Fresh claims that the All Blacks were deliberately poisoned before the 1995 Rugby World Cup final against the Springboks in South Africa.

This, from Rory Steyn - who was the chief bodyguard to President Nelson Mandela.

Mr Steyn believes betting syndicates were behind the poisoning that led to the All Blacks losing the final 15-12.

He claims their drinking water was poisoned.

Rory Steyn doesn't believe anyone involved with South African rugby played a part in the poisoning, but money and betting syndicates were behind the plot.

He is in New Zealand to talk about his time as Nelson Mandela's chief bodyguard and is speaking at the TEDx event in Auckland on Friday.
