The documentary on South Africa’s Rugby World Cup success, #Ch asingthesun2, trended on X. This was how people reacted:

I watched the final episode last night and, for most of it, I was in tears. The Bokke really do something for the soul of South Africa. They are the heartbeat of our nation. They remind us that great things can be achieved when we work together towards a common goal. And it is a powerful reminder that our goal is to be stronger together!

My goodness! I got to relive the RWC experience. Thank you to everyone who put together this masterpiece.

Woke up this morning with puffy eyes and still feeling emotional! I am approaching this week with a new sense of purpose, fully prepared to tell people off for talking nonsense about our country. We are truly a special bunch! If only a few more people followed this advice, our country would be unstoppable.

#Chasingthesun2 is the untold story of Rassie’s Bok revolution. Generations past, we were told certain positions in rugby could be played only by players of a certain colour – look at the scrum of the 2007 winning team. 2019 and 2023, the mainstay of the team are players of colour!

A single man coming back to his country in 2018 made all this possible. #Chasingthesun2

If ever you find yourself doubting why Rassie was awarded a doctorate, watch this video and listen to his words. #Chasingthesun2

My car broke down on Glenhove Road today and two separate pedestrian passers-by stopped to ask if I was okay, and two security guards stopped in case I needed a hand to change a tyre. And that’s when my faith in South Africans was validated.

If England won that match, New Zealand would have won the final. Amazing match! England can beat anyone on their day. Morné Steyn and Pollard are the two best clutch goal kickers I have seen. That semi-final was incredible and SA deserved to win the tournament.

Ladies and gentlemen, one more time for the Rugby World Cup Championships! A standing ovation. To the entire Springbok team and management, we thank you. #Chasingthesun2

#Chasingthesun2. Rassie for president! Honestly! The way he got the whole team of @Springboks to buy into those games and our country to back our team. This beautiful land of South Africa and her people deserve better than what we are getting!
