#1995reunited: Relive the Rugby World Cup final on Twitter

The 1995 squad, the South African Rugby Union (SARU), SuperSport and Twitter have come together to create a unique event to mark the 20th anniversary of the winning of the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
At precisely 3PM, SuperSport 1 will re-broadcast the final (at its original kick-off time 20 years ago) while simultaneously the squad will begin tweeting their memories of the match and day.
The players and management will be at Emirates Airline Park (formerly Ellis Park) as part of their anniversary get-together and will be watching the match en masse and sharing their memories with followers.
A Twitter Tsunami is expected across South Africa as supporters tune into television and social media to relive the day the future of the country was re-written. The match will also be re-broadcast on SuperSport 1 at 8PM on Wednesday with additional commentary from the squad.
To be part of one of the social media events of the year supporters should follow the event through the hashtag #1995reunited and follow @Springboks for behind the scenes coverage.
Amongst the 1995 team's verified accounts are Marius Hurter/@hurtenator; James Small/@JamesTerenceSm1; Chester Williams/@chessi_11; Morne du Plessis/@MDuPlessisSSI; Kobus Wiese/@4KobusWiese; Krynauw Otto/@krynauwotto; Joel Stransky/@stranners; Joost van der Westhuizen/@9Joost and Andre Joubert/@15Jouba.
