CHASING THE SUN 2 | EPISODES 1&2 REVIEW

What the Netflix 6 Nations Series COULD HAVE been. Absolutely class bit of work telling the story of the Springboks at the Rugby World Cup, the players AND the nation of South Africa.

Best rugby podcast ever. From a Bok fan

[georgebrandon]

You have become a person well loved in South Africa🇿🇦

[GratLove]

My heart went out to Manie Libbok watching the 1st episode because i remember blaming him for all the missed kicks and lost points.
While the fans are being so passionate about winning... forgetting there is a human on that field who has dreams and also wants to win for his country.... im so glad the documentary goes into a back story of players

Deon Fourie's mother was my son's gimnastics coach. She helped him win 1st place at the SA schools championship. If you meet his mother you will understand so much about the man. She is a wonderful, strong woman that instilled discipline and selfrespect in everything she taught the children. I hope you fall in love with our wonderful country because it IS something special. I also hope you will have time to sit around a bushveld fire and look up at the southern cross. If you want an opportunity to go hunting (on the house) we live about an hour and a half from Pretoria between Brits and Tabazimbi and can arrange something for you because I love your channel and never miss and episode.

This 2nd season is even better than the first. 2019 was an unexpected win. In 2023 the whole country was desperately hoping the boks would win again. The pressure was immense.

[ryanmatthews]

I think we need to make you an honorary Saffa! You're gonna love SA's people, passion for life, and rugga, and the beauty of the land.

[TheLinzitoPodcast]

There is a reason why Eggchaser & Big Jim are loved in SA. You guys are genuine, unbiased and have an authentic interest in our country

[seank]

I have been lucky enough to go to SA 3 times and believe me the passion you see outside the country is nothing compared to what it is like in the country. As a Leicester fan I was immediately recognised because of the shirt and that was the catalyst for people wanting to talk purely about rugby and what is means in SA. Have a fab time

[ladybugm]

Yay! You are going to love SA. No one understands what rugby is to South Africa, also showcases how passionate South Africans are. I've travelled the world and South Africans are just different, special.

Gutted I can’t watch this here in Ireland. The Springboks resilience in the face of all challenges in that World Cup really impressed. Things I thought couldn’t work, worked. Players I thought were too old outperformed their younger counterparts. Tactics I thought limited we so nuanced. The most exiting and best games of RWC involved mine and their teams. World champs v Number 1 in world. Even now I’m salivating at the thought of the June tests. Back to back world champs and number 1 in world v 6 Nations champs and number 2 in world. The rivalry developing between Ireland and South Africa can’t be overhyped enough. It’s definitely one Rasi wants to put rest and but one we’ll want to continue.

[gershwanhartogh]

There's a reason why Eggchaser rugby is the best...give this man his flowers

[lizbalaam]

Im South African. We have seen the whole series. Its brilliant. You will be most welcome when you visit our country.

[leonfortuin]

As a proudly South African I can't help but get emotional watching this. ❤

[GarethAsch]

i so appreciate the passion and respect you (and Jim Hamilton) have for SA rugby, while we receive lots of disrespect from Matt Williams, John Kirwan and the IRB etc...

[njabulov.hadebe]

its hard to watch this documentary without crying - f*** its impossible

[pennythebus]

You are such a wonderful story teller. Love your feeds. I met Deon in a shop after the world cup.. boy what a humble man so proud of them. My BLOOD IS GREEN 💚 I tell you a proud South Africa.. Captonian

[fedoremelianenkothelastemp]

You are the fastest growing rugby channel because you say it how it is and are unbiased in your views. You know your rugby, you love your rugby and you say what you see and feel without trying to be controversial with a balanced opinion.

[KO.....]

For me the big takeaway from the doccie S1 annd S2 is the honesty in the entire setup, from the coaches to the players. Everyone is accountable, and everyone is heard. That is the foundation of the strength of the Boks. It forces everyone to put feelings aside for the bigger picture and what a bigger picture it is. 👏👏👏👏

[auggoggel]

Tim, your commentary on this South African film effort is so refreshing, compared to some UK journalism last year around the "Kant" episode. Imagine a journalist actually trying to understand what makes South Africans tick, warts and all, bloody history and all! Priceless! I had to leave the "cry the beloved country" 22 years ago for survival reasons, but I'm so excited for you to go and meet the "salt of the earth" people there from all ethnicities, you will return richer in your soul. If only, if only, the story of the 'Boks and their teamwork to success can be cloned for all areas of life in dear old RSA. Thanks, "Boet". (Afrikaans for Brother -my honourary title for you)

NOTHING has encapsulated the dawn of Nelson Mandela 's South Africa, as much as our rugby has.
The love, joy, laughter, and sharing of a common goal join South Africa on a level that must be seen and experienced to believe.
All the rhetoric of politicians that seek to divide us is kicked into touch, and we stand united as an example to the world. This makes me proud of our magnificent country. This makes me proud to be a South African ❤
