Its tough to figure out. Movie studios could be trying to cash into rugby like they tried to cash in the ultimate fighter phenomenom with that movie Never Back Down or with the poker craze and movies like Rounders or Deal. Or it could be that they have made too many formulaic football movies and have to apply to same script to other sports. Whatever the reason, I will probably watch Forever Strong. Sean Astin probably took the role because he needs an excuse to wear short shorts again like in Rudy. Worked once for his career, why not try it again.

When Kanye asked him to do one for him, this is what he came up with:
