After fascinating shows in both Singapore and Hong Kong, former Scotland international and Saracens European Cup winner Jim Hamilton sets off to South Africa in this beautifully shot latest edition.
In perhaps the most insightful episode to date, Jim digs deep into the history of racial segregation in South African rugby while exploring some of the less priveledged rugby hotspots of the Eastern Cape.

Getting to know the local communities in and around PE and Cape Town, Jim gets a unique look at South Africa and finds that there is so much more to it than some of the perceptions from abroad.
If you've ever had a slight interest in South Africa or indeed it's rugby, this is an enjoyable and interesting watch. Plus, we get to see the 6ft 8 giant attempt to play touch rugby with some hot-stepping youths on probably the roughest rugby surface he's ever seen.
