It impacted everybody in New Zealand - including society. This was due to South Africa's Apartheid regime stepping in. And for this, society was divided, not just due to Apartheid - but also the tour, which seemed to influence Apartheid - as all teams where selected as white-skins.
The Pro Tour people, where the Rugby fans, supporters and tour supporters - who favoured the coverage of all games, only to be disrupted throughout the tour.
The Anti Tour, where consistent, as they were led by many organisations such as H.A.R.T (Halt All Racist Tours) by John Minto and other anti-apartheid orginisations.
The Police on the other hand were a neutral concept throughout the tour, only to change their image. Not only did their lives change, but there work became involved more in danger, but it was there faulty work which caused the outbreak of
'civil war' in New Zealand.
-
These 3 collided, alongside the Muldoon Government, which seperated society in New Zealand for over 50 days during the tour.
This impact escalated in violence, rioting and civil disruption across the nation. Families, Communities seperated, Rugby not idolised.
