WATCH: Trailer for highly-anticipated Springboks’ World Cup documentary ‘Chasing The Sun 2’ released
The official trailer for the eagerly anticipated documentary following the Springboks during the 2023 Rugby World Cup has been released.
The documentary series, ‘Chasing The Sun 2’, is the second of its kind following the Boks during the global event after the hugely successful docu-series from the 2019 World Cup.
It will hit South Africa’s screens in March 2024.
Chasing The Sun 2 trailer and official release date
South African broadcaster SuperSport released the trailer of the documentary sequel, giving fans a sneak peek into what they can expect.
It features a rousing and foul-mouthed speech from Springboks back-rower Pieter-Steph du Toit, as well as a meeting where Rassie Erasmus addresses the squad.
Former Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber, fly-half Handre Pollard, assistant coach Mzwandile Stick and hooker Bongi Mbonambi also feature in the trailer.
This is the third peek into the documentary that SuperSport has released as hype for the series continues to build.
“It doesn’t matter what happens on March 24, 2024. On social networking platform X, which was once known as Twitter, a fan said, “My phone will be off, and I’ll be watching this.”
Another fan, meanwhile, is excited to witness the discussions around team selections during the competition. Manie Libbok is remembered for being left out of the matchday squad for the World Cup final against New Zealand, with Pollard being chosen in his place.
“I’m very much interested in watching the thought process around dropping Libbok for the RWC final, his and other players’ reactions, and the aftermath of dropping him midway against England,” the post stated.
Other sneak peeks
As mentioned above, this is the third look into the documentary series, the first featured captain Siya Kolisi speaking about the Springboks players all coming from different backgrounds and fighting for one goal.
The second snippet featured now-retired back rower Duane Vermeulen – who has now joined South African Rugby’s coaching ranks – as well as Jesse Kriel, Steven Kitshoff, Canan Moodie, RG Snyman, Libbok, Cheslin Kolbe and Damian Willemse.
The first Chasing The Sun documentary series was a massive hit in South Africa and currently has a 9.6 rating on IMDb
