Ce documentaire en cinq parties est la suite de Chasing the Sun, l’histoire maintes fois primée du parcours des Springboks pour remporter la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2019.

La suite pousse une fois de plus la porte du vestiaire pour donner une perspective unique sur la campagne de conquête du titre, malgré le fait que les Springboks aient eu à faire face au parcours le plus difficile jamais réalisé par une équipe championne.
Les Boks ont enregistré des victoires d’un point dans trois matchs à élimination directe de suite, ce qui les a obligés à se surpasser plus que jamais, jusqu’à la victoire sur la Nouvelle-Zélande qui leur a permis de devenir les premiers quadruples vainqueurs de la compétition.
Chasing the Sun 2 ne se limite pas au rugby, mais touche le cœur de tous les Sud-Africains et, à l’instar des Springboks champions du monde, donne de l’espoir et de l’inspiration à un pays qui doit souvent triompher contre vents et marées.
« Le peuple sud-africain a été une véritable source de motivation pour nous pendant la Coupe du monde et nous avons vraiment joué pour lui », estime l’entraîneur principal des Springboks, Rassie Erasmus.
« Ce documentaire est une façon de rendre à l’Afrique du Sud ce qu’elle nous a donné en partageant notre expérience de l’intérieur, avec toutes ses imperfections. »
Le documentaire est une coproduction entre SuperSport et SA Rugby et raconte une histoire de fierté et de passion, de diversité et de détermination, d’espoir et d’humilité, et finalement de résilience et de persévérance.

« Les Springboks nous ont beaucoup appris sur nous-mêmes en tant que Sud-Africains, sur notre capacité à croire en nous malgré les obstacles et sur ce que nous pouvons accomplir lorsque nous sommes vraiment plus forts ensemble », appuie de son côté Rendani Ramovha, directeur général de SuperSport, le co-producteur.
« Nous sommes incroyablement fiers de pouvoir faire vivre les coulisses à nos téléspectateurs sud-africains passionnés.
« Si vous pensiez que Chasing the Sun était une source d’inspiration, Chasing the Sun 2 vous fera vivre l’ascenseur émotionnel, qui aboutissent à l’une des plus grandes victoires de l’histoire, contre notre plus grand adversaire au rugby : les All Blacks. »
Après Whistleblowers, le documentaire de World Rugby sur les arbitres à la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023, et The wallabies : Inside Rugby World Cup 2023 à partir du 22 février sur Stan (Australie), Chasing the Sun 2 est le troisième grand documentaire sur la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 qui a battu tous les records d’audience jamais réalisés.

Hard to disagree with the 5 points - with the exception that Wilson should be a squad member but, depending on the other loose forward selections, is not yet a shoo-in. McReight is. Aussie is looking a lot better this year and JS has some selection options. Also, Havili’s tendency to get caught, charged down is also a liability at times but he seemed focused (mostly) and is definitely a consideration for utility back-up. Still feel Reihana is a better prospect at 1st five for Saders.

2 Go to commentsThink it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.

5 Go to commentsA great game. The Sharks without Etsebeth are a shadow of the team compared to when he plays. The limitations of Some of the expensive Sharks players are being exposed. Credit to Clermont for some exhilaration play at times.
5 Go to comments100% Mr Owens. But who would want to be a referee.? It must be the most difficult job on earth.
1 Go to commentsStarts to be overdone and oversold this systematic SA narrative…which nevertheless has the merit in this case to recognise blatant refereeing mistakes in their favor
5 Go to commentsNice article. Shades of Steinbeck. They can win the final if they take the game seriously; but only if they take it seriously.
5 Go to commentsWhat a sad way to end a glittering career. Somebody should tell him to delete his social media accounts and face the consequences of what he's done. Then he should slip away quietly into obscurity. This isn't likely to happen, something tells me he'll be back in The Sun / Daily Mail sooner rather than later.
5 Go to commentsguys its fine! he understands why he did what he did and has taken accountability for it; why should he have to be accountable to a court? after all he did was abuse people in person - its not as if he was engaging in _online_ abuse!

1 Go to commentsyou know, i’m a leinster fan so I want Northampton to lose and it is gonna be tuff with Cortney lawes, Alex michell and the other guys🏉 lets go leinster🏉
1 Go to commentsWelcome to the Pro ranks. Those hard teams of old do hit the sole better though. its a dog fight at the top.
6 Go to commentsCan someone fill me in please, I've read a number of Ben Smith articles now and it seems he's got something again South Africa? Surely, this game was over and done with 7 months ago. Can't we have something a bit more interesting and relevant, or is this the calibre of journalist on this site?
238 Go to commentsNot sure what the Welsh are moaning about. They’ve had far more players off England, than England have had off Wales. Guys like Josh Hathaway and Kane James will play for Wales in the end. And they’ll be fsr better players for having played in the Gallagher Premiership, than they ever would have been had they stayed mired in the shambles that is Welsh rugby.
4 Go to commentsThis is all being blown totally out of proportion. First of all, since half the Irish team isn’t Irish - it’s very likely that none of the Irish players said that at all and, thus, we’re not being arrogant. Second, since half the Irish team is Kiwi - it’s very likely the Kiwi players were predicting a NZ SA World Cup final. Which they got spot on. Good on them!
163 Go to commentsAha. An Irishman with logic! Follow the flow: - Ireland peaks with a >80% win record between 2020 and 2023. And then… - crashes out of another QF at the WC; - Beat a poor French Team; - Beat 6N wooden spoonists Italy; - Play shite against eventual wooden spoonists Wales; - Lose against the most boring, “the worst English team ever” , a team widely regarded as unable to attack; - scrape through against Scotland. This article, No - Trimble, is on the money! Except for one glaring statement: _The Springboks have a few aces in the hole in this debate being the reigning world champions and official world number ones_ There is no debate, boys and girls. There it is. In black and white. “Reigning World Champions and OFFICIAL world number ones”. Come July, the overrated Andy Farrell and this overhyped team are going to enter into a world of hurt.
