Rugby goes Hollywood

Amazing but true - Hollywood has made a rugby movie. Forever Strong is due to open in the USA in the Autumn (here - who knows, but we get loads of crummy baseball and gridiron films so one assumes British distributors will pick it up) and is apparently based on the true story of a very successful US college team. The Hollywood schmaltz is added through "a talented-but-troubled rugby player" who "must play against the team his father coaches at the national championship", but despite that- going by the preview below - it may turn out to be passably watchable.

    Actually the film is about a successful "High School Team"
