bro'Town - Get Rucked
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2004
This hit animated TV comedy follows the adventures of five kids growing up in the Auckland suburb of Morningside. This rugby-themed episode starts with God praising George Nēpia (with Jesus weeping because he’s no good at sports), before heading down to Morningside for a lesson on teamwork. As the Sylvester 1st XV face up against a superstar team which includes Tana Umaga and Stacey Jones, Mack pulls a sicky so that his mates won't find out how little he knows about the game. Michael Jones is the school's inspirational coach.
I want everyone to pass the ball to the big, fat, brown kid: these pollywogs are naturals at sport.– A Morningside under 12 coach to his team
