation to send an All Black team. To accept ... an invitation with implied (even if self-imposed) restrictions on New Zealand's right to select its national representative team on merit alone ... is to apply racial discrimination in our own country and this cannot be tolerated."
