The Rules of Rugby
2010
Length: 8 three-minute clips
Synopsis: It's the 1st of February 2010, the winter sun mildens the external temperature to one degree below zero. The location is the beautiful rugby facility of Amlin Challenge Cup-contestant team Petrarca Padova. Bruno Arena, frozen but unrelenting, aided by Italian rugby personalities Vittorio Munari and Andrea de Rossi, throws himself into the scrum, jumps at the lineout, is caught in offside position and manages to steal a ball before the ruck is formed. Eight rules, easier to show with images than to explain through words. The filming was coordinated superbly by Sky journalist Francesco Pierantozzi.
