Springboks forward Jasper Wiese has shared what is more important to South Africa's rugby team than the World Cup trophy itself. Ahead of the release of Chasing The Sun 2, Wiese has revealed what fueled the team to retain their global crown. "The trophy is an empty cup," Wiese said. He emphasized that the inspiration the team provides is what truly sets the Springboks apart.

The journey to winning the World Cup was filled with challenges, but the team's unwavering commitment to their country and community drove them to success.
