Game of Two Halves - Series 1, Episode 6

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1999

Game of Two Halves pitches ex rugby players Marc Ellis and Matthew Ridge against each other in a banter-filled battle of sporting knowledge. Jounalist Eric Young fills the quizmaster chair, fending off cries of unfair treatment from Ellis. In this episode Team Ridge, consisting of legendary All Black captain Wayne 'Buck' Shelford and journalist Phil Gifford, face off against Ellis, comedian Mike King and Australian Warriors import Jason Death. Quiz rounds include quickfire, guess who and improvised commentary. King's trivia smarts make him "player of the day" while Gifford's sports commentary is his moment to shine.

...I've got to disagree with all of you here. Like we can't all be 'body beautiful' and perfect, and he's out there in the park doing his best, keeping himself fit and trying not to look like too much of a goose.
