Rugby The Toughest Sport on Earth. Embrace the CHAOS | Big Jim Show Sam Warburton

Chasing the sun is fire compared to the netflix six nations documentary series.

[@nickysebastianmiller]

In South African television games, there are usually different commentators to accommodate the official language in our contry. As a multilingual spectator, at times, I switch between the language options to listen how different the energy is from English to Afrikaans, isiXhosa and Zulu and I dare say the most entertaining commentators who bring the most energy are the isiXhosa speaking. They bring the energy of what's at stakes and implications of each moment on the pitch. Whether you understand what's said, I'd definitely recommend to take a listen and how they sell the game to everyone watching

[@mvubu6823]

100%

[@wot4922]

Facts. I love the isiXhosa commentary. Pure entertainment.😂💚💛🇿🇦

[@ConnorDelport-ff3dw]

Have no clue what they are saying but isiXhosa is by far the best lol

[@siphesihleoliphant8734]

The loadshedding in Mbombela commentary will forever be goated 😂😂

Chasing the Sun 1 is excellent and they have just started Chasing the Sun 2 - so good.

[@p.i.9685]

im doing a short on my local club atm. We're low on people and trying to get some extra players and helpers. I've been debating if to put anything about injuries in film, you've just given me a great answer! Thank you!!

[@hannesbornman1045]

The WC showcased the best rugby I have ever seen. And somehow people still say rugby is boring and it needs to be sped up. Makes no sense.

[@JTAIT-b7g]

28 minutes of play in an 80 minute game makes no sense to me & will do nothing to attract a wider audience..clearly something had to be done to reduce the amount of time wasting & it has been, bravo WR.

[@business3867]

@@JTAIT-b7g Bravo WR 🤡

[@hannesbornman1045]

@@JTAIT-b7g Yet your statement goes against all the evidence present. More people watched the WC than ever before so clearly rugby is attracting a wider audience. But I have a solution for you, one that you don't even need to wait for. Its called rugby league. Go watch that and leave union pure please

[@JTAIT-b7g]

@@hannesbornman1045 There are constant law changes to rugby Hannes, every year, so what to you mean by "pure"? These particular law changes have been introduced in order to reduce the amount of time wasting as we are now reduced to as little as 27 minutes of actual game time in an 80-minute match..why do you feel so threatened by them?

[@hannesbornman1045]

@@JTAIT-b7g Because I like the way Rugby is. I like the fact that you have half the team of big bulky guys that just smash stuff and you have athletic guys that does the running. If the ball in play time increases you will have to change the makeup of the teams and the big guys wont have a place anymore. Scrums will get watered down. The essence of what makes the game will disappear. All this talk about making the game safer, faster and more commercial inevitably leads to what we have in league. And I don't like league. It's boring

[@WORS06]

NZ🇳🇿 v IRE🇮🇪 and SA🇿🇦 v FRA🇫🇷 QF's was some of the best games of rugby i've ever watched. Chasing the Sun >>>>> Six Nation Netflix Doc

[@grahammitchell5444]

What a brilliant, articulate and erudite conversation. I well remember Martin Johnson getting those stitches beneath his eye; totally visceral!

[@AndrewW-on5si]

Xhosa commentary should be followed. It’s the most passionate commentary in the world!

[@georgeengelbrecht1310]

In a perfect world, Jim is the chairman of World Rugby. His love for the beautiful game, objectivity, intelligence and eloquent way of delivering his thoughts is gold. It's obvious, we are seeing a great rise up. I wish you all the best, you deserve it.

[@oj4249]

Chasing the Sun 2 has all the behind the scenes stuff you’re looking for.

[@mpie1014]

It's not available outside SA. I am in NZ and can't find it anywhere.

[@StretchFletcher]

Jim, you good thing. You get better and better at this all the time. Lekker content, and good guests. And Sam W., what a breath of fresh air. Class. (although he was a pain in the neck when he played us!).

[@Davidvx1468]

Lol watch Chasing The Sun, the boks deliver all those real rugby chills

[@paul-angelopierucci2451]

Brilliant chat lads

[@vuyaniman9440]

The Netflix show looked like an afterthought… chasing the sun gives a lot more insight into the Boks..

[@w00000]

Sam the man!!!! What a player, used to give SA a hard time.

[@Wolfie880]

Jim they should make you the Rugby World Ambassador and get you to tour the world and talk about the game from Auckland New Zealand

[@OmirosChrysanthou-vm1nk]

Jim you are a legend

[@jensenjorgensen3975]

Like others here I can definitely say that the way the "Chasing the sun" documentaries were done is really good. It gives you a lot of behind the scenes foitage, showing you what the players go though behind the game day itself. Also a lot 9f focus on the players themselves and their personal experiences, etc. The netflix series looked like a show put together by someone who do not really understand the game. It was ok but nothing to write home about.

[@MeiA-h9r]

Chasing the Sun 2 First episode out NOW

[@wesleylang172]

Assuming you gents have watched the first chasing the sun series and are keeping up with season 2.

[@shanepeters6174]

Watch chasing the sun,it is brilliant ❤❤❤

[@StaalBurgher0]

Good segment.

[@garylakey5363]

Check Willie Le Roux in 2019 WC with his shoulder

[@alanhughes3070]

Netflix should have an episode just on the verbals during a game...."you're a sh*t Richie McCaw" ...golden banter! 🙂

[@ndipszingani2885]

Chasing The Sun did REALLY well to show insight on that. The Unions and teams need to be more transparent to draw more people into the sport.

[@williambrown5966]

I agree. Plus. The physical sacrifice is massive.

[@GarnetMelville]

Hi Jim, maybe interview Sam again and discuss Chasing the Sun 2 on the back of this interview/discussion, because I really think CtS2 hits ALL the points the two of you hit on here?

[@thecapn_uk8034]

Truly the beautiful game!

[@zootarootoot]

Big Jim....I've been checking 10 times a day every day since sunday for your review of chasing the sun 2 finale.... Maak gou chom....!

Rugby is loved by those who genuinely appreciate the sport,. constantly changing rules to try and attract a new audience does no favour for the millions of fans that love it as it is already. Logic needs to prevail. Its not soccer and it will never be, im not built for rugby but I have followed and ❤ the sport for a good 14 years plus now. Keep it as it is🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@joubertah]

Whatch Chasing the sun

[@glennaston2412]

The people at the top of rugby (WRU, RFU etc) are too obsessed with the output of naysayers on social media. They HAVE to celebrate what rugby is: a physical, combative, gladiatorial sport. Do that, and defy the pc crowd, and rugby will flourish.

[@usarugbyleagueunionfan]

Dude. I’m shocked you said 6 out of 10 for Netflix. I was thinking 9 out of 10. It was so good. I liked Negri talking to his lady and hearing her concern.

[@business3867]

Watch chasing the sun and then compare

[@icefarrow7959]

6 out of 10 is a generous score. Felt more like a 3 or 4. Very artificial and staged. You could tell the players and coaches were forced to talk about stuff, rather than providing genuine discussion.

[@aircongosney]

Yes! KZbin currently leads way in terms of peoples interest in rugby and what they want to see - but world rugby and other corporate types shut them down. The right people are not promoting. Just feel like theres an old boys club who are duped by corporates and getting in the way. It should be for the young up and comers

[@andreduplessis9465]

Watch chasing the sun

[@JannieFourie-n7c]

Rugby at that level is not a contact sport,it's a collision sport.

[@wynandvanzyl8798]

Thank you, guys; please send this podcast to the World Rugby. I am so tired of Neu Zeeland with their league mentality. And I write league because it is an unforgivable sin to call league Rugby.

[@redneckReno]

totally agree that professional Rugby players are underpaid!! The last real contact sport. NFL=WWE. NHL not what it once was.

[@zootarootoot]

Yo, Big Jim... Where CTS2 EP5 review..?

[@gingerninja9334]

Rugby needs to stop apologising for what makes it so brilliant. Promote the controlled violence and aggression of it that people love

[@HeeniKeke]

Violence and aggression isn’t what people pay to see. People want to see exciting rugby and tries

[@thabomazwayi4422]

There is too much of a push to make like NRL. These sports are similar here and there but the actual flow of the game is completely different. Rugby is already faster compared to 10! years ago. And the best unions and nations have never been so close in terms of competitiveness

[@redneckReno]

Save the story telling for the silver screen. I'm interested in the game. My team and the outcome!

[@keithonlife]

@jimhamilton @rugbypass do commentary or summize the Chasing the Sun stuff .... maybe ask SuperSport for access on special report or something, call Netflix up and tell them to buy it and learn from SS how to do it .... the concepts you ugys are talkng about are in Chasing the Sun but as you ay even tehy could be done better ... but Rassies half time talk to Boks in Eng semi is chilling ...!!

[@jurgensdejager3096]

They must go learn from the producers of chasing the sun 1 and 2, now showing in South Africa, has everything you guys are talking about

[@willempretorius6700]

Then WR wants to turn it into a ballet with the new rule changes.

[@omegadivingacademy7937]

Look what They did for Formula 1 racing. All of a sudden the USA is filling up the open spots. I have also seen how KZbin reactions have increased in the USA........ hello!!!

[@tobysmeiman6921]

Soon rugby will be a game for softies unless WR get some logic into their decision making which has become woke.

[@julianshore6909]

Tougher than MMA?

[@ShanePienaarEdge]

You want to show injuries with Rugby wanting to make it the softest sport of all time. The North doesn't even tackle till they 12. The bunch up there is ruining the game and world rugby will change it to tag rugby!!! League they embrace the hit. World rugby is ruining the game!!!

It really is not.
