This documentary features players from two of the world's best gay rugby teams; sentimental favourites, San Francisco Fog and feisty upstarts, Sydney Convicts, as they prepare to compete for the 2006 Bingham Cup, in New York City. The history of the Bingham Cup began on September 11, 2001 when Mark Bingam, a gay rugby player, courageously stormed the cockpit of Flight 93, successfully preventing the high jackers from turning the flight into a terrorist weapon. Mark's memory was later honoured in 2002, when San Francisco Fog launched a biennial rugby tournament called the Bingham Cup. In just four short years, the number of teams competing in the Bingham Cup grew from eight to 30.
Now I know why Gronk is really in San Francisco
