Skin and Bone
Television (Full Length) – 2003
There's contracts - and there's honour and loyalty.– Tupper (Roy Billing)
This is a team game, and the town's the team. That's the way it's always been, and that's the way it'll be, right to the end.– Tupper
The film has a very ambivalent attitude to rugby. It shows it being beautiful. It shows it being violent. You see the whole thing.– Actor Charles Mesure, in a 17 October 2003 NZ Herald interview
