South Africa v NZ, Rugby World Cup Final 1995 - de Kock
Original commentary notes by Gerald de Kock
A print of Gerald de Kock's original commentary notes from the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final match between South Africa and New Zealand at Ellis Park Stadium on 24 June 1995.
Why we love this sheet...This was the final that transcended sport. It was 9-9 after normal time with Joel Stransky and Andrew Merhtens having kicked all of their respective team's points but it was Stransky who would drop the wining goal in extra time. Nelson Mandela, wearing a Springbok jersey, presented the Web Ellis trophy to Francois Pienaar in what has become one of sport's most symbolic and enduring images.

You're buying a print, not the original paper — and the value is in whose paper it was. We'd rather say that here than let you find out later.
- Supplied by the commentator who wrote it. We work with them directly, not the resale market.
- Reproduced, never recreated. Nothing retyped or tidied. The shorthand and corrections stay exactly where they fell.
- Signed editions are numbered. Selected prints are signed by hand and limited.
