Watch: Hold Back the River - Australia Womens 7's trailer

Get ready for another short documentary series on RugbyPass.

‘Hold Back The River’ is a sports series produced by Onion TV that will look at the formative years of the Australian Women’s Sevens program and how it shaped their assault on the Worlds Sevens Series title and Olympic Gold medal.

Told from the perspective of coach Tim Walsh and utilising never-before-seen footage from inside the Sevens camp, the story starts in the present day with the high-profile Sevens team preparing for the Sydney Sevens in Feb 2017.

This event proves to be the unofficial ‘homecoming’ for the team that won the hearts of Australia’s sports fans during the Olympics, and whose success and positive culture has launched the sport into the nation’s psyche.

The Sydney Sevens provides an important backdrop to the ‘Road To Rio’ story - it provides a perspective that recent success has been built on innovation, determination and hard work.

The series contrasts this retrospective with the birth of a new age in Sevens Rugby in Australia as the team goes about setting new goals for on-field excellence and in their new roles of ambassadors for women elite sport.

As the tournament slowly approaches, we dip into the past as moments and memories are recalled by Tim Walsh and the players, prepare themselves for life after the Olympics.
