| Quote: McLaren_Field "Agreed, that whole segment of the BBC presentation was superb from the interview with Rourke to the post match chat with a battered looking Thomas and Noble admitting that Danny DeVito would probably be the ideal actor to portray himself in the film.
And the common denominator is Clare Balding, she is just so enthusiastic about the game that its unbelievable, she obviously has a huge crush on Gareth Thomas as she never stops talking about him (for understandable reasons), even mentioning his tattoos when she caught a glimpse of him without a shirt on in the dressing room, but she also gets on really well with Brian Noble and Robbie Paul - such a shame that they don't get to present more than half a dozen games a season because they could all be great ambassadors for the sport on terrestrial TV,'"
What I love about Balding is her 'love' of the game , yes she is new to the game however her desire and intrest are their to see which is brilliant
As for Thomas those comments he made about RL felt almost humbling as he relises what a sport he is actually playing and the work levels he has to do |

| Quote: McClennan "That's brilliant but we could open the film up with fifteen to twenty minutes of the unacceptable face of RU i.e. some of the poofs comments referred to on here and how ethnic minorities rarely get a shot in RU. That could create a truly life affirming piece where 'majority' society rejects Thomas because of his sexuality and league is shown to be the all embracing sport it is. Obviously we'd have to not refer to Australian RL during it though.'"
Drop in an anecdote about how John Carlos was signed by Trinity following his excommunication from American Athletics after his black power salute in the Mexico Olympics and we have win written all over this film! |

You sure? I'd say CJ would push him close.
I do enjoy how you question me knowing someone who's posts I read regularly, then claim to know the worlds RU hater in order. Slightly contradictory Katie Phippson. |

Thanks for the compliment George. Are you saying I am making it up? |

Given the amount vitorol you have spewed over the years about Rugby Union, yes, I dont believe you. |

George, it's vitriol. Is vitorol some kind of after shave, or similar, you types like to smear over each other in the showers or spice other's drinks? Well it's 100% true, on my duaghter's life. He has also sent numerous emails with mild porno pictures & others of an offensive racist nature. But that is nothing to do with yawnion, but it is an indication of the type of person who is involved in the game. If your life extends beyond Orrell you have probably met in matching RFU blazers. |

It wasn't on the red button - at the end of the coverage of the second half of the Leeds - Cru game on bbc2.
Great stuff from Gareth as always. His determination and commitment to make a go of it are fantastic especially with all the other media stuff and personal commitments he has now - he could so easily have walked away after just one season. Hopefully there'll be another season in him for the Crusaders and Wales. |

On a serious note I have been very impressed with his performances from what I've seen, and certainly with his attitude too.
Film wise I would be very surprised if the film ever alludes to either league or union and will more likely just be a generic "rugby".
