A highly collectible book documenting one of the most controversial and memorable rugby tours in history the 1981 Springbok Flour Bomb Tour of New Zealand.

The book, titled Meelbom (Flour Bomb) Toer 1981, revisits the Springboks 1981 tour, remembered for the intense anti-apartheid protests that led to airplanes dropping flour bombs over rugby fields. Despite the turmoil, it remains one of the defining moments in world rugby and South African sporting history.

This publication serves as both a historical record and a visual commemoration, featuring powerful photos, player accounts, and match highlights.
