Customer Reviews

the one we've been waiting for !!!
The 2 Disc Wales Grand Slam was great, but this is the one i've been waiting for. A 5 disc set with every second of every game from our great Grand Slam win this year. Aswell as every game there are interviews & behind the scenes footage showing how the team won this famous Grand Slam. A must have for every true Welsh Rugby fan !!!

I've waited so long for this one.
This is what I've been waiting for for a long time. I've got the one for the 2005 six nations and I've been crossing my fingers that they would release one for 2008 as well. Its the sort of thing that no Welsh supporter can ever be without. I'm 15 and I've supported Wales all my life. These DVDs are the sorts of things that I'll be showing to my children and my children's children, to show them how our great country achieved what we all thought to be impossible (twice!!!!!!).

Stay tuned though, because come this time next year and there might even be a 2009 version of this dvd. And that's me being realistic. We've had a great Autumn and we beat the Aussies (and the Canadians, and 6 points off beating the springboks). We've also been crowned 5th on the IRB world rankings, and if you wanna know who we'll be facing at the World Cup in New Zealand in 2011, visit the IRB website.

Buy this DVD, its an essential that you just CAN'T go without.

Good...............for what is it
This is definitely worth buying it has every game in full of the 6 nations win on 5 discs but to me i guess it could have been a better set over all. For starters there's that why is it on 5 discs when the 2005 set was 3. The 2005 set also has a choice of welsh or english commentary for those that might like to choose or prefer to have a welsh commentary for the matches. Next is the lack of any extras on the discs if all you want is the matches that's what you get. As another reviewer has pointed out there's also no clock on the matches so you can't tell where you are in the match. Also I'm not a fan of having the score of each match on the back of the cover it's not needed and compared to the 2005 set it feels a little cheep in how its made. There's plenty of plastic to hold the discs and the cover itself doesn't have the solid sturdiness that the 2005 set has. although they are mostly quibbles i just feel that it could have been better presented but still get 4 stars as the content is worth it with a star knocked off for the overall presentation.
