Synopsis
POLITICAL FOOTBALL tells the story of the Wallabies who, after representing Australia in Rugby Union in South Africa, stood down from selection when the South African Springboks toured Australia in 1971, on the basis that they were not prepared to play against a national team that was selected on the basis of race.
