South Africa is a sport mad nation. Yet, rugby has always been racialised and even today, who makes the team remains a contentious issue. In the Eastern Cape, the Watson brothers and a handful of white friends, joined Kwaru (the black Kwazakele Rugby Union). As word of the non-racial team spread, there were alarmed reactions, death threats and the then Minister of Sport, Piet Koornhoff tried to prevent a much-publicised game with the mixed team. This absorbing slice of sporting history is told through archive footage and interviews with former Kwaru players, and apartheid-era rugby stalwarts such as Morne du Plessis and Dr. Danie Craven.
