This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 1 August 1981, with the caption: "Ground in state of siege." Barbed wire was erected around the Showgrounds and barricades blocked parts of Cuba Street in anticipation of anti-Apartheid and anti-Springbok Tour protests during the rugby match played between the Springboks and Manawatū on 1 August 1981
