Video Description
RWC 2007 Official Review is the definitive story of the most exciting and unpredictable tournament in the event's history, featuring every incisive run, defence-splitting pass and bone-jarring hit from pool stage to final.

A tournament of extraordinary upsets, RWC 2007 sees the rise of Argentina, the renaissance of the powerful Tongans and the return of the brilliant Fijians, as well as the resurgence of the northern hemisphere nations in the quarter-finals as England send Australia packing and France despatch favourites New Zealand.

After their humiliating defeat by South Africa in Pool A, England recover their pride and purpose in one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history, beating France in the semis en route to an epic re-match with the Springboks in the final. Re-live every moment as Jake White's superb South Africa side, featuring the likes of Habana, du Preez, Matfield and Botha, sweep England aside to claim their first world title since 1995.

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

Customer Reviews

very disappointing
As a rugby fan, I was very disappointed with this DVD. After last World Cup's brilliant review I found that this lacked a great deal. For example, the DVD misses out around half the actual tries scored, especially in those games in which a giant plays a minnow team, NZ vs Portugal one of many examples in whcih maybe two or three of the many tries scored are actually shown. As a viewer and fan you'd want and expect to see all these tries/tackles/moments, not to have them completely overlooked! As well as this lack of detail, the commentator Bruce Hamall never misses a chance to have a snide remark about England's "poor" performances which becomes very irritating after a while.
So if you buy this DVD don't expect it to live up to the high standards set by the 2003 world cup review, as a rugby DVD, it's pretty lousy!

Rugby World Cup 2007 - Official Review
High quality dvd, with good reviews and summary of the world cup. A bit brief in certain moments, such as Argentina's amazing 3rd place playoff win over France, which is shown in one try.

For all rugby fans who want to re-live the RWC '07, this is a good dvd to have!
