Enter the inner sanctum of Chiefs Rugby, where a unique club steeped in Māori culture transcends the sporting battlefield. For the first time ever, an Emmy Award-winning documentary crew has been granted access to embed with the men’s and women’s squads for an entire year of the Super Rugby competition. Nestled on the banks of the Waikato River, in the rugby heartland of Aotearoa/New Zealand, the Chiefs Rugby Club is a breeding ground for some of the biggest international superstars of the game, including All Blacks’ Damian McKenzie and Black Ferns’ Ruby Tui.

This three-part series offers a rare front-row seat to the extraordinary highs and dream-shattering lows of life inside high-performance sports. It is told through the eyes of the staff, coaches, players, whānau, and diehard fans of this one-of-a-kind club.
