I found this a bit boring, although I don't like rugby very much so maybe that's no surprise! There's not really enough material here for a full- length documentary, so maybe it would have been better if it had dwelt more on other gay rugby teams as well. Some of the commentary on how "beary" the competition was opens up a provocative avenue, but that is left to kind of fall to the side. This documentary is mostly content with observing rather than deep analysis.
Despite not reaching its potential, I appreciated that Queering the Pitch looks at a unique subject. If the words "gay rugby" peak your interest, then this is a good introduction to the topic.
