    Not that it’s necessarily a reflection on them today, but rugby union was also one of the last major sports to ban apartheid South Africa. Athletics banned them by '70, cricket tours were being called off from '70, soccer suspended them all the way back in '61, and they weren’t allowed in the Olympics from '64. But they were still doing official international rugby union tours as late as '84.
