<span class='nw'>Pienaar</span>, / who led the Springboks, / and the other players /

supported Mandela’s idea. //

Although at first / they did not think /

they were doing something important / for the new nation, / they

gradually came to realize / what Mandela meant / by “One Team, /

One Country.” //

They came to understand Mandela’s feelings better / when

they visited the island / where he had been in <span class='nw'>captivity</span>. //

This

island was still being used / as a prison. //

The players saw the

<span class='nw'>cell</span> / where Mandela had to stay / for such a long time. //

They

entered the cell, / one or two at a time, / because it could not hold /

any more than that. //

Seeing that small box, / they realized / what

white people had done to black people / in the past. //

After seeing Mandela’s cell, / the Springbok players met

the <span class='nw'>prisoners</span> there, / who were all black people. //

The players told

them / they were now <span class='nw'>representing</span> the whole country, / including

them. //

Hearing this, / the prisoners began singing a song / for the

players. //

The prisoners were trying to <span class='nw'>forgive</span> their enemies. //

Mandela went around the country / asking people to

support the Springboks, / but it was not easy. //

Many could not

just forget the past. //

The <span class='nw'>atmosphere</span> gradually changed / as the team <span class='nw'>achieved</span>

one <span class='nw'>victory</span> after another. //

Black people / who did not even know

the rules of rugby / before the World Cup / became interested

in playing it / with white people. //

The better the Springboks

played, / the more black people began playing. //

At last, / the

whole nation was following the games / and supporting the

Springboks. //

More and more people / began to wave their new

national <span class='nw'>flag</span>, / which meant the real end of apartheid. //

The team finally met the All Blacks from <span class='nw'>New</span> <span class='nw'>Zealand</span> /

in the final. //

Five minutes before the game, / Nelson Mandela

stepped out <span class='nw'>onto</span> the field / to shake hands with the players. //

was wearing the green Springbok cap and uniform. //

When the

people saw him, / they went dead still. //

Then the <span class='nw'>chant</span> began, /

low at first, / but rising quickly in <span class='nw'>volume</span> and <span class='nw'>intensity</span>. //

The

<span class='nw'>crowd</span> of white people, / as one, / as one nation, / began chanting, /

“[Nel-son]! / [Nel-son]! / [Nel-son!]” / over and over again. //

It was a

moment of magic. //

To make people remember that game, / the Springboks

had to win it. //

The <span class='nw'>score</span> / when they stopped at the end of

the first 40 minutes / was [9-6] / in favor of South Africa. //

In the

second half, / however, / the All Blacks scored / and regular play

ended / with the score <span class='nw'>tied</span> at [9-9]. //

For the first time in the

Rugby World Cup, / the game had to go into <span class='nw'>overtime</span>, / with

two halves of ten minutes each. //

<span class='nw'>Physically</span> and <span class='nw'>mentally</span> / the

players were very tired, / but Pienaar said to his <span class='nw'>teammates</span>, /

“Look around you. / See those flags? / Play for those people. / We

have to do this for South Africa.” //

Six minutes before the end

of the game, / South Africa finally dropped a goal, / which led to

victory. //

A TV reporter came over to Pienaar / on the field / and

asked, / “What did it feel like / to have [62,000] fans / supporting

you here in the stadium?” //

He replied, / “We didn’t have [62,000] fans behind us. / We

had 43 million South Africans.” //

There were no old flags in the

stadium. //

Everybody / —in tears— / was waving the new national
