Australian Fibre

Official Tailor to the Wallabies — British & Irish Lions Tour




Australian Fibre works as a living metaphor. The physical fibre of Merino wool and the moral fibre of the men who wear it.

The Concept


The scrum became a weaving process: bodies binding under pressure, each player a thread in something that only holds if everyone holds. Technical terms from the game, binding, stitch, prop, find new meaning as the language of craft. Things built to last.

The forwards are the protagonists. Not the try scorers, but the engine room. The players who do the unseen labour, who fight for every inch in a contest most people in the stands don't fully understand. Their work is the fabric of the result.

Allan Alaalatoa. Rob Valetini. Tom Wright. Narrated by Justin Harrison, a Wallabies legend who understands what that jersey costs and what it carries.


Distribution & Impact


Broadcast across every Lions Tour stadium match and Stan Sport. Screened live at Suncorp Stadium, AAMI Park, and Accor Stadium. National out-of-home across Australian airports and digital displays including the Qantas Domestic Terminal.

68,000+ YouTube views. 151,500+ Instagram views.
