Don't know and don't care what the Apartheid-lovers got up to.

I take it you haven't seen many of the Lions documentaries knocking about at the moment? The ones where history is changed in such a way that union was actually helping to break apartheid in '74, rather than just taking the cash and showing solidarity with their white brothers.

Watched little bits of it. Only highlight though was when Moyne's "try" went to the Video Ref (or Television Match Official as the Pimm's suckers call them!!) and there was a bizarre exchange between ref Bryce Lawrence and TMO Christophe Berdos where Berdos said it was a Lions scrum, Lawrence wanted to know why, Berdos started struggling to explain and when he finally said why, Lawrence overruled him and gave a 22.

Bizarre how some RU refs don't need to know the rules.
