5.0 out of 5 stars
lots of last-minute heroics,
By
This review is from: Rugby World Cup 2003 Final Match - England vs Australia (DVD)
England was favored ("were favored" for the Brits) here, and this turned out to be a very exciting match. Lots of momentum shifts and last-minute thrills. England had a 9-point lead at halftime, and saw this lead squandered in the final minute or two of regulation when Flatley tied the scores at 14-all on a penalty kick. In the extra time periods, both sides had successful kicks, and the score was tied at 17-all with only about 10 seconds to play in the second extra time period.England got the ball from their scrum, successfully passed to Jonny Wilkinson, who drop-kicked the winning goal with 5 seconds left. For any American football fans who say "yeah, yeah. I see that 5-6 times a seseaon--a winning field goal as time expires", you need to understand that there aren't any time-outs, incomplete passes, quarterbacks spiking the ball. So you need all kinds of things to go just right--the ball releasing from the scrum quickly, a good pass and catch, and finally, a successful drop-kick (which isn't easy--there are few decent drop-kickers, Wilkinson being one), and the Wallabies are charging at you in the meantime. So a very dramatic finish, and a fine video with excellent production values--a running time of over 3 hours.

Jessica's Review,
This review is from: Rugby World Cup 2003 Final Match - England vs Australia (DVD)
I really like this. I like watching rugby, but I don't have to right channels to watch it on tv, so this is the next best thing.

The game they play in heaven,
By Nate (Brisbane, QLD AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rugby World Cup 2003 Final Match - England vs Australia (DVD)
Definitely one of the greatest games of rugby ever. Even though I would have liked to have seen Australia win, this was still a great, edge of your seat game of rugby. I will remember this game for the rest of my life and now I own it I can re-live it over and over. My heart sank when Jonny Wilkinson kicked that winning field goal. The DVD quality is excellent so if you already own it on VHS i definitely recommend purchasing it on DVD. Congratulations to England, they deserved the win, afterall the whole team especially the forwards played really well, even though most of the points came from Jonny's boot.
