Hi There. The Rugby World Cup Final of 1995 is finally upon us. We are 15 minutes away from kick off and the 63 000 strong hoard of rugby fans, fortunate enough to have tickets for this historic event, are filling the Ellis park stadium with a spine tingling roar of ecstacy as they, await the first whistle from our referee of the day, Ed Morrison. Francois Pienaar has wond the coin toss and elected to play from the left to right, which amounts to North to South at Ellis Park. He and his counterpart, Sean Fitzpatrick both showing great respect for one another and deservedly so. They will both, no doubt, take this time to have a few final words with their respective teams as we are mesmerized by the aerobatics, live music and celebration for the event. I'm Jason and I wil be keeping you updated with all the live action. Enjoy!
