The entertainment and rugby worlds are united this week ? waiting with bated breath to see exactly what Clint Eastwood, Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman have in store for us with their new movie 'Invictus'.

South Africa, having only just emerged from apartheid, hosted rugby's biggest event, the World Cup, in 1995 ? a monumental occasion for the country and one which, even if they didn't know it at the time, would go a long way in helping to mend the pains of the past.

Political hero Nelson Mandela, president of South Africa at the time, turned to a group of predominantly white South African rugby players, led by Francois Pienaar, and asked them to win a World Cup for their people.

It was a task that few would have imagined was possible but it was one which Madiba and Pienaar were determined to accomplish.

Of course, the big debate is over who should play what role in the film. Morgan Freeman was the obvious choice for Mandela. Having played God in previous movies the Oscar winner has proved his class in difficult roles.

What about the Springbok team though? Eastwood, the director of the soon-to-be Hollywood blockbuster, kept his international stars to a minimum but we fancy he could have amassed a truly world class lineup had he wanted to...

Take a look at how we would have cast the 1995 World Cup team...

15 Andre Joubert: The Rolls Royce of fullbacks, and who better to play him than one of the steamiest actors of all time, Roger Moore. They both have that refined look and good ol' Jouba always seemed to have a James Bond-like trick up his sleeve whether it was spending time in a decompression chamber or playing a World Cup Final in a specially-created protective glove.

14 James Small: Who better to play the original wildman of South African rugby than Hollywood's wildest, Irishman Colin Farrell? The beauty, here, of course, is that Farrell wouldn't have to act much to be like Small and being Irish means he ought to know a thing or two about the game...

13 Japie Mulder: The powerful centre made a name for himself by putting the heat on the 'impossible to stop' Jonah Lomu? only one man could do this role justice? a man who does not sleeps, he waits? a man who can lead a horse to water AND make it drink? Chuck Norris.

12 Hennie le Roux: While he may be unpredictable at times the 'Iron Man', Robert Downey Jnr. could definitely have fitted the bill - delivering his shouts of 'Come On Boys' with timing and class.

11 Chester Williams: Denzel Washington, Cuba Gooding Junior and LL Cool J are all contenders but after seeing Washington get ripped for his moving portrayal of boxer Rubin Carter in 'The Hurricane' it just had to be him!

10 Joel Stransky: He might not really look like him but it's Hollywood so that really doesn't matter does it? Young superstar Zac Efron is an American Golden Boy - who better to fill the big boots of the Springbok No.10? Of course he's also got plenty of dance experience so learning to slot over a drop goal shouldn't be too difficult for him.
