You were my wife and I's go-to voice during the World Cup and we love your content to bits. Thanks for everything. We're looking forward to your travels in our country soon! Side note: I will attempt to put a voice in the ear of one of the producers with regards to Deon. I can't promise anything, obviously, but I will try! Gotta roll the dice, hey?

@marchennink838613 күн бұрын
The phrase “we know what they don’t know” originated from Dricus’ UFC title winning fight where he said “Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie”, which is the Afrikaans translation. After the fight he reflected on why exactly he said those words as he didn’t rehearse it and it was spontaneous. They were words he has never said or specifically thought of prior. As South Africans a lot of us knew exactly what he meant without an explanation needed. You cannot explain the mindset to adversity and the challenges we face to anyone that isn’t South African. IMO the way South Africans find a way to make something work and get things done in spite of the challenges is a trait inherent to our nation.

Well said. I was sitting there watching this video thinking how Tim's explanation still missed it. It is not just for the nation. Sure, playing for the nation is part of it, but that is the same for all the other national rugby teams. This remark is collective yet personal to the core. Every snarky comment. Every embarrassing defeat. Every derision received. Every hardship suffered. You will know it once you've endured it. You carry it with you. It is ingrained into your character as a South African. They don't know what we know because they haven't lived what we lived.

Tim, you are possibly the most honest, down-to-earth creator of rugby content on this platform. You have style. No one else talks about "earning" our subscription, but you do. I've been following your commentary for some months now and I have finally subscribed. You earned it. And I don't mean that to be patronising or condescending at all. It just happened that way. I am a South African and a die-hard Springbok supporter and I love the way you place balance before everything you say. I like the fact that you are real, the little quirks you have when you present. Your calm demeanour, no noise, no sensationalism, no hype - just plain commentary. You and your channel are a class act. Well done - you have earned my respect too. And it's not because you have so many good things to say about the Boks and everything and everyone that stand behind them, although I won't deny that it makes us feel good. It's because you say what you think and feel, honestly and with no fanfare - just say it. That's class. Keep it up. Enjoy your trip to South Africa later this year and I wish you and your channel the very best any creator could wish for. Salute!

That's because they don't know what we know! I love rugby and I'm so proud of this documentary and the Boks. I'm already fired up for the Irish test series.

It was impossible to ignore the buzzing energy everywhere around you and, despite not being a fan of rugby, I am a proud South African and will always support this country in achieving greatness. Since then I've read Rassie's book and watched the second Chasing the Sun documentary, and my respect for the game has only grown. I don't think I'll ever be a die-hard supporter, but I think it is impossible not to have rugby running through your veins when it is so vital and important for this country - when it literally represents hope for so many. I've been following your channel as well, and I really enjoy it. I hope to get tickets for my dad for the NZ vs Springboks game in Cape Town, since he is a huge rugby fan.

My 12 year old son favourite part of the Episode is Jacques Nienaaber speech. Some of these kids were not meant to be there, because of their circumstances. It teaches and reminds us all again, that where you start is not where you finish. Life is not linear. All the detours on the way serve to make you stronger, add to your toolbox for the future. BE ALWAYS EXCELLENT IN WHAT YOU DO. BE READY AND PREPARED FOR WHAT YOU ARE STRIVING FOR. You never know how and where your opportunity will come or who is watching you. Rassies closing comments about South Africa our Country and remember who we are and capable of as a country. I will not speak ill of it, but what can I do to make it what we all know is capable of. Forget the politicians, but what we as citizens can do at grass root levels. Also, wow was I wrong about Jacques Nienaaber. The narrative in the Media and public at large, was the Coach was Rassie, but Jacques was playing his second fiddle. My word were we wrong. The man was the Man. Love how Rassie had so much trust in his Coaching Staff. Wow. The media focused on Rassie, but the coaches were focused on the job. My sadness is that this Doccie is not available to the rest of the country. It's needed.

'hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie' - They don't know what we know A classic statement from UFC Champion, Dricus du Plessis who won his title around the same time “It’s a statement that even though we’re underdogs, even though we don’t have what all these big countries have… we have all these challenges [and] it doesn’t really matter.” The CHESLIN moment was an exact copy of what happened to Mark Andrews in the 1995 World Cup. Kitch Christie and Morne du Plessis called him in to ask if he could play flank. He said no. Went back to his room and realised he messed up and was going to be dropped. They called him back and asked if he could play 8. He said he was very happy to, played it at school... even though he hadn't!! The rest is history. The Dwayne moment was a link back to him losing his dad as a young boy.

The take-out for me was the speech "that none of them should be here"...that each of them at one stage or another in their lives had told someone, told "them", what they could do with themselves and wrote their own story and made their own journey in getting here. Now being encouraged to go on that field and carry on their narrative was just brilliant. What motivation. That is fire in your soul. As the All Blacks found - impossible to beat. The All Blacks come back story from their annihilation at Twickenham is also remarkable and it is a pity that they didn't a documentary. The same can be said with England. I guess these come backs we put that down to the characters who play this game. Gladiators.

The previews, squad announcements, the power rankings. The excellent work you did bringing the World Cup alive from France. I’m a South African born boy, who watched South Africa win the 1995 World Cup. And to see how much Rugby means to all South Africa. After winning back to back World Cups with this incredible Team. I hope you get the opportunity to bring Deon on, and all the other stars while on your visit. You deserve it, just for the great work you do. Thank you Tim.

Love Eggchasers. My go to channel for real honest answers to rugby questions. As excited I was, I was sad to see the closing final episode of Chasing the sun 2 last night but let me tell you something. The anticipation and the excitement of waiting for the episode during this last week, was on a par with my feelings during the world cup last year. I was on the "regte kant" of happy exited emotions. The reminder of the journey was and is so welcome. I had forgotten about the Bongi Curry slur. In so doing reminded that this world isn't perfect and its these kind of imperfections that make it all so entertaining for me. I'm also reminded how easy it is for the innocent to be "court" up in the systems we have and burnt at the stake for crimes they are simply not guilty of. We all should take a moment to really look deep into our behavior patterns and why we choose what we choose. Anger and aggression over love and kindness for example. Or not. Spending time on this is really a choice but I digress, so sorry for that jabber. There are a couple of strong life lesson I take from watching this brilliantly put together roller coaster of emotions project, Chasing the Sun 2. 1: if you work hard and focus, and really put in extra effort, and if you are humble you can and will achieve greatness. 2: If you assemble the right people in the right places achieving the impossible is within your grasp. 3: Having the right management team is just as important as the team. So choose well. 4: Love and kindness go along way in achieving common goals 5: Working together is the answer. That shot of Rassie emotional at the airport during the teams arrival back into SA. The reception he and the team received which sparked this emotion. I only wish in my life that I can experience even just a piece of the level of pride I witnessed in the sum of all the parts leading up to this exquisite highly unique Rassie moment. How truly remarkable. I thank the producers of this project for taking me on this journey. I thank the players for writing their own script and striving for and achieving greatness. The story that is the journey to holding the Web Ellis trophy aloft as champions is so much bigger than a rugby teams back to back world champion repeat and becoming champions for a record 4th time. It's the journey each and every South African is on. The road we have traveled and the road we are traveling. What we see and what we feel in this country. The hardships my captain speaks of and the day to days struggles of a nation under a government holding it's citizens to ransom for greed and personal gain. It's how each of us connect to the knowledge that we truly have the most glorious country in the world and that with the right management (see what I did there?) we can all benefit from our land and it's abundance. The conundrum that is a mismanaged country can be rectified. Just like PSDT said, "everyone is fucking scared. If you afraid say so. We make a fucking plan." The motivation of the man. The truth. We have to help each other and work together to beat the cancer in our country and that means educating the voter. Each and everyone of you South Africans should be doing something to help educate the voter leading up to the immanent election. Flooding social media with reasons to not vote ANC and EFF without being condescending for example. Just relay your truth. I don't have the answer as to what the future holds but I can see what has happened, what is happening and that if nothing changes, it'll only get worse. So if you want a better home for you and your family, start working hard, together toward it. Yes I'm scared but shit, I want change. Look out for my video post. It's coming very soon. Can't wait to see yours. The emotion Rassi felt at the airport that I speak above and of wanting a little bit of it; imagine we work together and change our leadership and this country becomes the kind of country we all know it can be. A true example to the world of a fantastic place to live where the people work together like the Springbok Rugby team showed us. One for all it's citizens. I want that and I know, I really really know so do you. Like any great TV series. Leading the audience toward the idea of a sequel is the formula used by Hollywood and as such the rest of the world. There is no exception to Chasing the sun 2. Chasing the sun 3. I can't wait to see how that project unfolds. Patience Antony. Patience.

The english press isn't good at anything other than spreading lies and misinformation.
Positivity, wot?
I agree, Tim is brilliant and has such a positive influence on rugby and how we should view it in that way. He has also influenced me to look at Owen Farrell as a great competitor that we should respect despite our biases.
We in South Africa would like to request England to send Felix Jones back😢
We can make a trade we will give them Jake white
YES he was amazing
Rassies mentorship is churning out some serious rugby IQ for the future. Nienaber and Jones are products of that and will go on to have hugely impressive careers for sure.
Rassie’s just sent him to get experience abroad, he’ll be a Bok coach for sure in the future. For sure.
His confidence and knowledge grew immensely since 2019. Good man 💚💛🇿🇦

"This is our F.... Movie!" Jacques Nienaber day before the final... what a speech🔥🇿🇦
The phrase “we know what they don’t know” originated from Dricus’ UFC title winning fight where he said “Hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie”, which is the Afrikaans translation. After the fight he reflected on why exactly he said those words as he didn’t rehearse it and it was spontaneous. They were words he has never said or specifically thought of prior. As South Africans a lot of us knew exactly what he meant without an explanation needed. You cannot explain the mindset to adversity and the challenges we face to anyone that isn’t South African. IMO the way South Africans find a way to make something work and get things done in spite of the challenges is a trait inherent to our nation.
This. Our people are something special. 🇿🇦
That is why you can't copy South Africa
I find it funny, that only the minority has this applying. With half the minority having left, the country is reeling
@@corinnegourley7125 True, it's a mess
Well said. I was sitting there watching this video thinking how Tim's explanation still missed it. It is not just for the nation. Sure, playing for the nation is part of it, but that is the same for all the other national rugby teams. This remark is collective yet personal to the core. Every snarky comment. Every embarrassing defeat. Every derision received. Every hardship suffered. You will know it once you've endured it. You carry it with you. It is ingrained into your character as a South African. They don't know what we know because they haven't lived what we lived.
We have a TV Anchor Commentator, Matshidiso Mohono, who lost her father just before the World Cup, and she still soldiered on up till the final. A woman in a man's world in South Africa, and an absolute icon of SA Rugby 🏉! Might wanna do a video of her. She's as much a World Cup winner as the players!

"However unlikely that may be. " - Stop talking kak about our Country
@@Arramasta 😂
It’s unlikely for sure!
Understand what you mean with your statement but the sad reality of that is...the country has never been on its feet as long as it is not for the majority of our people. I did not grow up poor enough to know the extend of the minority of our communities until I started working in these poor communities. Our parents really shielded us from this. Can't believe it was never better. In apartheid it was even worst😱 pit toilets, the taps on the corner of the road....but ja our future must definitely be better for the majority of our people.
Listen, Kwagga Smith and Deon Fourie are truly unsung heroes.. The impact these guys made when we were in dire situations🎉🎉
Only to those who keep blowing fairy dust up the entire boks A holes. There were many players who really stood out doing exceptional spurts of play that saved our arses. Kolbe blocking the conversion, pollard steering and kicking crucial need to be over. Unlike libbok. Faf, tackling like a demon.we got lucky and scraped home
Deon put in one of the most heroic shifts ever.
I think especially kwagga from 2019 up until about end of 2021. People have I think understood his value the last 2 years or so and now People understand he is basically un droppable

Tim, you are possibly the most honest, down-to-earth creator of rugby content on this platform. You have style. No one else talks about "earning" our subscription, but you do. I've been following your commentary for some months now and I have finally subscribed. You earned it. And I don't mean that to be patronising or condescending at all. It just happened that way. I am a South African and a die-hard Springbok supporter and I love the way you place balance before everything you say. I like the fact that you are real, the little quirks you have when you present. Your calm demeanour, no noise, no sensationalism, no hype - just plain commentary. You and your channel are a class act. Well done - you have earned my respect too. And it's not because you have so many good things to say about the Boks and everything and everyone that stand behind them, although I won't deny that it makes us feel good. It's because you say what you think and feel, honestly and with no fanfare - just say it. That's class. Keep it up. Enjoy your trip to South Africa later this year and I wish you and your channel the very best any creator could wish for. Salute!
I concur. Unbiased, honest and absolutely devoted to the game. Quite refreshing.
Brilliant summation of Tim. He is an awesome Soul.
"Hear hear" - from another fellow South African. I think it's your passion Tim, it's infectious! Seeing anyone who LOVE what they do is a beautiful (and I believe) deeply spiritual thing to witness. Shine on, good sir!
The story of Deon Fourie is aging like fine wine… the more you hear it, the more you want to hear it, again and again

....or like fine brandy.😆
Felix Jones...... His overall analysis is next level. England has gained a phenomenal rugby brain . We will surely miss this guy.

I have played Rugby for 28 years, I have traveled the world and SA to watch my teams.

And obviously the two of you live on opposite sides of the planet and are involved in different rugby comps. Would be great to reconcile the two different rugby worlds
As a proud South African, your heartfelt analysis makes the rugby world a good place! Good work man
Chasing the Sun2 is absolutely brilliant. Truth revealed behind the scenes. So much emotion it’s unbelievable Springboks raw on every level. Just love every single one involved
SA grandma here, raised listening to rugby on the radio and watching on the telly for when I could barely talk... You are so right, enormous respect for the All Blacks. Most of the SA fans I personally know will, if our Boks aren't playing, always cheer for the AB's to win, including me.
I'm a South African living in New Zealand and just finished watching Chasing the Sun 2. That final episode was epic and made me so proud to be South African. I showed the start of the first episode, when Rassie tuned the players were liars during half-time of the England game, to a couple Kiwi mates. They said South Africans are wired differently. That's because they don't know what we know! I love rugby and I'm so proud of this documentary and the Boks. I'm already fired up for the Irish test series. Not the 3am kick offs on a Sunday morning here in NZ though. You're going to have such a jol in SA Tim.
Deon is my legend of all legends. Mental toughness and the energy he brings to the team. Never give up attitude. He was monstrous in the final but let's not forget that crazy tackle against France. Wow what a legend
You are correct about the captaincy. There are many leaders in the group so who actually gets the official mantle is not that important. Siya will still be a big voice even if he isn’t captain.

You Sound Like a Well Traveled Man. I lived in SA in the early 80s. Just 3 Months. One Thing I Remember Is Standing in Yan Smuts Stadium 🏟️. A Young Amateur Rugby Player & Irish Gaelic Football Player also. In Hindsight. I Should Have Stayed Longer & Played Rugby There in Jahannesburg. 🧐🤔. But Too Inocent & Green. It was During Apartheid then. Which Us Irish Understood. Not Boasting. But I Could Place Kick a Rugby Ball from inside the other Half of the pitch. And Put It Between The Posts. Most of the time. I was 6’-2” & Fast also. I Often Wonder that if I Stayed. Would I Have Gotten A Chance To Be A Springbok. Beautiful People & Beautiful Country. Cheers 🍻
And 20. Robeen Island, to see Nelson Mandela's cell.
21. Visit Wembley house in Athlone and order yourself koeksister, samosas and a milkshake the best in da world. You will tell me again.
Tim, as a South African and massive Bokke and Bulls supporter... respect goes out to you for your honest and heartfelt commentary about this. Yes we face adversities (and a lot of them) in South Africa, but our love for our Country and our people runs very, very deep. Rugby, as a uniter in this Country, is unbelievable!
I mentioned on another video that South Africa's and then New Zealand's respective slumps in form have re ignited my passion for the Boks v ABs. I think both teams needed to be brought down to earth, each give each other record hammerings and in the end to meet in the final was just poetic.
You are the best rugby youtuber. I also enjoy Jim Hamilton from The rugbypod and I’ll occasionally watch Alfie as he is also quite good and WildKart if he is covering an interesting topic (love his passion)! TwoCents Rugby is also a good one to watch sometimes (truly unbiased and he makes good observations).
I thought I was the only one making those observations. My last also has Mark, a kiwi staying in Mexico. These guys are good and very impartial
@@lesangsekete5000 yes, I forgot to mention mark!
How about Squidgy guys 😊
Forged in fire, crowned in gold. A true testimony to the triumph of human spirit
As a South African, the bongi incedent. I remember from my perspective. I didn't think it was a major thing. I thought it was people and the media trying to make it more then it was. And I'm actually sure the boks didn't let it get to them either. Because of our countries history I know for a team like the springboks to be so close. There simply is no way that race is ever a factor. They are truly an inspiration for the whole world
Why does Tim not have a REALLY big rugby correspondent's job in an established English paper or other media outlet? Surely the best journo, with the same eloquence, versus all those other misguided, miserable old farts? I mean the man made me feel his pain after that semi-final but somehow he still positioned the SA win as immense and deserving. Keep going mate-I-never-met: you have earned a subscription!
I've been looking at youtube every 15min from monday morning waiting for this. KZhead started to ask me click here to prove you are not a robot.
That’s crazy 😂
You were not the only one haha
I've also been waiting not very patiently for Tim's review .. As per usual a brilliant review. You are going to love S.A big time Tim!!!! 😀🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
The line "hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie" i.e. they dont know what we know was coined by Dricus Du Plessis when he was fighting his way up the middleweight class in UFC. Chasing the Sun pays homage to him during the credits where they show him walking through the airport with the title belt.
Wrong
@@Zion66666 I am 100% sure this is the case, but okay, who coined it and when? Happy to accept I'm wrong if I am, but you're going to have to prove it.
@@chieffa32 okay. Well I can’t prove it but I heard the phrase being used way before even the RWC. Don’t know who coined it but for whatever reason some people seem to give Dricus credit. I’m a fan of Dricus btw.
@@Zion66666 The reason you cant prove it is because Dricus coined it at UFC 290 after beating Whittaker. You may have heard it before, but Dricus coined it. Just a simple google search would've confirmed this for you with various news pages and even Kurt Darren (for what that's worth) confirming it. Pro tip - if you cant prove something to the contrary, then dont publicly state someone is wrong.
Thanks for this review! Top stuff, as usual. Anyone notice how the documentary didn't show a single mistake from the AB's? Not a missed kick to poles to be seen anywhere. It's as if the message is: we won this. the ABs did not lose this
We did win it 😂
Perhaps we should say, as per usual, we just scraped through as per normal.
You are kidding?
@@user-qe1tv1bu2f Yet we scrape through more than most. Contemplate on that a bit. Your pessimism only highlights whatever resentment you harbor. Go look at how formidable the other teams were. Scotland, Ireland, England, France, New Zealand. They threw everything at us, yet they didn't beat us with ease. They didn't even scrape through. Whether you lose by a millimeter or a mile, you've lost.
@@cobus5841 and yet Ur wrong. NZ beat Ireland who beat us by a margin. Oh, so now their formidable teams. Scotland, Ur joking. We scraped through period. Yes we won yaye, but loose by a point nobody would rave like lunatics as u lot are. Steyn saved us from lions defeat, last gasp kick. We are last gaspers and the mindset is not to dominate but play catch up a hope to win it barely. That's not pessimistic u dunce it's factual.
Dont get mugged, the country and its people are predominantly good pleople. Biggest problem is the politicians.
politics and crime The rest is pretty good!!
Hi Tim. I really enjoy your style of commentry about rugby. Even after England lost to South Africa, you were honest in your grief as well as your praise. Looking forward to reports your from our home soil.
Us South Africans still believe that we achieved the greatest victories without our best player in 2 decades, Marx. THAT makes our victory so much sweeter. Malcolm is worth 8 points a game. We achieved this without our second biggest strength, our lineouts.
And without scrums really
Tim thanks for 5 x ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews it’s been a pleasure watching
Every single one of our players is South Africa personified. They have different playing abilities and different styles of playing but deep down it is all for the same purpose. That purpose is purpose itself and it cannot be measured by talent alone but also by willpower and the strength in our hearts, minds and souls. So I wish to say thank you Tim for all of this insight and cherish the fact that you still have an extraordinarily bright future ahead with so many accomplishments still yet to come! From a proud South African🇿🇦
As a South African who never used to follow rugby - who never even understood how it's played - I got pulled into it during the RWC of 2023. It was impossible to ignore the buzzing energy everywhere around you and, despite not being a fan of rugby, I am a proud South African and will always support this country in achieving greatness. Since then I've read Rassie's book and watched the second Chasing the Sun documentary, and my respect for the game has only grown. I don't think I'll ever be a die-hard supporter, but I think it is impossible not to have rugby running through your veins when it is so vital and important for this country - when it literally represents hope for so many. I've been following your channel as well, and I really enjoy it. I hope to get tickets for my dad for the NZ vs Springboks game in Cape Town, since he is a huge rugby fan. I hope you enjoy South Africa. It is a beautiful, amazing, resilient country, full of wonderful people who unfortunately have to go through more than most people should have to go through.
My 12 year old son favourite part of the Episode is Jacques Nienaaber speech. Some of these kids were not meant to be there, because of their circumstances. It teaches and reminds us all again, that where you start is not where you finish. Life is not linear. All the detours on the way serve to make you stronger, add to your toolbox for the future. BE ALWAYS EXCELLENT IN WHAT YOU DO. BE READY AND PREPARED FOR WHAT YOU ARE STRIVING FOR. You never know how and where your opportunity will come or who is watching you. Rassies closing comments about South Africa our Country and remember who we are and capable of as a country. I will not speak ill of it, but what can I do to make it what we all know is capable of. Forget the politicians, but what we as citizens can do at grass root levels. Also, wow was I wrong about Jacques Nienaaber. The narrative in the Media and public at large, was the Coach was Rassie, but Jacques was playing his second fiddle. My word were we wrong. The man was the Man. Love how Rassie had so much trust in his Coaching Staff. Wow. The media focused on Rassie, but the coaches were focused on the job. My sadness is that this Doccie is not available to the rest of the country. It's needed.
We must all just roll up our sleeves an jump in to get the job done. Politicians won't do it for us. They only want to gorge on money and power at the expense of our nation. You are correct! The WHOLE country needs to see this.
I Hope you enjoy South Africa The fabulous food!! the tastes, Warm Ocean, friendly people, the fresh air, the smells, the birds, the injection of power in your body and mind and of course the Rugby.... I miss it sooooo much
And the load shedding!😎
What a great synopsis ,look forward to your posts, when you come to SA you will see the true rugby fans, hospitable, humble and thirsty
I'm a South African living here and I've never felt prouder.... ICONIC! Thanks Tim, you've done such a wonderful job with your channel, you've been with my family and I and plenty South Africans from the start of this campaign, my favorite rugby channel. 🫶🇿🇦
The biggest games for the Boks this year for me is Ireland..... if Ireland manage to beat us then we won't hear the end of how they should have won the WC..... going to be huge test matches ;)))
Exactly right there
Should have, could have..... 🙄 Nobody cares what they think. They could not even make it to the semi final.
Thanks for all the content Tim, I especially love how you bash out the full time reactions within minutes of matches. Chasing the sun reviews & selection reactions have also been fab! Started watching you during the 6 nations but I’ve gone back and watched a lot of your World Cup and other coverage. I really appreciate your balanced, calm perspective. I’ve just been getting back into rugby after years away studying, and through your passionate channel I’ve been motivated to find a local club out here in the wilds of Finland. They play even here! 😂 Thanks again, I really appreciate your content.
'hulle weet nie wat ons weet nie' - They don't know what we know A classic statement from UFC Champion, Dricus du Plessis who won his title around the same time “It’s a statement that even though we’re underdogs, even though we don’t have what all these big countries have… we have all these challenges [and] it doesn’t really matter.” The CHESLIN moment was an exact copy of what happened to Mark Andrews in the 1995 World Cup. Kitch Christie and Morne du Plessis called him in to ask if he could play flank. He said no. Went back to his room and realised he messed up and was going to be dropped. They called him back and asked if he could play 8. He said he was very happy to, played it at school... even though he hadn't!! The rest is history. The Dwayne moment was a link back to him losing his dad as a young boy.
@@Zion66666 huh? What's the issue? Did I not type that it's Dricus' quote?
@@mvubu6823 it’s not his quote. Was being used for some time before that. I’m curious why you think he coined it. Google the phrase and you will see it was being used before
@@Zion66666 What's your beef? No one said he made up that line. Definition of quote: 'repeat or copy out (words from a text or speech written or spoken by another person)'. Rassie quoted Ricus, who quoted someone else, who quoted ... you get the picture?
I think Rassie actually tweeted that first?
@@chrisotto1292 no, it was Dricus in the moment, in the ring. Totally unplanned
Tim thanks a million for all your wonderful reviews of an unforgettable RWC, you could be a Saffa any day. I am a South African living in France for many years and the feeling we have inside about our country and our rugby team never goes away. I really wish you a fantastic time in SA, you will be blown away by our hospitality.....enjoy every moment you deserve it.
Branners is an absolute legend, what a story.. a journeyman pro and if I recall his dad was very ill and they had to tell Him eventually but he said please to stay in France!! Wow what a warrior 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
South Africans love you, man! You´re gonna have a great time in SA!
Where do I pre-order my "Bongi says Relax" tshirt?!?
Can’t wait for the final episode of ‘Chasing The Brannas’ Tim. I hope you get that interview.
@alangrove2642 you just put the perfect name of the next series I definitely want to watch XD
For me I wish they would have touched more on PSDT being the only forward asked to go full 80 in a 7-1 split especially when Willie mentioned what toll it takes on the backs but absolutely brilliant have sobbed so much watching this
The take-out for me was the speech "that none of them should be here"...that each of them at one stage or another in their lives had told someone, told "them", what they could do with themselves and wrote their own story and made their own journey in getting here. Now being encouraged to go on that field and carry on their narrative was just brilliant. What motivation. That is fire in your soul. As the All Blacks found - impossible to beat. The All Blacks come back story from their annihilation at Twickenham is also remarkable and it is a pity that they didn't a documentary. The same can be said with England. I guess these come backs we put that down to the characters who play this game. Gladiators.
Hey Tim - when you come to Cape Town , hit me up and you can come round for a braai or even stay at my house - got a spare room. We’ll show you the real South Africa ! (Hotels are for tourists … 😂). My name is Howard and I’m that dude who made the “rugby for toddler” videos which went around doing the World Cup - not sure if you saw them. Anyway seriously would be lovely to welcome you into Cape Town - I’ve loved your content over the last six months and would love to collaborate / give something back! A big piece of braai meat would be the least I could do!
Speaking from the heart. I love it.💚💛🇿🇦
Tim, I can’t thank you enough for the content you produce on this Channel. Honestly. The work you do for all Rugby is amazing. I remember just flicking through KZhead prior to the Rugby WC last year, seeing the first glimpse of the knowledge & love for the game you have.. And couldn’t get enough. The previews, squad announcements, the power rankings. The excellent work you did bringing the World Cup alive from France. I’m a South African born boy, who watched South Africa win the 1995 World Cup. And to see how much Rugby means to all South Africa. After winning back to back World Cups with this incredible Team. I hope you get the opportunity to bring Deon on, and all the other stars while on your visit. You deserve it, just for the great work you do. Thank you Tim.
I need that ''Bongi says relax shirt''. Good job Sir.
Hi Tim. Thank you for the beautiful content on your channel❤. I'm proudly South African because of the Springboks! I'm also a Captonian and know that the content that you have already shared is only have the story. Every entertainment area in Cape Town homes of Springbok fans are decked out with Springbok-themed decor because they are family members and we are so so proud of them! We are addicted and can't get enough! We can't wait for our next fix - 2027 here we come!!!!😂
Hi Tim. Great content. I am a Springbok supporter and Saffa living in Perth Australia. The Sunday before WC final a good friend of my Cape Town days organised 2 WC final tickets for me and my 14 yr old son via Deon Fourie’s wife. So we flew to Paris for the final. Memories we will never forget. Enjoy Cape Town.
Man its good to be on the "wen kant".
Agreed brother every1 is losers,Boks best NATION to have PLAYED the game!💪🔥💯🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
What struck me most was good collaborative the coaching team was. You can't imagine Eddie or Cheika or any other coach giving his staff so much responsibility and freedom to express themselves. A lot of it has to do with the security Rassie has in his character and also how Jacques and Rassie know their places
Tim, love your show. Good to have someone outside South Africa talking straight about the Boks. It would be great if the refs did a similar documentary so people get a better insight to their difficult job. Without refs, we don’t have a game
There is a ref documentary on rugbypass I think.
My favourite was Willemse after all the credits "we're not finshed yet, we're going for chasing the sun 3" 😂
Tim you make me cry. I love the rivalries you describe. The Boks are so much more than a team to me, they represent so much of what is good and right in our beautiful country.
The Bongi incident was ludicrous, jumping to conclusions could have caused a lot more damage than it did, but Bongi knew what he said on the pitch and the Springbok brotherhood protected him, in my opinion this just added more fuel to the Springbok fire.
Thought Schalk Brits’ role in 2019 was massive then Deon Fourie said hold my beer. At 38 and 37 respectively those guys did it for the country 🔥🇿🇦.
or you mean "hold my brannas""
Thanks for sharing the South African story, Tim, and appreciating it in the way you did. I am sure you will love your visit and receive a very warm welcome
Tim, you were my go to during the WC and I still keep following and watching… you are truly impartial and give great views and comments, love your character , I have no doubt that when u arrive in SA you will be looked after and someone will get a bok player or two on your channel ..much respect 💪🏻 as for Chasing the Sun, wow full of emotions seeing behind the scenes, a great job to the producers showcasing ‘wat ons weet’ Bokke you did what all thought was impossible on your road to the 2023 RWC so proud to be a bok supporter 🙏🏻😎
Too right that this has set the benchmark for docs. The raw emotions show is truly amazing. As a Saffer this brought tears to my eyes. Watching this again it brought back the nervous and excitement of the whole tournament.
Hi Tim. I have been waiting for your review on episode 5 of chasing the Sun 2. I watched it on Mnet and enjoyed it so much that I knew you would be blown away by this episode. We look forward to seeing you in South Africa. You will love our country and our people. Some areas can be dangerous because of crime so get advice on how and where you travel. Having said that, I know you will have a great time here.
Absolutely loved your take on the doc. Really hope you get to have Deon Fourie on the channel. His story is truly inspiring.
I followed you during the world cup and you took us with on your world cup journey and I enjoyed every video you uploaded. Thank you for your effort, I became a absolute fan of your channel
Thank you for your reviews and for inspiring us. Rassie’s heart and face when he says, “…this time they just said, ‘thank you, thank you.’” Words can never articulate the life-giving impact this Springbok team had on our nation. Thank you!
I Reckon You And Big Jim Are Brilliant!! Honest, Unbiased and Insightful.
Love Eggchasers. My go to channel for real honest answers to rugby questions. As excited I was, I was sad to see the closing final episode of Chasing the sun 2 last night but let me tell you something. The anticipation and the excitement of waiting for the episode during this last week, was on a par with my feelings during the world cup last year. I was on the "regte kant" of happy exited emotions. The reminder of the journey was and is so welcome. I had forgotten about the Bongi Curry slur. In so doing reminded that this world isn't perfect and its these kind of imperfections that make it all so entertaining for me. I'm also reminded how easy it is for the innocent to be "court" up in the systems we have and burnt at the stake for crimes they are simply not guilty of. We all should take a moment to really look deep into our behavior patterns and why we choose what we choose. Anger and aggression over love and kindness for example. Or not. Spending time on this is really a choice but I digress, so sorry for that jabber. There are a couple of strong life lesson I take from watching this brilliantly put together roller coaster of emotions project, Chasing the Sun 2. 1: if you work hard and focus, and really put in extra effort, and if you are humble you can and will achieve greatness. 2: If you assemble the right people in the right places achieving the impossible is within your grasp. 3: Having the right management team is just as important as the team. So choose well. 4: Love and kindness go along way in achieving common goals 5: Working together is the answer. That shot of Rassie emotional at the airport during the teams arrival back into SA. The reception he and the team received which sparked this emotion. I only wish in my life that I can experience even just a piece of the level of pride I witnessed in the sum of all the parts leading up to this exquisite highly unique Rassie moment. How truly remarkable. I thank the producers of this project for taking me on this journey. I thank the players for writing their own script and striving for and achieving greatness. The story that is the journey to holding the Web Ellis trophy aloft as champions is so much bigger than a rugby teams back to back world champion repeat and becoming champions for a record 4th time. It's the journey each and every South African is on. The road we have traveled and the road we are traveling. What we see and what we feel in this country. The hardships my captain speaks of and the day to days struggles of a nation under a government holding it's citizens to ransom for greed and personal gain. It's how each of us connect to the knowledge that we truly have the most glorious country in the world and that with the right management (see what I did there?) we can all benefit from our land and it's abundance. The conundrum that is a mismanaged country can be rectified. Just like PSDT said, "everyone is fucking scared. If you afraid say so. We make a fucking plan." The motivation of the man. The truth. We have to help each other and work together to beat the cancer in our country and that means educating the voter. Each and everyone of you South Africans should be doing something to help educate the voter leading up to the immanent election. Flooding social media with reasons to not vote ANC and EFF without being condescending for example. Just relay your truth. I don't have the answer as to what the future holds but I can see what has happened, what is happening and that if nothing changes, it'll only get worse. So if you want a better home for you and your family, start working hard, together toward it. Yes I'm scared but shit, I want change. Look out for my video post. It's coming very soon. Can't wait to see yours. The emotion Rassi felt at the airport that I speak above and of wanting a little bit of it; imagine we work together and change our leadership and this country becomes the kind of country we all know it can be. A true example to the world of a fantastic place to live where the people work together like the Springbok Rugby team showed us. One for all it's citizens. I want that and I know, I really really know so do you. Like any great TV series. Leading the audience toward the idea of a sequel is the formula used by Hollywood and as such the rest of the world. There is no exception to Chasing the sun 2. Chasing the sun 3. I can't wait to see how that project unfolds. Patience Antony. Patience.
Tim you don't even realise how complicated the AB/ Bok relationship is. We have a whole section of our rugby community who are the most vociferous AB supporters. Me personally I hate them, they have inflicted much pain on me, but I respect them because they are just damn good.
True this: My older brother is an ardent Springbok-his oldest daughter a die hard AB. My younger brother AB while his kids are Springboks. Family WhatsApp group kicks off on game days.
"a whole section"? In the 80s sure, but when last were you at a cape town game? Your "section" has evaporated to a handful of old people. It all started swinging in 95 and with Siya, Kolbe, Arendse, Willemse you try and find a dozen AB supporters in Cape Town now.
Thank you for putting this together. So good reliving the emotion of that night. You will be most welcome in our country and hope you manage to get Deon on the channel!
I've watched a bunch of reviews and yours was by far the best, you got the emotion points spot on. Thanks for this!
As usual! Great review! Literally waiting for this one to drop while I travel. Love it!
Thanks for the content, love it.
Thank you for so much genuine appreciation comments on our National team. Yip it was summed up We know what they do not know. Enjoy SA when you are on your promised visit.
Just discovered EggChasers - but quality content, a clear love of the game and ability to leave tribalism (at least temporarily) at the door for the sake of promoting the game. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Tim. What a pleasure to watch your videos. I was actually waiting for this to drop. 😊
Your truth and understanding is amazing. Love watching your program.
I couldn't wait for your reaction response video 😊 thanks Tim you going to love it this side in South Africa....
This is pure content and analysis, you make KZhead worth. Keep up the good work.
Great work, Tim!!! The respect between the Bok and AB teams and supporters is real. Sonny-Bill's comments in the episode prove it!
Nice episode Tim! Thank you for your enthusiasm and honesty. You now realise what others are yet to realise ...
Another great summary, Tim. I am looking forward to your reports down here during the coming months. Love this channel.
Love this guy's passion..thank you for such great comments
The only channel I happily watch the ads to support you. Fantastic heartfelt, honest commentary.
Thanks Tim for your insight and commentary. From sitting on the beach and out amongst the fans doing your talk and interviews, your channel was more than subscribable! I could not wait to hear your commentary of episode 5. Perfect and unbiased as usual.
What a review, thanks for the content Tim I love your channel. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after visiting our amazing country
TIM- your passion for rugby😢 is an inspiration to me! I live in Cape Town and can't wait for you to experience our country❤
Been all along checking if you've loaded for episode 5. You've been awesome covering our story
Fantastic show Tim! Love how you are so unbiased! Will definitely be following more of your shows especially when you visit SA later this year.
