Forever Strong
Forever Strong is a 2008 Sports Drama starring Gary Cole and Sean Faris.
Plot: Faris plays Rick, a troubled young man playing for his father's rugby team, who gets into quite a bit of trouble with the law. Sentenced to a Boys Reform school, he meets a rival rugby coach (Cole) who takes him under his wing and helps him to become a better person. Once released from the reformatory, Rick joins his father's rugby team again and is faced with a critical moral decision when both his father and teammates want him to divulge secrets he learned from the rival coach.
My Take: This story is actually based on a real life rugby coach's efforts to use rugby to reform troubled young men. I found this movie to be very inspiring and uplifting. Excellent acting, and a realistic plot go a long way. It also does a great job of showing the brotherhood of rugby and what it means to its athletes. As a rugby fan, I was very pleased with how the sport was portrayed.
