Description: In 1995, there were wild celebrations across the racial divide in South Africa when the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup on home soil. Victory on the pitch followed a concerted campaign by Nelson Mandela - then the new president - to get white and black South Africans behind the team. Rob Bonnett hears from the South African captain Francois Pienaar and from John Carlin, the author of the book about the World Cup which became the Hollywood film, Invictus.
