The Final England Trial
Last season twenty-eight players, including eleven new caps, wore the white international shirt of England; but despite the selectors' efforts England won only once, against Scotland at Murrayfield in their last fixture.
This afternoon the same selectors were hoping for a constructive opportunity to judge the potential of England's current international nominees. The highlights of today's match at Twickenham are introduced by Cliff Morgan, who also discusses with some of Rugby Union's leading personalities the likely format of England's XV in their bid to regain international honours.

A series of highly personal films

Hardware/Software
Technology/Humanity
Reality/Dreams
Joe Tilson is one of Britain's foremost contemporary artists and is obsessed with the problems of flesh and blood human beings living in a mechanical, scientific world.
Using the analogy of a computer, he explains what he calls the 'hardware/software scene.' Hardware, or technology, solves the physical problems of the world but not the human ones. These human, or software, problems remain largely unsolved. Joe Tilson has his own peculiar way of illustrating his reaction to the problem.
