Factual error: During the final, in one of the scrums you can see a player wearing Nike Tiempo boots. These weren't released until the mid 2000's, and the film is set in 1995.
Francois Pienaar: Come boys. What the heck are we doing? Lomu is killing us. Forwards, we must start scrumming. We must disrupt them at the first phase. Can't allow Lomu to get the ball in space.
