Rugby World Cup 2003 - The Collection DVD

Advantages: piece of history
Disadvantages: price

...I think that this an excellent way to sum up the English win at the 2003 rugby world cup. This DVD is a must have for all of those English rugby fans out there who want to treasure a little part of history on DVD. Throughout this DVD there is tension and suspense time and time again after already seeing it several times. The quality of the DVD is excellent and truly remarkable. The sound quality is tremendous on both accounts of the crowd and the commentators. The DVD has only the best parts of the game, which in some ways is a lost because it would have been nice to have the whole match on DVD as well as the highlights throughout the game.

Advantages: A quick hit - the story of the tournament on a single DVD
Disadvantages: Very Aussie centric

...The official review attempts the impossible, compress the 2003 Rugby world cup onto a single DVD. however it does a pretty good job showing most of the higlights of the opening rounds and spending a reasonable amount of time on the knock-out stages. The coverage is from the local broadcasters and is typically very Aussie centric, I've yet to hear a commentator from that part of the world who even attempts to be impartial !!. All in all a good DVD that makes a good attempt to cover a wonderful torunament but leaves you wanting something with a bit more meat on it. If you can get a cheap one in the sales it makes a good stocking filler for any relatives with a Rugby addition, but don't go paying full price.... Read review

Advantages: freeze frame facility, chapters, commentary
Disadvantages: none

...This DVD certainly looks impressive. I really enjoyed the Rugby World Cup in 2003 and I thought this DVD was the best way to relive the final action. It includes interviews from both of the competing teams, and their coaches and staff. I found the freeze frame facility very good for looking at the way the teams put together their moves during the game and I also found the commentary - from an Australian point of view - very interesting. You can choose to watch the whole match with the Australian commentary, or with a commentary from Martin Johnson, or you can choose to view chapters separately. There is also a musical interlude. The quality of this product was very good and I thought it captured the atmosphere of the tornament ery well. This is an excellent piece of entertainment and a fantastic souvenir for any rugby fan.... Read review
