On June 24 1995, the Men's Rugby World Cup saw the Springboks secure a historic 15-12 win against New Zealand in an emotionally charged final at a packed Ellis Park in Johannesburg. Take a listen..... OUTRO: That was Gerald de Kock, SABC rugby commentator and a colleague broadcasting the 1995 Rugby World Cup final in Johannesburg. South Africa's success resonated with a new generation of supporters, and on that day a young schoolboy and future star by the name of Bryan Habana happened to attend his first big game of rugby.

C'était un 24 juin, il y a 30 ans tout pile. C'était jour de finale à Johannesburg, où l'Afrique du Sud gagnait sa première Coupe du monde de rugby. Un tournant dans l'histoire du pays, avec l'implication directe du nouveau président élu, Nelson Mandela, et son projet de nation arc-en-ciel, après l'apartheid. Ce 24 juin 1995 voit les Springboks soulever la coupe Webb Ellis et le pays entier vibrer. C'est l'éclosion de cette fierté d'une nation unie par le sport, prête à se réconcilier. RFI est retourné sur les lieux de cette finale historique, au stade Ellis Park, accompagné d'un de ceux qui ont foulé la pelouse le 24 juin 1995. De notre correspondant à Johannesburg, Nous avançons dans un long couloir chargé d'histoire. Il relie les vestiaires à la pelouse. Trente ans plus tôt, le 24 juin 1995, le jour de la finale du Mondial de rugby, Rudolf Streauli l'empruntait en tant que joueur : « J'étais impatient d'arriver au bout de ce couloir. » À l'époque, il entre sur le terrain avec le numéro 19 dans le dos. « Le président était assis là. Nous, on sentait le stade vibrer », se souvient-il. Devenu un temps entraîneur des Springboks, l'ancien joueur de près de 2 mètres dirige aujourd'hui le club de Johannesburg, les Lions, basé à Ellis Park. Le stade de la finale de 1995 est donc devenu son bureau : « Après avoir soulevé la coupe, je voulais jouer un plus grand rôle. Je suis fier de m'occuper du stade et de vous montrer notre musée aujourd'hui. » Un musée qui retrace l'histoire du rugby sud-africain. Avec, évidemment, des photos de Nelson Mandela, l'ancien président qui a fait de cette première victoire en Coupe du monde un tournant pour l'Afrique du Sud. « Quand il est arrivé avec le maillot numéro 6, c'était une surprise. On était tous nerveux, mais positivement », se remémore-t-il. Sam Nyaniso est salarié du club et nous accompagne le temps de la visite. Et même si ce fan de rugby travaille avec le champion du monde depuis des années, il n'est jamais à court de questions. « Rudolf, sans Mandela, tu penses que vous auriez gagné ? », interroge-t-il. Et le joueur de lui répondre que Madiba avait « joué un rôle central. Son projet pour le pays nous a évidemment motivé ». « Moi, j'avais 11 ans, j'ai regardé la finale sur une petite télévision. Les gens sont sortis dans la rue, ils klaxonnaient. Blancs et Noirs se prenaient dans les bras, témoigne Sam Nyaniso. Et quelques années plus tard, quand Rudolf est devenu coach, mon père a été recruté pour travailler avec lui. C'est lui sur cette photo. » « Le rugby, c'est un sport qui peut changer une société », estime Rudolf Streauli. Quant à Sam Nyaniso, il mesure la force et l'impact du rugby sur sa propre trajectoire : « Pour un gars comme moi, cela a ouvert tellement de portes. Je n'oublierai jamais cette finale ! » Trente plus tard, l'Afrique du Sud reste un pays fracturé et particulièrement inégal. Rudolf Streauli, fidèle à la mentalité de 1995, continue donc d'utiliser le rugby comme un vecteur d'unité et d'espoir pour les Sud-Africains.

Director Justin Kurzel has crafted a filmography built on exploring the impact of trauma and violence on a nation. Whether it be his excoriating debut film Snowtown or the acts of cautionary storytelling with Nitram and The Order, Kurzel's work questions how violence and trauma lingers in our bodies, our minds, and in our lands. That's a notion that he explores with impressive strength with his first foray into documentary filmmaking, Ellis Park.There's catharsis in Ellis Park, partially because of Warren Ellis and his healing violin, but – as the man says himself – his presence is minimal compared to the presence of Femke and the conservationists. Yet, when paired with Kurzel and editor Nick Fenton, they collectively bring light to a horrifying trade that scars the environment. I'm shaken by Ellis Park because of its presentation of trauma, but equally so for its depiction of empathy, consideration, and support.This is, oddly, my first time talking to Justin Kurzel. Having listened to and read countless interviews by him, I was aware that I would be engaging with someone who is a deeply empathetic soul, yet I was still left disarmed by his connection to his openness about his connection to his work, his family, and to the art of cinema.To support the film, Warren Ellis and Justin Kurzel will be running Q&A sessions around the nation. All of the details are in the show notes, but make sure to pick up tickets in advance when the film kicks off with a virtual Q&A with Warren Ellis at Perth's Luna Leederville cinemas on 5 June, concluding with a Sydney Film Festival and Vivid Sydney exclusive event on 8 June at the State Theatre. Ellis Park then releases wide across Australia on 12 June 2025.The Ellis Park sanctuary is part of the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, a non-government, non-profit organisation that was established in 2004 to protect Indonesian wildlife, with a focusing on animal cruelty and rescuing animals from the noxious illegal animal trade network.

The Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus says his All Blacks counterpart Scott Robertson "might be the best coach in the world" and he's downplaying the hosts favouritism for this weekend's test at Ellis Park.
The All Blacks insist the sudden departure of assistant coach Leon MacDonald hasn't been a disruption as they prepare to face the World Champion Springboks at Ellis Park.
All Blacks great Sir John Kirwan says Leon MacDonald's coaching future will have to be overseas after exiting as the All Blacks assistant coach yesterday. In a shock move, New Zealand Rugby announced MacDonald was stepping down from the role under All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson five tests into the season, and just a week out from their Rugby Championship test against South Africa. “It's unbelievable...incredible courage I believe on behalf of both of them,” Kirwan told the Mike Hosking Breakfast on Newstalk ZB. “If it's not working out because the status quo would be probably stay there, finish the season. But for them to move on this quicker, I think it's the best thing for the team.” ‘Some people just can't be assistants' Kirwan said there were probably two main reasons for MacDonald to walk away from the role. “Probably a lack of philosophy around how they are attacking. Once you don't agree on how they're going to attack it's pretty hard to mend,” he told Hosking. “And the second thing is, I think some people just can't be assistants as well. Leon's been a head coach now for a while, and so it's hard to sometimes go back to being assistant. Regardless of the timing of his exit, MacDonald will now be highly sought after by any side in need of a coach. At Super Rugby level, MacDonald led the Blues in 69 games during his four-year tenure, for 45 wins, 23 defeats and a draw. The Herald understands MacDonald turned down an approach from Scotland in order to sign on with Robertson and the All Blacks. “I think he'd probably have to go offshore, now. There's no jobs left in New Zealand,” Kirwan added. The All Blacks face the Springboks at Ellis Park next Sunday in their first meeting since the Rugby World Cup final. That is followed by a second test a week later in Cape Town. Kirwan said losing a coach midseason shouldn't be a major disruption for the players. “I don't think the players will be affected too much. I think they'll just carry on. I don't think he's going to be replaced, so it'll be one less voice. “He's [Robertson's] got enough people in there to fill the gap. I just think they'll carry on.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
