I'm a New Zealander but this will always be my favourite world cup. I was 12 so it was the first one I could follow properly. I remember leaving my tv on all night and falling asleep during a game (we're 12 hours ahead of SA) and then waking up during another etc, plus the replays came on again a few hours later so you could watch what you missed. It felt like some grand occasion! This song used to give me tingles and pump me up. I was too old for the next world cups for it to feel so magical. And I also cared less when NZ got knocked out. This one broke my heart at the final. It took many years for me to accept that the stars were always aligned for South Africa to win this tournament ☺️

Bro I was 10 and exactly the same as an aussie. I worshipped campese and gregan and two years earlier i'd seen the monster Lomu destroy a guy as he broke down the wing live at a sevens tournament. This was when Rugby's popularity was hitting the big time and it was amazing!

In that 95 World Cup Jonah Lomu was a dominant giant who bulldozed all players who came up against him. In the final SA faced New Zealand and James Small (arguably) the smallest player on the field was tasked with stopping Lomu and he DID and SA won the World Cup and unified a divided country. He passed way this week...Google James Small vs Jonah Lomu and watch the movie Invictus with Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman
