DVD Description

This is the thrilling Rugby World Cup 2003 Final – in full, from first whistle to last, culminating in the joyous moments when England became World Champions. The programme features a stylish and comprehensive build-up including quotes and clips of great moments from earlier World Cup 2003 matches, plus, a brief reflection of the previous four RWC finals, emphasizing the magnitude of this event.

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Is history written by the losers ??, 26 April 2004

By	CAK (Middleham, North Yorks) - See all my reviews

My anticipation awaiting delivery of THE Final was hard tobear.
Everything about this double DVD set looks brilliant, but!
THE Final is the Australian Version, no they don't win, but the commentryis by 2 Aussies, who think the match is between the homeland and theconvicts!
Enough now!, the main point is that, the action is all from pitch level,it's very fast moving,actually too fast, as it follows close up veiws ofball and players faces & hands.
You don't see the goals,honest, you see Jonny kick but it just goes offinto the night, where as the Wallabies goals are shown in full.
If youcan get the UK TV broadcast which follows the play AND surrounding action,I would do

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected !!, 30 Mar 2004

By	Quinny (Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Having read the previous reviews for this DVD, I eagerly ordered my copy and when it arrived yesterday I was over the moon...especially after losing to France at the weekend.
I rushed home to re-live the fantastic occasion and was very disappointed. To be fair, I’ve only watched the game so far, and the extras might be excellent, but the game is what I wanted.
Its annoying from the very beginning, the camera angles are terrible and don't seem to be able to keep up with play...nearly all the shots are from ground level, so you don't get the full picture. After 10 minutes of this I had a headache ! It soon became clear that it was Australian camera's, e.g. whenever Jonny has a kick at goal, you don't see the ball go through the posts...you're busy watching the reaction of the other players, but you get to watch all of Elton's attempts.... this is even the case for the winning drop goal !! I never imagined that a DVD of the final wouldn't have the famous drop goal replay we've all seen.
Oh, and despite the reviews, you do get the Australian commentary…( but that is quite funny)
That’s the worst of it...I was personally, very disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just to clear matters up..., 12 Jul 2004

By	Mr R William Bowen (London, UK) - See all my reviews

...so far all reviews have been of 'The Movie', i.e. the first track on Disc 2. The first track on Disc 1 is the final as we watched it live, with replays, balls going betwene posts etc etc. OK, you still get the dire Aussie coverage ("This must be the stairway to rugby heaven!", "Surprise surprise, Georgie's going for the points!"), but the match is there on Disc 1. The fault is in the packaging, which doesn't advertise this fact.

Overall, an excellent souvenir package, and you know that the dropped goal will come on at parties time and again. To be recommended...
