Costume designer
Deborah Hopper
had to bring back the look of 1995 in regard to the Springbok uniforms, since the current teams outfits are not the same: "There is a lot of difference in the uniforms. In 1995, the shorts were much shorter and the jerseys were cut fuller and boxier. And the fabric they used at that time was cotton; now its synthetic. We had to have the fabric specially knitted for us." Hopper and her team also had to duplicate the uniforms of the other teams, including the logos, many of which have also changed (in fact, the Springbok on the South African rugby teams logo is facing the opposite direction from the logo of 1995).
