Hector Chasing The Ireland Rugby Team at The France Rugby World Cup 2007

Chasing the Blues with Hector and Risteárd is a documentary from multi-award winning presenter Hector O’hEochagáin and Risteard Cooper (Apres Match, The State of Us). The guys take a wonderfully funny and original look at the fate of the Irish Rugby team at the 2007 World Cup in France. Chasing the Blues with Hector and Risteárd casts a revealing and irreverant eye over the most highly anticipated event of the year. Never before had an Irish team entered the World Cup with such expectation to win, from the coach, players and fans alike. The documentary follows Hector and Risteard’s attempts at unlocking some of the mysteries surrounding the bizarre misfiring of this gifted group of players. In 2005, Chasing the Lions followed Hector and Risteard behind the scenes of the most expensive and controversial Lions rugby tour of New Zealand. Chasing the Blues with Hector and Risteárd promises to surpass fans’ expectations with superbly entertaining material including interviews with Eddie Butler, George Hook, Kevin Mitchell, Gerry Thornley and Johnny Watterson.
