‘THE CALL OF THE WALLABY’ FINDS A VOICE ON FOX SPORTS



A new observational series ‘The Call of the Wallaby’, aimed at uncovering the truths behind Rugby fanaticism, premieres this Tuesday, July 15, on FOX SPORTS 1.



Rugby Union is built upon a rich history of tradition, pride and honour. It is the fabric which bonds the Rugby community so passionately for their code. But Wallabies fans have remained somewhat silent over the past decade, until now.



Seven passionate Australian Rugby fanatics from diverse backgrounds, united by their love for the gold jersey, are calling fellow fans to action. Brought together by their passion and devout patronage to our national representative team, the mission to start a supporter group for the Wallabies was born.



Premiering at 7pm this Tuesday, July 15, The Call of the Wallaby is a new six-part series which follows the newly-formed supporter group, The Gold Brigade, as they attempt to take all that is loud and exciting about Rugby culture and raise it up to the national level.



The Call of the Wallaby documents The Gold Brigade’s challenges and successes, as they work together to rally the Wallabies fan base ahead of the Bledisloe Cup match on August 16 – where their success, or failure, will be on show for all to see.

Not too much if an insight in to the Spirit side.... Good to see the Force U20's internationals getting some exposure

Call of the Wallaby appears to be hosted by Shaun Maloney, although he seems to get the light entertainment jobs, he's by far the best journalist of the lot in that office.

I agree GIGS! He's a great guy. And his commentary is good too.

I managed to have a quick chat with him after the Reds game on Friday night. he is is exactly as he is on TV, a real character.

I thanked him for being the only fox commentator that gets excited commenting on us, and showing great emotions, unlike his mono tonal colleagues that put us down at every opportunity.

He said he has loved watching the Force over past three years and cannot believe how they just keep on getting the job done this year.

Do you guys remember when he went crazy when Wimpie van der Walt scored the last-minute try against the Brumbies in Canberra, to steal a dramatic draw for the Kings?
