The Union Game - a Rugby History: The Adopted Game

BBC Two
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 French have successfully embraced rugby - they play it almost as if they invented the game. This edition explores why an imported English game found favour with a Parisian elite before spilling out into rural south-west France.
