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

@@robhallie I wasn't elegant in the way I put it, you phrased it better.

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.

Tim unless you can afford a private helicopter 🚁 I think you’ll struggle to get from Affies vs Maritzburg College game in Pietermaritzburg to Durban in time for kick-off of Boks 🇿🇦 vs Ireland 🇮🇪 Test. One of my party to Durban test match had to pull out because his son is an Affies schoolboy and they are attending the Maritzburg College derby. Suggestion: watch Grey College vs Grey High (Siya Kolisi’s old school) in Bloemfontein the following Saturday at Grey College (the heart of SA schoolboy rugby) before heading over to the Free State Stadium less than a mile away to catch Boks 🇿🇦 vs Portugal 🇵🇹 test match!

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.

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 ❤

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...

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. 👏👏👏👏

We need the protect this man. His a rugby treasure

Deon Fourie ending the final game as (acting) captain barely 15 months after his Springbok debut, is possibly my favourite story.

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.

We cannot wait to welcome you in South Africa 🙏

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)

Just a pronunciation tip Tim, Boet sounds like Boot, but you have to say it quick, quicker than you think. We also use the word "lekke" which you can use to describe anything nice/pleasant. Pronunciation, lacquer. The food is "lekke". The beer is "lekke". Did you enjoy the rugby? It was "lekke".

The best rugby channel on KZread by an English country mile

Class rugby channel. Clean, honest and transparent on every level 🎉

I am a South African, and Springbok supporter, needless to say. There are two rugby podcasts I follow all the time and, believe me, I checked out all of them since before the WC. Eggchasers is one of them. Your coverage of the WC was brilliant, and I agreed with probably everything you had to say. I vividly recall your feelings and words (even though the game left one almost speechless) in the stadium after the game against Ireland. So spot-on. Yes, I think it was probably the "best" test I have seen. I think "seen" is probably the wrong word; "experienced" is a more appropriate one. Both teams not giving an inch. Incredible. The fact that the Springboks lost is immaterial. My other favourite podcast is Two Cents rugby.

Don’t humanize them too much… it hurts all the more to be run over by really nice humans!!! Love your stuff tim!

Dude, you are a legend and I recon an Honorary South African. You will have a blast in SA. Can’t wait to see the coverage!

Just knew you would love and appreciate Chasing The Sun 2... Thanks Tim - was waiting for a review and hwre it is. Hoping the rest of the Rugby World can see this documentary as well so they can understand the Springboks and South Africa instead of always giving this beautiful rugby nation so much flack and negativity.

We will enjoy these moments when our team is at the top. We know it is cyclical, so must enjoy this. Deon Fourie, a true Cinderella Man! So happy for him.

I like this, Siya could make a run for president and he would be a contender. Most rugby captains couldn’t ever claim that and mean it . The springboks had me so excited in my work clothes at an airport, I acted like a teenager when they walked into the airport lounge

I am a proud South African and rugby plays such a special part of our culture. It brings people together like nothing else. I heard that you want to watch some school rugby as well. You must then definitely have to come to the interschool rugby match between Paarl Gimnasium and Paarl Boys High on the 03/08/2024. A lot of Springboks came from these two schools.

I just have to say your passion for rugby and especially springbok rugby is tangible and as an expat it makes me miss the atmosphere at a rugby match in Durban at the Stadium, thanks for your shows that are so well expressed 👍🏼👊🏼

The best listens to the best, Tim, you are awesome

I love your views on RWC2024 and your honest take on many things. I am very happy that you are to cover to cover Deon Fourie soon in your channel. I cant wait. Though all credit to RE and his management coaching team, also all springbok 2023 players, I am a great admirer of DF during the RWC finals. He displayed awesome battling attitude for a 35+ man. Say special hello to DF, fan from Malaysia working in Kazakhstan.

I finally managed to watch it! It's pretty tough getting hold of it, but I managed. :) Geez, that Bok camp is intense. It just gives you new respect for the players and the coaches. Looking forward to the rest!

Just watched episode 3 and Rassie thinking is next level brilliant, against France the weaknesses he found and training technique.

I was cynical at one point. We Saffas are used to getting the short end of the stick when it comes to international pundits and podcasts. I was suspicious that you might just be pandering to Saffa fans for clicks. I will admit that I was wrong and I apologise. You are a real fan of the game of rugby and you've made an effort to try and understand who the Boks are and what they are about. You get it.

Absolute class, im looking forward to every Sunday for the next episode, with the same feeling I have for a Rugby game coming up the weekend! Season one had me, a 260 pound, 6 feet 2 South African sitting with tears, while watching. The pure emotion and the way we can relate! Just Class!

Your programme and your views are totally unbiased and I really enjoy reading them. You will be very well received in RSA.

The weird thing with Manie is that he strikes his kicks so pure and the miss is consistent. He will fix that. His touchline kicking might be the best in the world. His catch pass and speed might be the best in the world at 10. Only Richie M competes. Big statement but i think its true.

This is the best rugby channel. Love it 🇿🇦

You’re a legend Tim, loved you analysis and meteoric numbers of subscribers during the World Cup. Well deserved and I hope to meet you when you’re in SA at the game in Durban

Can not wait for the next episodes! Now on a Monday we can look forward to the weekend's rugby AND CTS2. No matter what everyday life can throw at us sometimes, rugby and the Bokke will cheer us up

Well presented by you Tim, I enjoy listening to you as well. Do be safe in ZA, however enjoy every moment here!!

Glad it wasn’t just Saffas getting goosebumps! Looking forward to your trips to SA and hearing your reactions to our wonderful country!

I think what Chasing the Sun really shows is how unapologetic South Africa is about how we play rugby. We really don't care what anyone thinks and we will smash and smash and smash until we get through.

Your channel remains the best rugby channel on the web. Thank you Tim, also for your positive comments on our national pride. In a country where so many things are not working, the one standout thing that remains world class is the Springboks. I think everyone acknowledges that in South Africa. All of the best with your trip to SA. Just make sure you seek & follow advice to stay safe here. Make sure you remain in the mainstream areas, and don't attempt to explore dodgy places. I would hate to hear that you got mugged in some remote area. I can't wait to hear your reports on your visit here.

You'll have an amazing time in SA, really happy for you and the experiences you'll get to experience!
