Chasing the Sun 2 finale reveals the emotional journey and challenges faced by the Springboks en route to their 2023 World Cup victory.
The gripping finale of Chasing the Sun 2 not only showcased the incredibly tense week leading up to the Springboks’ victory over New Zealand in the 2023 Rugby World Cup final but also shed light on the emotionally taxing campaign that led to their historic triumph.
Captain Siya Kolisi also voiced his frustration with the English media’s handling of the situation, saying, “The English media, they’re so f****d up. They asked whether I’d spoken to Tom Curry and no one asked me anything about Bongi.”Another critical aspect of the Springboks’ preparation for the final was the composition of their bench.
This decision was met with mixed reactions from the players, with Cobus Reinach expressing his disappointment: “What? My f*k! It was probably the toughest day of my career. I had a few minutes to feel sorry for myself and get over it.” Kolbe expressed his anguish after his yellow card, saying, “I felt like I dropped the whole nation and my team-mates. It was a dark moment for me because I looked up to the clock and there were 72 minutes gone and I knew I wasn’t going back onto the field.”
