Featuring a cast of the game's best and brightest - Scotland's Finn Russell, France's Antoine Dupont, Ireland's Johnny Sexton, England's Owen Farrell, Wales' Dan Biggar and Italy's Seb Negri and all the coaches as well - "Six Nations: Full Contact" combines game footage that is superbly cinematic with footage from inside dressing rooms, in homes, at training headquarters and everywhere in between.
The insight from the players ranges from mundane to very interesting. The peek into those players' private life, though sparing, was fascinating. More of that in season two, please.
The best narratives are when teams aren't going very well, so Italian coach Kieran Crowley, who doesn't mind an F-bomb or twenty-nine, was always fascinating. Same, for similar reasons but without the F!@#$%g swearing, Warren Gatland of Wales.
Really enjoyed all eight episodes. I don't think rugby union has ever had a better platform. Hope it translates into new fans.
(Shoutout to Mark Robson, who voice-overed a lot of commentary for the games. He is an acquired taste, I must admit, but one of my favourites.)
