Natal Rugby’s 1992 Triumph
In 1992, Natal Rugby was a force to be reckoned with. They had strategically recruited exceptional players like fullback Andre Joubert and flyhalf Henry Honiball.

Under the leadership of the tireless flanker Wahl Bartmann, Natal faced a formidable opponent in the Currie Cup Final. Francois Pienaar’s Transvaal team was a powerful unit, but Natal showed grit and determination. Subsequently, they edged out Transvaal with a narrow 14-13 victory at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg.
