Front Up, Rise Up è la storia del notevole viaggio del Connacht per diventare campione del Pro12 del 2016. La storia entra nello spogliatoio, racconta il loro viaggio non programmato, lungo una settimana, di unione in Siberia e ritorno per una partita di European Challenge Cup, e tutti i colpi di scena chiave lungo il percorso. Ci porta i personaggi di questa Band of Brothers, dai locali come il capitano John Muldoon di Portumna al loro iconico beniamino dei fan Bundee Aki (che come il loro talismanico allenatore Pat Lam è un neozelandese di Auckland di origine samoana) e il loro vincitore di partite nato in Nigeria e cresciuto a Dublino Niyi Adeolokun. La storia racconta la travagliata storia professionale della provincia, che li ha portati sull'orlo dell'estinzione come entità professionale nel 2003 e ha portato il Connacht e i suoi sostenitori a marciare verso gli uffici dell'IRFU in un tentativo riuscito di tenerli a galla. Racconta della loro detronizzazione dei campioni Glasgow allo Sportsground di Galway e della loro straordinaria prestazione nella finale contro il Leinster a Edimburgo. In più di due decenni di rugby professionistico, non c'è stata una storia simile.
