 Mighty Welsh Dragon Breathes Fire Once More April 18, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Wow what a season for Welsh rugby and this two hour DVD captures perfectly the highlights of the five victories on the pitch as well as some of the behind the scenes tension and excitement as Wales rejuvenated under Gatland, Edwards and Howley swept all before them. I absolutely loved this, and have watched it three times already in the four days since it arrived, and cannot imagine me tiring of it any time soon. I enjoyed the 2005 Grand Slam DVD review with then Man of the Tornament Martyn Williams interviewed by Ieuan Evans but this format works even better I beleive with an overview from the Welsh wizard himeslf Shane Williams whom is so modest in his commentary, in contrast to his world class performances on the pitch which won him the 2008 Man of the Tournament award as well as the deserved accolade from many critics that he is currently the best player in the World. The DVD captures what rugby and the Grand Slam means to a passionate rugby nation on the day of the French match when no amount of rain can dampen the spirit and expectation of the fans, and their desire to see the boys as they make their way through Cardiff to the ground on the coach. Then you have the poignant sight of Manon and Gwenan, the daughters of one of the greatest heroes of both Welsh rugby and culture, Ray Gravell trying to catch rain drops before the team arrives at the Millennium Stadium. At half time with the game far from won, who else but Shaun Edwards to rally our boys and remind them that just another 40 minutes of pain and putting their bodies on the line will see them write their names in history. Then having won the Slam, the euphoric atmosphere both on the pitch (which my son and I were lucky enough to witness live) and in the changing room after is priceless and you insticntively sense that these boys didn't just want to win it for themselves, but also for each other because the cammaraderie is so apparent, despie the intense rivalry that existed during the tournament from the twenty nine in the squad for the starting fifteen shirts, and of course Gatland dealt with some of those challenges so superbly by playing in most games both Hook and Steve Jones, Huw Bennett and Matthew Rees, Mike Phillips and Dwayne Peel, Gethin Jenkins and Duncan Jones, and so on, These boys are now deservedly legends taking their place alongside the 70's greats so many of us grew up with and adored. I loved every moment of this fitting tribute to the playing and coaching heroes of Welsh rugby's tenth Grand Slam.
6 Nations in 2 hours August 29, 2008
After reading negative reviews I was apprehensive about buying this DVD. However, I'm glad I eventually succumbed as it's really enjoyable and a great way of reliving the 2008 Grand Slam in around 2 hours. It contains highlights of the 5 matches with commentary, interviews with the players and footage from the locker room. Gatland and Edwards are interviewed numerous times and Shane Williams gives his perspective and talks us through his tries after each match. A great package!
 Wales Grand Slam 2008 - 7 days to glory April 15, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Having watched this DVD can anyone explain the title to me. There are no 7 days build up to the grand slam it leaps straight to the day of Wales -v- France from the Ireland game.
The behind the scenes stuff is barely 5-10 minutes long and can in no way be compared to Living with Lions 1997.
Having said that you do get a good highlights package of all the games with some press interviews and a decent narration.
 Disapointing April 16, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was so exctited to see this DVD a chance to see the mighty Welsh rugby team preparing for one of the biggest games in our history only to be massively disapointed by a serious lack of behind the scenes footage, where have the other 6 days gone!! This programme cant even be saved by the highlights as they are far too short to really tell the story.
