Rugby Fans Need To Watch This

Aussie Rugby fans have always pondered at the thought of 'Why does Australian Rugby keep declining?' and this documentary gets us 1 step closer to answering our questions - FINALLY!!

Matt Durrant has done a fantastic job at leading this investigative documentary. I really enjoyed hearing all the interviews & what everyone had to say about the problem. Shame COVID-19 hit them during production. I would have loved to see more Rugby action throughout the doco but their pivot still made the whole journey work.

If you're an Australian Rugby fan, I highly recommend giving this little gem a watch!!
