South Africa's first black rugby superstar

Chester Williams was a star player of South Africa's rugby world cup winning team of 1995. Rugby had always been seen as a white sport in South Africa, and black rugby fans tended to support anyone but the all-white national team. Chester was the only black player, and the team's success helped unite the Rainbow Nation. (Photo credit: Carl Fourie/Getty Images)
