1995 Rugby World Cup Final - South Africa v New Zealand - Extended Highlights

[@hughstark4882]

I’m not even South African but whenever I see the players jump after the final scrum and the crowd erupt in unison it always brings a smile to my face 😊

[@justsmashing4628]

I was there (next to the MacSteel advert), the greatest 2 hours I ever had, goosebumps! Great vid. What few know is when Pienaar was interviewed on the field and was asked to thank the 70,000 crowd for their support, he instead thanked the 50 million South Africans, this did a lot to prevent a full civil war that was very close at the time.

You are lucky my friend. This was the most important rugby match of all time I think. Even though I was a gutted 13 year old kiwi after the game, my sadness turned very quickly as I realised what this meant to SA. SA needed it and wanted it more I think....What a moment.

[@the_rocksf1148]

The fact that they had only been back in World Rugby for 3 years just shows how good this TEAM was. I’m still hurt deep down that we lost but I’m happy for SA as it meant a lot more to them as it would of for NZ. Roll on RWC 23!!

Perhaps the most moving moment in all sporting history.

My son's bed pillow popped, stuffing flying all over the place! Me peeking through my fingers at the end. My kids leaping on & off the beds, dog's tail wagging like mad. I fell in love with Joel Stransky. James Small didn't even flinch, he took on Jona Lomu no problem! Chester Williams ran like the wind! Joost van der Westhuizen & Capt Francois Pienaar. Our Madiba in his No. 6 jersey, we all loved him Nelson Mandela. Final whistle we/SA won! My BP was through the roof! My heart raced! Cars honking for hours! So proud of our Bokke & our Madiba. Sadly, they are gone now - Madiba, James Small, Chester Williams & Joost van der Westhuizen - & Jona Lomu too - they are missed but will never be forgotten.

really - what a doos - poisoned before the match - the only "poison" in the All Blacks was their own arrogance believing they were just going to roll SA over and that Lomu was their secret weapon to cut the line at will - well, whenever he touched the ball he was tackled properly and low to cut him down - wonder why the All Blacks never provided any simple blood test analysis from all the players to prove this "poisoning" myth - pathetic actually that a lie had to be thought up to cover for their frailties and arrogance -
