This year, for the first time ever, RTÉ cameras were given unprecedented access to the Irish rugby team’s preparations for their RBS 6 Nations campaign as they followed the team over five months through the autumn internationals, their winter training camp in Portugal and Ireland’s RBS 6 Nations matches.
As the team went on to win their third Triple Crown in four years, this specially commissioned one hour documentary gives an insightful view of all the action, both on and off the pitch.
From the same team who made The Dubs and Brian Kerr documentaries Reaching for Glory: Inside Irish Rugby ’07 offers never before seen footage with an exclusive view of team talks, squad training sessions and the team bus, as well as a fly-on-the-wall view of the dressing room action during Ireland’s historic home matches at Croke Park.
The programme also gives a revealing perspective of manager Eddie O’Sullivan who is renowned for his cool and calm appearance.
