World In Union - The History Of The Rugby World Cup (DVD)

Advantages: Some great action for rugby fans, Extras are very good
Disadvantages: A Little rushed, Too much time spent on opening ceremony

...With the Rugby world cup 2007 fast approaching, I decided to root out this DVD, which I had bought as part of a set of four after the 2003 event. As a big Rugby union fan, I definately enjoyed this DVD, which features all the best tries, tackles, kicks and performances from the wonderful tournament. However it does feel a little rushed, and way too much time is spent watching the highlights of the opening ceremony. The rugby action is good, but the chapters can sometimes look more like montages than actual rugby footage.

Advantages: piece of history
Disadvantages: price

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.

Advantages: see a nothern hemisphere finally win the world cup
Disadvantages: price

...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 world cup 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 this...
