On the Home Nations front the programme features all the great English teams including Poulton Palmer and Wavell Wakefields' side of the 1920s who won three Grand Slams and Eric Evans' 1957 Gran Slam-winning team, the first since 1928. The 1970s and 1980s were dire periods for English rugby with the mighty exception of Bill Beaumont's 1980 Grand Slam side. However, England's rightful place at the top of the Five Nations tree returned in the 90s with Will Carling's epic treble Grand Slams of 1991, 1992 and 1995.
It was the arrival of Clive Woodward in 1998 that really set England on the road to world domination, although the Grand Slam seemed an elusive prize as England fell at the final hurdle, four years in a row, from 1999 to 2002. However, England went into the 2003 Six Nations on the back of sensational performances against New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in the Autumn Internationals and wrapped up the Grand Slam after tearing the Irish apart 42-6 in a scintillating display of rugby from Lansdown Road. England took this form to the World Cup having beaten Australia and New Zealand again in 2003 and the rest is history. Lawrence Dallaglio reviews England's incredible success and highlights of all the key games and the programme also looks back at the previous World Cup campaigns.
Post World Cup brought the retirement of the likes of Back, Johnson and Sir Clive himself plus long-term injury to our talisman Jonny Wilkinson and England struggled to find their form. However, recent Autumn International displays against New Zealand and Australia have inspired more confidence in the team and they go in the 2007 season with renewed hopes of defending their World Cup crown.
Interspersed with interviews from Rob Andrew, Martin Johnson, Ian Balshaw and Dean Richards, this is quite simply the greatest English rugby DVD ever produced!
