Andre Joubert on his Springboks career & 1995 Rugby World Cup
In this episode of Front Row Rugby award-winning sports journalist Peter Stemmet interviews Springbok Rugby legend and 1995 Rugby World Cup winner Andre Joubert. Andre and Peter discuss a memorable career that included winning the Rugby World Cup, coming up against Jonah Lomu, becoming a rugby professional, losing to the All Blacks in 1996, bouncing back to beat France in France, losing to the 1997 British and Irish Lions and the end of his Springbok career possibly caused by a disagreement with Nick Mallett. Joubert also takes credit for giving Percy Montgomery his first Test try!

Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports. Although as a sports journalist I am supposed to remain neutral, I always like to point out that before I became a professional, I was just a big fan! I hold a Masters Degree in International Journalism so at least you know I should be able to ask a good question or two! My dream is to do this YouTube Channel permanently.
