"I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul" - Invictus, William Ernest Henley.
It's become one of the most famous and poignant sporting images of all time - President Nelson Mandela, the symbol of post apartheid South Africa, dressed in a Springbok jersey handing Rugby Union's World Cup to his nation's captain, Francois Pienaar.
Pienaar's side had always found a way - on and off the field - they had united a nation in support and stampeded all over rugby logic.
Never more so than in a thunderous final when they defeated the mighty All Blacks - a New Zealand side boasting the previously unstoppable rugby juggernaut, Jonah Lomu.
They did it thanks to a frightening level of defensive commitment and because they possessed the coolest man on the pitch, Joel Stransky. He it was who kicked the decisive drop goal deep into extra time.
History was made; a new era-the era of the 'Rainbow Nation' had dawned.
Now, with previously unseen material, re-live the highlights of the entire tournament plus the final in full and the extraordinary post match celebrations. Includes previously unseen changing room interviews. This is the full story of the 1995 Rugby World Cup on DVD.
