Millions of viewers in England tuned in to see Martin Johnson’s team defeat rivals Australia and become the first northern hemisphere side to capture the world title. Jonny Wilkinson’s breathtaking, last-gasp effort was all that separated the sides after 100 minutes of captivating rugby and a dramatic extra-time finale. The Final includes full coverage of the celebrations, the trophy presentation and a series of post match interviews with the England captain, coach and other leading players, plus, views from the losing camp. The programme ends with an emotional, stirring and celebratory music piece.
Overall, an excellent souvenir package, and you know that the dropped goal will come on at parties time and again. To be recommended...
Disc 2 is a combination of a Widescreen movie version of the file with really close up camera angles of every play looking at the players reactions etc for the connaiseur, followed by Martin Johnson views being spoken over another run of the highlights.
A superb 2 DVD pack for a great price of this great English Sporting victory and a great DVD to sit alongside the 'England's Story' Double DVD with gives highlights of all of Englands games with great interviews with the players after their return home.
Just a shame the moaners on these reviews didn't have the brains to watch DVD 1 in the World Cup Final pack! HaHaHaHa!!!
For example, when England get their first points you see Wilkinson (in close-up), you see him preparing, you see him kicking, you see him waiting (all still in close-up) and then the commentator tells you that the ball has gone between the posts and England have scored three points, BUT YOU DON'T ACTUALLY SEE IT.
Forgive me, but isn't the idea to see the whole game or is it just enough to see an Australian kicking for touch and the camera staying on him (yes, in close-up)until the ensuing line-out takes place?
Not what I expected, not what I wanted and I suspect many other rugby fans will be similarly disappointed.
"The Match" footage was very poor in the fact that when drop goals or trys were scored the cameras were looking the other way. It gave you no idea what end of the pitch was being played and was for 97% of the time shot from the sideline camera crew.
The Australian commentary was totally biased towards the Australian team, it least the ITV/BBC coverage was equally shared between the 2 teams.
The score or time remaining was not shown during the match which also in my opinion added to the tension.
I only wished I had recorded the final on the day.
The rest of the DVD is great and will be treasured for many years to come, I do recommend it although it's a shame we never had the British commentary and the extended footage after the match.
