In 1960 , international criticism of apartheid grew in the wake of '' The Wind of Change '' speech and the Sharpeville massacre . The Springboks increasingly became the target of international protest . The All Blacks toured South Africa in 1960 , despite a 150,000 signature petition opposing it . The Springboks avenged their 1956 series defeat by winning the four-match test series 2 – 1 with one draw . Later that same year the Springboks toured Europe , and they defeated all four Home unions for their fourth Grand Slam
