Six Nations: Full Contact - how to watch new Netflix Rugby Union documentary

The 2024 edition of the Six Nations is just a couple of weeks away, with fans of Rugby Union across the country (and the five others) waiting feverishly. To whet your appetite, a documentary - Six Nations: Full Contact - is due to be released before the tournament commences and will be available for viewing soon.

Following the 2023 Six Nations, the documentary features exclusive interviews and intimate looks into each camp in the tournament, which was eventually won by Ireland.

The Six Nations is an annual competition contested between England, Ireland, France, Italy, Wales and Scotland. England have won the most titles overall, with Wales in second - England have won 29, while Wales have 28 under their belt. France have won 18, Ireland have won 15 and Scotland have won 14 - Italy, meanwhile, have yet to win a single title. This year, the tournament will begin on February 2 and will end on March 16.

What is Six Nations: Full Contact about?

The documentary is centred around the 2023 iteration of the tournament, which was won by Ireland. It features interviews and behind the scenes sneak peeks with each team. It follows the journeys of not only the teams, but the individual players within them as well.

Much of the documentary is dominated by Ireland's quest to secure a Grand Slam - which, of course, they eventually did, picking up their 4th Grand Slam at the conclusion of the tournament.

Headed and produced by Box to Box, James Gay-Rees was the key executive producer for the series, while Josh Jacobs served as series director. The titles of each episode are as follows:

1. Let Battle Commence
2. Hard Knock Life
3. On the Edge
4. The Second Coming
5. Pressure Cooker
6. La Defense
7. The Last Dance
8. Agony or Ecstasy
