This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 03 August 1981, with the caption: "On the verge of the unknown…the thin blue line faces the protesters.” The Standard reported that protesters against the Springbok Rugby Tour game held against Manawatū on 1 August, stood ‘eyeball to eyeball’ with Police in riot gear for 24 minutes during an unplanned standoff on the intersection of David and Cuba Streets.
