Invictus

Brilliant. Inspired and inspirational. I won't even snit about the fact that I don't think lifting in the lineout was legal in 1995 as I could be wrong.) Anyone know of a full cast listing for the people playing in the rugby teams?


BTW The best sound ever onscreen? The sound of the tackles going in on Jonah Lomu.

I shall ask the arbiter of all things rugby when he returns from the big smoke as he was playing at the time.

My father has told me to tell everyone that "HE WAS THERE" and has the tie to prove it.

And thanks for remembering Jonah Lomu's name -- we were trying like hell to figure it out last night!

How could anyone forget Jonah Lomu's name? Engraved on my rugby memory.

Tell your father he's a good un.

You could try IMDB, see if they have a full cast listing.

*goes to bung Invictus on her rental list*

I've tried there but they don't have all sixty odd players. Nor does the official website. :(

I know next to nothing about rugby, but I agree...inspired and inspirational. And I'm so glad the poem has such a positive association this time.

Absolutely.

And the rugby was pretty well spot on - that's the bit that worried me and it was well done.
