Up 'n' Under is a 1984 comedy by English dramatist John Godber [1] (born 1956).

Up and under is a tactical kick in rugby league in which the ball is kicked high and short onto or behind the defending team. The plot followed the story of an inept pub team from the Wheatsheaf Arms pub in a rugby league sevens competition in Kingston upon Hull in England.
