Rugby documentary: Stealing Rugby - the game going professional

thomond2006

I watched this today, I thought it was a good documentary. It gives an insight from the players, rugby administrators and media moguls from the SANZAR countries on the 'league wars' that turned the game professional, something that I knew little about.

That was a great watch, thanks for the link.

The dying days of amateurism really were a land grab for the future of the game.

I love the grin on Sean Fitzpatrick's face @6.53 in part 4 when he denies that the All Blacks all wanted a piece of Frankie Pienaar. Sure you didn't, Sean
