The highly anticipated premiere of Chasing the Sun 2, the documentary series that follows the Springboks' journey leading up to and during the 2023 Rugby World Cup, finally aired this past weekend. The original Chasing the Sun series captured the Boks' success in the 2019 World Cup, and the first episode of the sequel promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions for the players and coaches. In the episode, viewers get a glimpse into the Springboks' dressing room during the Rugby World Cup semi-final against England.
After a challenging pool stage and a close quarter-final victory over France, the Boks faced England in the semi-finals as clear favorites. However, a passionate speech by Rassie Erasmus at half-time inspired the team to a remarkable comeback, leading to a victory and securing their spot in the finals.
