Tom Dean Medal Machine

Travel back in time to South Africa 1995 and join Mark Pougatch & Paul Hayward as they take a look at the Rugby World Cup.

It was a watershed moment for the sport, marking South Africa's return to the international stage after the dismantling of apartheid. But how did President Nelson Mandela, who had been imprisoned for 27 years, and rugby, unite South Africa ? And what significance did it have in changing the landscape of a divided nation? 

In this, the first episode of How It All Played Out, the duo are joined by legendary Springbok winger Bryan Habana, a boy in the crowd at the 1995 Final and a World Cup winner himself in 2007, to discuss what lasting legacy this historic moment had on the country.
