South Africa famously won the Rugby World Cup in 1995 and united the nation. Relive the special memories as Front Row Rugby host Peter Stemmet recalls that special time in this retrospective review. From the pressure of having to win the opening match against Australia in Cape Town to the pool stage wins over Romania and Canada; the infamous Battle of Boet Erasmus, you’ll enjoy this special trip down memory lane.

You’ll also hear first-hand from the Springboks who were actually there. Pieter Hendriks, James Dalton, Andre Joubert, Mark Andrews and Joel Stransky will all weigh in with their recollections of that special time.
Peter also discusses how Chester Williams returned to the side for the quarter-final against Western Samoa before the Boks saw off France and the All Blacks in the final to lift the Webb Ellis Cup.

Who can ever forget President Nelson Mandela famously wearing Francois Pienaar’s Number 6 jersey as he handed over the trophy to the Springbok captain. What a time it was to be alive!

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.
