Chasing the Sun 2 finale: 'Wit kant' and tears of joy as World Cup final week is relived in real time

Chasing The Sun 2's absorbing denouement didn't just bring home the extraordinarily tense week of the Rugby World Cup final that the Springboks had to face en route to beating New Zealand on 28 October 2023, but how the most emotionally taxing title campaign was put together.

The finale, understandably, wasn't as intense as Episodes 3 and 4, which took viewers into the emotionally excruciating and fiery gutters the Boks had to traverse with France and England.

However, it cast light on the difficult build-up week where World Rugby, an organisation that hasn't painted itself in glory in recent years, lost control in terms of allowing the narrative to shift to Bok hooker Bongi Mbonambi and his alleged verbal stoush with England's Tom Curry.
