This one has it ALL. Including maybe the greatest 40 minutes of rugby ever played. My thoughts on the 3rd installment of Chasing the Sun 2

That humble man working in the butchery with Kurt-Lee Arendse who asked him to help this young man. ❤❤❤ These are the South African heroes we don’t see who ALL contributed to back-to-back World Cup wins! And the man icing Siya Kolisi’s knee all hours of the night while he slept….. That is the spirit of our country when we come together. xxxx

I think this was the moment that all rugby lovers who suspected Rassie was a genius were proved wrong because the episode upgraded him to MAD genius. Honestly, I don't think even he knows where all of the ideas come from. Numbing down the players with speakers for an entire week is one thing, but the decision on the mark was something no one ... as in no one in coaching history would've even considered, as in losing 40 meters in the process why would they? But the mad genius calling refs and plotting and scheming with energy levels and stats, then actually having the balls to do it in a QF of a World Cup takes him to that level of mad genius ... just brilliant.

Every time Makazole opens his mouth, I cry. Every time I see him getting embarrassed for some of the attention he is getting from the public, I cry. Watching him with his injury, knowing he has to leave, I cried. Knowing that the only family he has is the 56 million people who will gladly be his brother / sister / parent / uncle / aunt.. I cry. And that's just one player. Then you quickly understand through this series, the bond that these players have, the hardship and worries they have, what they have done to get there and how they are going to hang on with every fibre of their bodies, watching Deon dealing with a very sick father or even RG choosing to run the extra distance so Kurt Lee has someone to celebrate with after the Scotland try, Duane's family talking about him, Kurt Lee working in a butchery, Siya going through what he did to get back to fitness.... There are no reasons NOT to cry!

The language that all those emotive lines is isiXhosa (the Xh is a click that you can learn by watching some videos...). The way they are speaking comes from the praise song culture and is absolutely magnificent. If you listen to it even without subtitles, it gives you chills. Those descriptions at the capping ceremony, and the bit about "son of Libbok" etc. give you an idea of how gorgeous their use of language is. Look up some videos of the isiXhosa commentary for an experience of it.

The Boks are the biggest celebs in South Africa, bigger than TV / movie stars / musicians / etc. But they also put a lot back into the game. A few weeks ago Ox Nche was at my nieces primary school, all the way in a different province, and not one of his junior schools, just to celebrate the school now offering rugby as a sport.

I think Rassie is quietly chuffed that Felix has made such a name for himself that he has now been able to continue his evolution with England. And it won’t be too long before we see him as head coach at a top club and thereafter RWC before his career is over. I think it’s these small things, like spotting talent and helping it bloom, which gives Rassie deep and private satisfaction - far more than lifting the Cup, which, by his own admission is merely the cherry on top.

So the supporters that arrived at the stadium for the boks final training session are the "Gwijo squad". Famous group of supporters in SA who sing / chant war cries during games. They arrived on the week of the QF specifically for that game ( Seeing as Boks would've faced NZ or FR and this knockout game was guaranteed for the boks, the SF and FN weren't). Biggest games of the tournament for us. They were pivotal in my view.

Tim you need to read Rassie’s book or listen to audiobook. He used the playing opposition crowd noise to team during training preparation as long ago as 2005 when he played Loftus crowd noise & songs to Free State Cheetahs in preparation for Currie Cup final, which Free State subsequently won for the second time only and the first time since 1976!

@@orlandosadie6283 yes their best game of the tournament. I cheered for their tries but was low-key wishing they'd score no more in case the Boks don't go through due to points diff lol!...But them praying together was the moment of the game for me and to be honest I was anticipating it even before the game started because I knew the Boks are the only team who prays as a collective with PI teams. I later read an article about it and Grant Williams shared that the Tongan team asked if they could pray for the Boks knowing it was their last pool match before the playoffs, and they actually prayed that the Boks will be successful in all 3 finals - how about that? I was frustated because our local tv broadcast cut to the ads before the actual moment and only got to see the pics of them praying hours later on the internet. Seeing them pray together cemented my belief that the Boks will go back go back. So while the rest of the teams had another game the Boks on their bye-week perfected their pounce for the playoffs and those teams still don't know what hit them.

I've probably watched each episode 3 times, and each time I am crying my eyes out. There are no words that can explain what the Springboks mean to our country. It's far beyond a sport and anything I have ever experienced. They create pure magic. The feeling they bring us is so overwhelming with deep pride and hope. Winning the World Cup in 1995 and experiencing how 1 team, 1 game, 1 competition could literally change the heartbeat of a country was back then life-changing, and still is. Thank you for covering these episodes, It's awesome to hear your perspective on this and to see how others who are not South African appreciate the Springboks and their journey as much as we all do back home.

Great review, you got my subscription a long time ago… one thing that you pointed out is that you can’t wait to see a schools game when in SA on a previous episode. I think you will be blown away by the sheer depth of Rugby in South Africa and the volume of talent. Traditionally South Africa has been a football country in terms of the greater population. However Rugby has over the last 7 years literally finally become a major sport in Black communities to the extent that whereas in the past you would only see football being played in the townships by kids now you genuinely see kids ( of their own accord) playing rugby. There is no longer any need for quotas in Rugby as there’s such a massive volume of all children playing the game naturally there is no longer a need for quotas. Why you see the Australians and New Zealanders go on about trying to change the rules to make it more like League is simple. They know that they are literally going to be blown away by the sheer volume of of talent. Remember South Africa has a population of 62 million … that’s thought the same size as the UK and France. ( That’s basically double and some of Australia and 10 times that of New Zealand) … There are only 2 codes of football .. Association (soccer) and Rugby Union … Rugby League simply does not has not and never will exist in SA. If as I believe Rugby Union even equals soccer in popularity that means you have 30 million people to choose from …. Compare that to the UK or France where Rugby is minuscule as you point out in comparison to soccer …. It means that no country as it stands will have the sheer depth of talent … The Bomb Squad was not an abnormality it literally shows the depth that South Africa has. To use a soccer analogy countries like Brazil, Argentina, Italy, and Germany only have one version of football in reality … as a result they are the only countries that have won 3 or more World Cups because they have the “production” line of youngsters just being churned out , no matter how many ways you look at it New Zealand with a population of 6 million ( even with the Pacific Islanders) will never ever be able to realistically compete against a population of 60 million in terms of talent over the long run. Ironically the only reason that historically South Africa hasn’t obliterated everyone was because Rugby was restricted to 10% of the population. Now that it has at least 70% of the population supporting it the Antipodeans are desperately trying to change it into the sport they play “League“ but even that will not work. Go back into history on other sports .. in the 50s/60s Australia and New Zealand has the best middle/long distance runners … then East African Countries started being able to compete … game over!

Chasing the sun became very relevant and literal today 8 April Love the way how Rassie empowered the 3 big dawgs to encourage unity in the team context. Duane's comment to Rassie on the Wednesday to stop the speaker anthem at training was hilarious. Rassie the water boy, technics guys what's next?

Tim,thanks for a great show.and thanks for getting promoting the show.ive got family all over the world and theyve told me how rugby fans have come to hate the boks and they way we play.which hurts us. besides,if JK or some of those"pundits"had there way we would end up with something boring and monotonous.south africans know,its our differences that make us great.I love all the nations styles and cultures.no other sport has so many flavours.glory to the game.and to the irish fans on their way to the south,come thirsty.get ready to drink some brannas. Again Tim,thank you

I adore how much so many people hate the Springboks for their "boring style" and "bringing nothing to the Union table". Rassie and the Boks happily win World Cups and innovate away with rugby documentaries, out of the box thinking in terms of on field plays, team selections, mind games with the opposition and their own team, all while keeping true to their main aim, giving our land something to cheer about. They know what life is like here for so many and they will do what it takes to bring smiles to SA faces. Let the pundits continue to whine about 7-1 and 8-0 and let the fans whine about 1 point victories and Ben O'Keefe and let French tears water their fields instead of the "impure blood of their enemies" (damn, France, maybe take a look at your national anthem).

I too couldnt wait to hear your take and you did us proud Timmo. You touched on every relevant point from team talks from Rassie , covering spy cameras to tactics and that beat box with Rassie blasting out at practise ..all adding up to an amazing story with a fantastic ending ..Big thumbs up

if im not wrong, the shot clock libbok let run down was when o'keefe was double checking the try with the tmo, and had to restart the clock, but it didnt restart on the big screen. can hear him after asking the tmos to run get the clock restarted on the big screen

It was sad to explain to my gf that the scrum move was outlawed after the RWC after chasing the sun did such a good job of explaining why they did it

I think this documentary shows the outside world how much rugby means to Saffas. We can say it but people dont understand it until they see it. And when they see it they still only get a glimpse. Thank you for the great content.
