What’s next for the Springboks and Bettors: Chasing The Sun 2
The World Cup had plenty of iconic, memorable and history-breaking moments. The Springboks’ road to World Champions was one of resilience, including the team overcoming daunting challenges. The first significant hurdle came early when the Boks were placed in Pool B and faced a horrific group with two of the top five nations in the world, Ireland and Scotland. After seeing off the Scots in the opener in Marseille, the Irish were next in store. In a match that pitted two leading nations, the Irish claimed victory and compounded the Boks to a tough Quarterfinal against home nation France.
The Quarterfinal was one for the ages and considered the best Rugby game ever. In the end, the Boks prevailed 29-28. Against a hostile home crowd, the Boks showcased nerves of steel and left everything mentally and physically on the pitch for the entire 80 minutes.
A grudge rematch of the 2019 Rugby World Cup Final saw the Springboks take on England in the semis this time. A remarkable final twelve minutes saw the Boks come back from the dead and break the hearts of the English with a 16-15 win. The final and the most memorable moment of the 2023 Rugby World Cup saw the Boks come up against Old Foes New Zealand. After an excruciating 80 minutes, which were packed with hard hits, plenty of blood left on the field and fluctuating emotions, the Boks triumphed and claimed a narrow 12-11 victory.
A historic World Cup for the Springboks, which saw them placed in the hardest Pool, facing the top six teams in one tournament, beating the host nation in their backyard, and winning their Quarterfinal, Semifinal and Final by just a point, culminated with the team lifting the Webb Ellis Cup for a record-setting fourth time.
After the Springboks’ success in France, more good news was in store as it was announced that the second documentary of “Chasing The Sun” was in the works and will be released in 2024. Following the incredible success of the first documentary, “Chasing The Sun”, which chronicled the Springboks journey to victory in the Rugby World Cup 2019, Boks fans and bettors are getting another behind the scenes glimpse into the Springboks and their journey to defending their Rugby World Cup Crown.
The 2019 “Chasing The Sun” documentary was a truly emotional and powerful watch which enthralled viewers with the highs and lows of the Springboks journey, culminating with success in Japan. “Chasing The Sun” in 2024 will delve further into the Springboks’ inner workings and explore the team’s values, strategies and principles. Viewers will watch interviews with players, coaches, and management and have access to training sessions, meetings and some behind-the-scenes aspects of players’ personal lives.
The Springboks are more than just a Rugby team; they ignite hope for all South Africans and aim to unify the Rainbow Nation through teamwork and dedication. “Chasing The Sun” in 2024 will unite South Africa and serve as a source of inspiration for many to overcome whatever challenges they face.
“Chasing The Sun 2” in 2024, the long journey into how the Springboks successfully defended their Rugby World Cup Crown and consequently led hundreds of people to win money off the bets placed on the Boks to win, is one not to be missed.
