The exhibition traces the origins of rugby and its recorded history in South Africa before and after apartheid, describing its early beginnings in the Cape and proliferation throughout the provinces. It highlights South Africa's world dominance of the sport from 1906 to 1956, and describes the 8-year journey back from international ostracism and boycotts to the democratic South Africa's triumphant return to world rugby at the 1995 World Cup.
The exhibition comprises text, graphics, audio and video recordings and interviews, and unique documentary footage. The exhibition will close on 8 November 2009.
