DVD Description
All the best bits from Wales's triumphant 2008 6 Nations Tournament

Video Description
They defied all the odds and all the doubters to perform a sporting miracle! Out of the rubble of their Rugby World Cup, Wales are Grand Slam champions once again!

And they did it in style - they ran, they stepped and they lit up the Six Nations. The Red Dragon belching out fire and flame on the way to an extraordinary second Slam in four years!

Led on the field by the mighty Ryan Jones and off it by the dream team of new head coach Warren Gatland and his much acclaimed assistant, Shaun Edwards - Wales was an irresistible, irrepressible force

They claimed their first win at Twickenham for 20 years as they came from 13 points down to stun the English. The Scots and Italy were swept aside and then in the cauldron of Croke Park, the brilliant Shane Williams inspired his side to Triple Crown success at the expense of Ireland.

And then it was France for the Grand Slam at the Millennium. Shane Williams broke the Wales try scoring record and Martyn Williams - who had to be talked out of retirement before the competition had even started - finally, broke the Gallic resistance.

Relive all the best moments from those five magnificent Welsh victories AND on disc two enjoy the entire Grand Slam game again as Wales make their passionate nation proud!

Synopsis
A round-up of all the best action from the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

Customer Reviews

DO NOT BUY THIS DVD
The content of this dvd is absolutely fine. The problem is that the second disc, the one where we actually won the slam, can't get past the menu. And that's on three separate dvd players. And after ordering a replacement disc from Amazon. Hopeless. I'm off to get a refund. Avoid!

Could have been good - but wasn't
As a Wales fan living in India I had all the games recorded live onto DVD and sent - thanks Mum! - but wanted to get this so that I could worship without juggling the disks... but it came and I found that the play back on both disks was jerky - every other second or so and so impossible to watch (regardless of which machine I played it on) - and the menu options on disk 2 did not work fully - so I sent the disks back. Sad - great potential content, rushed out, and not quality checked. I am sure that there is a metaphor for playing Henson at fly half there somewhere, but I can't spot it

Another rushed job
THere's no denying that Wales are the greatest rugby team in the world as some of the enthusiastic reviewers are stating. And there's massive enjoyment to be had watching these DVDs of another great year in the 6 nations for wales.

But we're reviewing the DVDs, not the rugby team. And the DVDs are awful. The 2005 DVD, whilst no masterpiece, is much better - hihglights of the games, presented by Ieuan Evans, chatting to Martyn Williams and talking heads from many others - it was a much better effort.

This 2008 set is rubbish. Just highlights from the game, each one introduced by some boyo voice over. It's a real dissapointment.

Look at the small print on the back and you can see that the production company is in Brighton, ENGLAND. Maybe a touch of sore losers, gutted at the prospect of having to do this job and making a total mess of it on purpose?

Hopefully next time BBC Wales can get the job and do it properly.

Still - you have to own this.
