A Canadian jock, an overweight Irish backpacker and a stoic Japanese outsider united by their love of rugby come together under a determined Australian coach to vie for a position in the 2014 Bingham Cup – the gay rugby world cup.

As the eyes of the world focus on the 2015 Rugby World Cup, the Iris Prize Festival is delighted to open the 2015 festival with this powerful documentary which is about more than just rugby.

Director Poppy Stockell will introduce the screening and take part in a Q+A after the screening.
