Chasing the Sun
It's a story for the ages – a team battered and bruised, with very little prospect of victory at an international championship, rises from the ashes to take the coveted crown.
That was the case for the Springboks in 2019 when they reclaimed the Rugby World Cup Championship trophy. Now, Chasing the Sun – a metaphor for the journey and five-part documentary series – tells the incredible tale of the Springboks’ unstoppable climb to glory as they lifted the Webb Ellis Cup.
Stream the story of the Springboks' struggle in the Rugby World Cup on Showmax.
