[crowd cheering] [upbeat music] South Africa lead 15-12, seven minutes to play.

Van der Westhuizen coming around offside.

They said knock on from New Zealand.

It's all over.

It's all over.

But they were unable to on that big occasion.

And for whatever mitigating factors there were, uh, they could not do it because of the desperation defense, and that's, on that occasion, the likes of Joost van der Westhuizen, of course.

So I, I think that the Springboks, if they are imposing their will, are quite happy to go up in threes.

Mm.

clue.

When did Joost van de Veste's in play till?

What have you got to the 2003 World Cup? Just maybe.

Bench and stuff.

And another lifeline, yeah.

Number five, he famously tackled Jonah Lombo in the 95 Rugby World Cup final.

Oh, it's got to be Joost.

Yeah, it's got to be

...

Joost and Ruben and Johan Ackermann-

Oh, man

... that's now the coach, and I can keep going on.

Win at Loftus Versfeld at altitude in Pretoria, and they'd take the series.

The All Blacks were comfortably 24-11 up when the Boks hit back with tries from Ruben Kruger and Joost van der Westhuizen in a space of two minutes to cut the score to 24-23.

Unheralded substitute John Preston sealed the deal.

And he comes on in Pretoria, and we get this penalty 55 yards out from the post.

The Boks pack managed to wheel the scrum in the right direction.

Joost van der Westhuizen fired a deep pass to Stransky, and he sent the winning drop goal soaring through the posts.

At that time, I think we were the fitter team, the stronger team.

We were just starting to gain ascendancy.

That was for me, certainly in my mind.

And what happened then?

Joost and I had a moment.

The team was a very religious team.
