The French were the victim of some hometown decisions in the Cape town semi-final as a late French try was disallowed in the days before video referees. RWC 1995 - South Africa V France - It looked at the time as if Abdel Benazzi had grounded the ball over the tryline. It still looked like he had grounded the ball over the tryline on the slow motion action replay. But back in 1995, there was no Television Match Official. Semifinal referee Derek Bevan said the French No 8 was short and that was it - he blew for fulltime and South Africa were in the final. The Springboks had gone through 19-15 and Benazzi's last minute lunge would have made all the difference, had it counted. It had the feel of a slightly harsh call in the hours after the game but took on a more sinister hue after the tournament. At the post-tournament dinner, South African Rugby Union president Louis Luyt thanked Bevan in his appalling speech for "outstanding refereeing". He then invited the Welshman on stage to accept an expensive gold watch. Kruger scored a try against France in the Durban semi-final and only admitted years later that it was not a legitimate try.

Invictus is a 2009 biographical sports drama film directed by Clint Eastwood starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The story is based on the John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation about the events in South Africa before and during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, hosted in that country following the dismantling of apartheid. Freeman and Damon play, respectively, South African President Nelson Mandela and François Pienaar, the captain of the South African rugby union team the Springboks. Invictus was released in the United States on December 11, 2009. The title Invictus may be translated from the Latin as undefeated or unconquered, and is the title of a poem by English poet William Ernest Henley (1849--1903).
BlackTree TV's Brooke Christopher sits down to talk with Academy Award® Winners Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon to talk about their new picture, Invictus. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people, in a way that little else does. Nelson Mandela The 1995 World Cup Final was, to most people around the world, little more than a thrilling rugby match. But to the people of South Africa, it was a turning point in their history—a shared experience that helped to heal the wounds of the past even as it gave new hope for the future. The architect of this benchmark event was the nations president, Nelson Mandela. Its builders were the members of South Africas rugby team, the Springboks, led by their captain, Francois Pienaar. Directed by Clint Eastwood, Invictus chronicles how President Mandela and Francois Pienaar joined forces to turn their individual hopes—the president, to unite his country; the captain, to lead the nations team to World Cup glory—into one shared goal with the motto One team, one country. In the film, Mandela calls upon Pienaar to lead his team to greatness, citing a poem that was a source of inspiration and strength to him during his years in prison. It is later revealed that the poem is Invictus, by William Ernest Henley. The title is translated to mean unconquered, which, Eastwood says, doesnt represent any one character element of the story. It takes on a broader meaning over the <b>...</b>
