Bluey will be along shortly to tell us it was students from Cardiff that orchestrated the protest and the Swansea students ran away when they saw the police coming  |  |

Swansea let the side down losing to the Springbok, I wonder how many if any of the Springbok players that day if they had played and possibly lost to Glynneath in 1964 when Glynneath toured the republic of South Africa [against the wishes of many in authority and protest groups] the Glynneath boys won most of their games out there with the South Africans changing the itinerary all the time to put the valley commando's up against tougher and tougher opposition with more and more Springboks involved [they were preparing to play the Welsh national team and hammered Wales], at the end of 1945 Glynneath beat a New Zealand representative side with 3 or 4 players in their ranks that went on to hammer the British Lions for the NZ All Blacks in 1950 yet they tasted defeat against Glynneath up in Abernant Park, I wonder if the same happened to any of those Springbok players ? |  | | |

Fairplay to the All Whites they did take on Glynneath during Glynneath's invincible season 61/62, credit were credits due. | | | |

It was fast and filthy that day, I wonder how many ended up on parole, lucky no one was killed by death.
They had to draft in the met police, so for them it was no sleep till (they got back ) to Hammersmith. | |
