Summary

In 1995 South Africa famously won the Rugby World Cup for the first time beating New Zealand in the final. In the aftermath of that final the All Blacks revealed that they were food poisoned in the lead-up to the match. However some kiwis have conceded that the poisoning took place earlier in the week and disrupted preparations whereas other New Zealanders insist their team played the match in a food-poisoned condition. In this episode Peter debunks the latter argument and discusses the myth and its credibility. This podcast originates from the Front Row Rugby YouTube channel!
