Springboks to release sequel to Chasing The Sun documentary after 2023 Rugby World Cup win
Following their triumph at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, the Springboks are set to release a sequel to their acclaimed documentary series, Chasing The Sun.
The original five-part documentary, released in 2020, told the story of the Springboks’ journey to the 2019 Rugby World Cup title, and was praised for its compelling, raw, and emotional portrayal of the team.
Chasing The Sun 2 will tell the tale of how the Springboks went on to clinch the Webb Ellis Cup for a record-breaking fourth time in history, making them just the second Test team ever to win back-to-back titles.
