The three-part series is the inside story of one of the biggest gambles in Australian sporting history, and chronicles the pride, passion and pain of the Wallabies under prodigal coach Eddie Jones, as they attempt the ultimate ‘smash and grab’ at Rugby World Cup 2023 in France.
Created by award-winning production company CJZ in conjunction with Karlinberg Entertainment (Karl Stefanovic and Richard Weinberg), this extraordinary look inside the Wallabies inner sanctum will offer exclusive access to Eddie Jones as he takes over the team just nine months out from the tournament, and with the hope of transforming the Wallabies into world champions.
