They defied all logic and form. They beat the two time Champions! They beat the hosts! They shocked the world! And maybe, just maybe, they could have made history and retained the William Webb Ellis Cup. England at the 2007 Rugby World Cup - it's one of the greatest sporting stories of all time! Has there ever been a comeback of such magnitude? Derided and dismissed - a nation in desolation after a 36 point whitewash against South Africa in the Pool stages. Brian Ashton's boys were down but most definitely not out. Inspired once more by Jonny Wilkinson and powered by the fury of a thunderous pack the Red Rose rallied. They were too strong for Samoa and Tonga but a familiar foe was waiting for a quarter final in Marseilles - Australia! With mighty Andrew Sheridan rampant, the Aussies were destroyed and distraught. Then it was French tears in Paris. The hosts left singing Les Bleus as England's ace marksman Jonny cut them down. Nobody thought it possible. Against all the odds England was in the World Cup Final. This DVD also contains a second disc with the entire Semi-Final between hosts France and England. Plus exclusive interviews and behind the scenes look at England's World Cup journey.
