Have you ever wondered what it would be like to face up against the Wallabies? Was your childhood dream to take the first hitup of a Bledisloe Cup Test? Well, brace for it, now you can.
Through the magic of Virtual Reality, The Wallabies are bringing fans the ultimate rugby experience, namely getting tackled by some of Australia’s finest big men. As if watching Tatafu Polota-Nau smashing into the defensive line, or seeing Ben McCalman lay someone twice his size out on television wasn’t enough, this time it’ll be you as the focal point. Four ferocious forwards will be running at you with no intention but to put you on your backside. Theoretically, of course.

By bringing the pace and passion of international rugby, and strapping it onto your face, Hahn SuperDry 3.5 want to show rugby fans just how difficult it is to hold onto the ball in that kind of contact situation.

You will be challenged to take on four Wallaby tacklers without spilling the pill, in one of, if not the, most realistic international rugby experience you will find without having to put on the jersey after getting the call-up from Cheik
Isn’t technology amazing?
Launched during the third and final Test between the Wallabies and England, the Virtual Reality experience was given to plenty of fans throughout Allianz Stadium. How did they fare, exactly?
