The Springboks - Tri-Nations Champions 2004
08th February 2009
|
What could not be said about the Bokke? 2003 Was the worst year for springbok rugby as Rudolph Streauli put them through Camp Stalingrad - naked training, forcing them underwater….basically not he best way to get the best out of a team. Along came Jake White and took over the reigns as the Tri-Nations season drew nearer. Not much was being said about this team until their first few games. Along came the Tri-Nations that saw them pitted against the best two teams in the world, Australia & New Zealand. Away from home they nearly got two unbelievable wins only to be shoved out the way during the last few minutes of each game. The home leg of the T-Nats was ever so sweet for the Boks and supporters. They thrashed New Zealand and finally beat Australia in a nailbiting finish. This DVD is the king of Bok rugby at it’s best. You could not do without this if you are a Rugby Fan. |

Top Of The World - England Rugby

As Clive Woodward’s men descended upon the Southern hemisphere for the final leg of a long hard season, history was to be created. Victory over the New Zealand Maori kicked off the Zurich Summer Tour of Australia and New Zealand, but two further stern tests lay ahead: The Siege of Wellington – New Zealand 13 – 15 England England have had many special days but this was something extraordinary! Fifteen points from the boot of fly-half Johnny Wilkinson handed England their first victory over the All Blacks on New Zealand soil for 30 years. It was far from a classic, but the performance epitomized the spirit of Clive Woodward’s team, as they stood firm when it mattered the most. With the rain sweeping the ground, conditions were difficult. Reduced to 13 in the second half, the All Blacks had the advantage but were unable to turn over a resolute England defence and four times a six-man English pack survived the onslaught of a full All Black scrum. It was England’s day as they created their own slice of history. The Massacre in Melbourne – Australia 14 – 25 England History created as the Wallabies are defeated on their own turf and the season ends with a perfect ten. Combining forward power with pace in the backs, England romped home to victory in Australia’s own back yard for the first time in history. Touching new heights, England’s aerial dominance was only one aspect of a thoroughly convincing performance. Jonny Wilkinson was having one of those days, as he carved open opportunity after opportunity with a fine array of angled and short passes, and when he timed his delayed pass to perfection for Northampton Saints man Ben Cohen, the big winger sidestepped the Wallabies’ fullback Chris Latham to score under the posts for England’s third try. Sailor went over for a deserved try near the end, but England were out of reach and Wilkinson capped off the day with a penalty on the final hooter. |
