But this documentary is about far more than stats and milestones. As was the case with the first season of the series – which aired almost a year after the Boks won the 2019 World Cup – the second instalment revisits a successful campaign and all the blood, sweat and literal tears shed behind the scenes.If the first episode is anything to go by, the series may break another record for the most swear words in a documentary.
In this scenario, however, there is no tomorrow in the context of the Boks’ World Cup campaign. The documentary does well to capture the sense of desperation, with Erasmus going to extremes to shake the complacency out of his players. We know how this chapter ends, too, with tens of thousands of South Africans flocking to the various city centres to welcome the Boks back after a successful World Cup campaign.
That Erasmus and the Boks have embraced such a responsibility speaks volumes. And to be clear, this mission was taken on when the group first came together in 2018 – before the team had won anything, and well before any documentary was pitched.
