their supporters. Branded the worst team ever to defend the trophy, England struggled against the USA, a team they expected to beat comfortably, before crashing to a humiliating 36-0 defeat at the hands of the South Africans. Even the most passionate English fan envisaged more misery to come and a quarter-final defeat at best.Thankfully, rugby is gloriously unpredictable. Faced with two crucial knockout matches while still in the group stages, the men in white managed to negotiate their way past the physical Samoa and Tonga sides without ever looking all that convincing. Australia loomed in the next round, aching for revenge for the 2003 final and seemingly certain of victory. Except nobody told England. A mighty performance from the forwards and the ever-reliable boot of Jonny Wilkinson saw them face the hosts in a tense, highly-charged semi-final that see-sawed from one side to the other. England's early lead was overhauled by French penalties before that man Wilkinson once again came to the rescue. This is the comeback of all time and somehow, magically, bewilderingly, wonderfully, England are in the final again to face South Africa, their destroyers from the group stage. If this was a Hollywood script, you wouldn't believe it.--Alex Hinton

Advantages: Some great action for rugby fans, Extras are very good Disadvantages: A Little rushed, Too much time spent on opening ceremony
...at the non-rugby features, for example the opening ceremony and the fans. These chapters are not great to watch, I usaually skip them, and so it would be better if more time had been used showing some of the brilliant rugby that was on display throughout the tournament.
This DVD is also not for those who are looking for a review of the tournament from an english (or any other nations) point of view. The DVD aims to look at the tournament from a neutral spectators point of view, and so does not heavily feature any teams worldcup campaign. (For those looking for an eEnglish point of view, look for 'EnglandsStory' by the same company)
EXTRAS
This DVD features the entire Wales vs New Zealand game, which is a great bonus, and probably worth the money alone, as this is a great game from start to finish, with Wales pushing the tournament...

...I think that this an excellent way to sum up the English win at the 2003 rugbyworldcup.
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. The action replays and camera angles of the tackles and tries in this DVD are some of the best that I have ever seen.
If you are wanting to keep a part of history about England's first...

Advantages: see a nothern hemisphere finally win the world cup Disadvantages: price
...to catch all of them bone crunching tackles or brillant pieces of indivual skill.
however my only critism is that i believe that there should of been seperate features for things like the best try of the tournment, biggest blunders, best tackles and pickin team of the tournment.this would have made the dvd more entertaining.
the only problem i can see is the price which i may think put people of buying it, which is a real shame. however always keep looking though i am sure you will be able to find on cheap online.
CONCLUSION
i believe that this worldcup was the most
a) enjoyable
b) thrilling
c)exicting
so if you are a rugby fan then this will keep you going. it will remind you of the best and worst moments of the tournment. if you are an england fan then history was made in this tournment so buy it and be able to relieve...
