• Story Of The 1999 Rugby World Cup | DVD | (01/08/2002) from £13.18   |  Saving you £6.81 (51.67%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The 1999 Rugby World Cup had it all. More tries more points and more action-packed matches than ever before. So now here's your chance to relive the glory of the World Cup presented by former World Cup winning captain Nick Farr-Jones and former England outside half Stuart Barnes. The tournament was the last great sporting event of the Millennium and it didn't disappoint the fans. This film follows the path of each team from the Uruguayans making their World Cup debut with a win over Spain to the eventual champions Australia. Every crucial move and every decisive try is captured but the film also gives you a unique insight into the way the players approached the tournament. How did they fill their time in between matches? For Samoa it was a trip to the set of Coronation Street for Wales' Ben Evans it was an early morning fishing expedition and for the South Africans a visit to a curling rink. Wherever the teams went during the World Cup this fly-on-the-wall camera crew was with them. Relive it again -the 1999 Rugby World Cup.

• Jonah - A Living Rugby Legend | DVD | (12/11/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The sight of All Black's Jonah Lomu pile-driving his way to the try line, carrying half the opposition team on his back, is undoubtedly one of the most exciting in sport, and JONAH stylishly charts the rise of this phenomenal young man. Featuring interviews with the disarmingly boyish star himself, as well as awed tributes from team-mates and opponents, this is a celebration of one rugby union player to have transcended the sport. It's not hard to see why. Lomu off the pitch is personable and self-deprecating. On the pitch he's all but unstoppable, and here's the evidence from his career to date, including amazing footage of Lomu as an enormous schoolboy player in 1993. His unfortunate opponents that day can reflect that the following year Jonah became the youngest All-Black in history. At 63 minutes long, the producers have had to strike a balance between action and context, and though there's only time for the best of the highlights of events at the World Cups in 1995 and 1999 and beyond, it's a largely successful compromise, featuring classic tries that bear repeated viewing. However, Lomu's battle against Nephrotic Syndrome--the kidney disorder that almost snuffed out his career--is glossed over in a couple of sentences, and students of rugby might hope for a little more analysis of the games themselves. That said there's at least a dozen slices of action here that will take your breath away. ON THE DVD: A straightforward text biography and some stats are augmented by 26 minutes of extra footage, including a rather odd discussion about Lomu's favourite music. The temptation to plug his commercial interests is not passed up, though the "Making of..." features on his Adidas adverts are strong enough to merit inclusion. The "Favourite Moments" and "Extra Tries" chapters are the stand-out features. --Alex Hankin
