“From early onset, we knew where we could go. We knew the potential,” Virgil Taua’a says. “Our dashboard, our social profiles have amassed about 82 million profile views and 178, 000 followers … our first trial was on March 1 [in Melbourne], so it’s only being three months, really.
“Ninety days to take it all around the world ... the viral aspect of it’s a surprise, but it’s one that we have manifested.”
RUNIT events feature two players running at each other from opposite ends of a 10-metre strip and colliding as hard as they can in a rugby-style tackle in front of a panel of three judges. The winner is the player judged to have dominated the collision, the momentum that follows, and safe form in execution of tackle or run.
Contestants must be over 18 and are selected on their suitability and experience, and do not pay an entry cost.
