The Union Game - A Rugby History (Complete Series)
Four-part documentary series examining over a century of pride, passion and conflict in rugby union.
Based on the book, "The Union Game," by Sean Smith.
Originally aired in
1999 on BBC Wales Episode 1: A Class Game
A study of how the growth and development of rugby in Britain mirrored wider social tensions and national aspirations,
with the middle and upper classes fighting to prevent the sport being taken up by the working classes.
Both the Scottish and English game showed this elitist approach, while that in Ireland spanned the religious divide, and
the Welsh took the sport for themselves with rugby becoming the national game of the principality.
Episode 2: The Empire Game
Throughout the century New Zealand and South Africa have been powerful rugby nations.
This programme examines how the relations between tham were affected by
the racism that became institutionalised within South Africa.
Episode 3: The Adopted Game
The success of rugby union in France.
Episode 4: The New Game
Examination of the 1974 England v France game confirmed that rugby was not an amateur game even then -
all 15 England players wore the same make of boots.
Mike Burton (former England prop forward) speaks of how he was approached by rugby boot representatives.
The sham of amateurism could not last and it was in Australia that the pressure to turn the game professional was the strongest,
resulting in the `rugby war' between Rupert Murdoch and Kerry Packer.
