The highly anticipated, behind-the-scenes Six Nations documentary now has an official release date.

The show is Netflix's rugby answer to the uber popular 'Drive to Survive' series, which was the catalyst for a massive spike in F1 interest.

Golf got its own version with 'Full Swing', as did tennis with 'Break Point', and cycling with 'Tour de France: Unchained'.

The Six Nations doc will be released on January 24, and also has a title, 'Six Nations: Full Contact'.

Rugby has famously been a trailblazer in these types of shows, with its behind-the-scenes Lions Tour documentaries, which began in 1997.

During this year's Six Nations, Ireland no. 8 Jack Conan dampened some of the hype around the series, and gave an insight into the type of content and access that will be on show.

“They’re just in the background. I haven't had much 1-1 dealings with them, it's grand. It’s not something we’re letting distract us.

"Most of us they’ve seen so far is just having craic and playing games before training sessions, so I don’t know if it’s going to be the most riveting TV people have watched when it finally comes out.

"Look, it’s great for the game, to develop it, and have more eyes on the sport and I hope it comes out well but it hasn’t been too much of a distraction yet."
