The Union Game - a Rugby History

on BBC Two England

Continuing the documentary series examining over a century of pride, passion and conflict, both on and off the playing field. The Empire Game. Throughout the century New Zealand and South Africa have been powerful rugby nations.
Tonight's edition examines how relations between them were affected by the racism that became institutionalised within South Africa. In both countries rugby's ability to unite, to provide focus and national aspiration has been equalled by its ability to exclude and divide. May contain swearing and some disturbing scenes.
