Can anyone think of any other rugby films out there? Up and Under starring Samantha Janus is another that springs to mind but any others out there?

Ther is a New Zealand film that came out last year I think about a struggling single moari (apologies if i spelt that wrong) dad who's a binman who forms an amateur team to enter a local comp to get respect and ends up playing a team of actual NRL legends.

Supposed to be very good but I cannot remember the name of it

I got part of the synopsis wrong but thats because I haven't seen it yet.

Invictus.

Invictus and Alive but they're rugby union.

Rugby also features in "The Motorcycle Diaries" and many other films.
