Bravo! There's no doubt the 1995 Rugby World Cup was a decisive catalyst in shifting South Africa out of its past. I watched the first match (against Australia)at a yacht club. The African staff, who had previously shown no interest whatever in rugby on TV, suddenly were jumping up and down and whooping with delight. The Sowetan newspaper coined the word "Amabokoboko" for Springboks, which they still use. Invictus captured all this perfectly. Tour de force! Bravo!
