Ok so the first trailer I have seen of the new Clint Eastwood movie Invictus about the 1995 RWC South Africa win.

It does look good on trailer but I am not sure that I can see Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar - well a half size one perhaps !

Interesting cast as well.

Jonah Lomu is being played by former Bath player Zak Feaunati from Samoa.
Ruben Kruger is played by former Mr Canada bodybuilder champion Grant Roberts. I also see that Chester Williams (the only black lad in the 1995 team) was Damons personal rugby coach. Clint Eastwoods son plays Stransky who scores the winning kick.

Presume this is Scott Eastwood rather than genius jazz bassist Kyle?

Kyle Eastwood provides the score (music not 3pts) as he seems to for most of his dad's films - it's not really pushing yourself is it?

My son watched it at Christmas (don't ask how) and said it was ok apart from Matt Damon's legs looked a bit weedy. Maorgan Freeman was good as Nelson Mandela.

NB note for film buffs: James Small was played by Angelina Jolie's fanny!

In fairness Morgan Freeman is good at everything.

Now that's got to be worth the price of a ticket on its own. I'm going to see it at Half Term.
