Check out the unexpected clip that popped up on social media this week, showing Bok strongman Kobus Wiese receiving a cheap shot from the All Blacks’ Ian Jones just as the final whistle blows in the 1995 World Cup final.
Wonder of @4KobusWiese ooit daai kêrel afgestof het na daai lafhartige vuishou so op die eindfluitjie? Soos ek my Mater ken…. @toksvdl @hurtenator @BobSkinstad @MarcoBotha @Nabasboer pic.twitter.com/WJwCORnUfF

Ian Jones punching Kobus Wiese just before the Boks won the World Cup in 1995 was pointed out to me for the first time this week, Had never previously noticed it… and knowing Cobes, Kamo was lucky the whistle went right then! https://t.co/w20qlRrh6n

However, Wiese made light of it when alerted to the moment some 24 years later.
Danny, promise to tell you the real story over a cup of the best!
