Sid Going

athlete New Zealand

Sid Going is a former New Zealand rugby union player, known for his exceptional skills as a halfback. He played for the All Blacks from 1967 to 1977 and was part of the team that made history during a tumultuous time in rugby, particularly in relation to the apartheid policies in South Africa. Going notably received 'honorary white' status during the apartheid era, allowing him to participate in tours that excluded many Māori players, a reflection of the racial divisions of the time.
