Episode notes

In 1995, just one year after the end of apartheid, South Africa hosted the Rugby World Cup. Against all odds, the Springboks triumphed — but the real victory came when Nelson Mandela, wearing the once-divisive green and gold jersey, handed the trophy to captain François Pienaar. In this episode of Beyond the Try Line, we explore how one match became a symbol of reconciliation, unity, and the power of sport to transform a nation.
