Old Scores

1991 · 93 min

A genial, gently rueful comedy about middle-aged men hauling old grudges and creaking bodies back onto the pitch.

Overview: Former Welsh rugby hero Bleddyn Morgan has his life in New Zealand interrupted by a deathbed confession that leads to a replay of a controversial 1966 All Blacks/Wales rugby match - with the original teams. The now old men pull on their jerseys one more time while Morgan deals with his past on his return home.
