Best Answer

It was played in South Africa, a country that had often been shunned because of its apartheid laws and how they impacted Rugby. They had gone by 1995. South Africa won that World Cup, their first ever win. The team helped unite a nation with both black and white people supporting the team. The trophy was presented by Nelson Mandela, who was then president of South Africa.
