I know it's Loog, but This Sporting Life was pretty good. Cricket is also pathetically represented in fillums. Matches in Tom Brown's Schooldays showing obviously modern equipment, clothing, stumps.

I feel the game of rugby gets big one sided wins based on not much difference in quality at the moment. Play that game again with the same players and you could get a vastly different result.
