Old Scores is a 1991 television film jointly produced by New Zealand and Wales, about the two countries' mutual national sport of rugby union.
The Welsh Rugby Union president announces that in order to set the record straight, there should be a rematch between the two teams; using the same players who had played the match 25 years earlier.
With the scores tied, a shot is taken at goal, but the ancient leather of the ball is not strong enough and it deflates, landing limply on the crossbar where it remains.
The cast mixes a number of experienced NZ actors (such as John Bach and Martyn Sanderson — the former, ironically, being Welsh-born), with many rugby players from the 1960s and 70s taking supporting roles as members of the Welsh and New Zealand teams – the latter mostly in non-speaking parts.
The players included New Zealand's Ian Kirkpatrick, Waka Nathan, Grahame Thorne, and Alex "Grizz" Wyllie, and Wales's Phil Bennett, Gerald Davies, Mervyn Davies, Gareth Edwards, Tony Faulkner, Dennis Hughes, Barry John, Allan Martin, David Morris, David Price, Mike Roberts, J.J. Williams, and Bobby Windsor.
