MATT DAWSON’S
RIP ROARING RUGBY
DVD released through Revolver Entertainment on Monday 21 November 2011
England Rugby World Cup winner, national sporting hero and top TV star, Matt Dawson, presents an action-packed collection of rugby’s greatest ever players and most memorable moments in ‘Matt Dawson’s Rip Roaring Rugby’ – THE definitive DVD stocking-filler gift for rugby fans this Christmas.
Filmed in the iconic Twickenham stadium, home of English rugby and where the first game was played over 100 years ago in 1909, Matt Dawson relives the sport’s tastiest tries, toughest tackles, best-ever players and greatest games in an hour-long DVD that no rugby fan will want to miss! Packed full of action from the Premiership and top international matches, including England victories in epic battles with Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, this is 2011’s most scrum-ptious DVD, which is guaranteed to get your chariot swinging low and keep you on the edge of your seat for the duration.
Amongst the host of clips featured on the DVD are the best bits of individual and team skill the game has ever witnessed, such as Chris Ashton’s wonder against Australia – considered perhaps the best try ever scored at Twickenham. Plus there’s a recap of the sheer class of Carlos Spencer in an epic England Vs Barbarians game, when a thrilling Barbarians move is finished after his deft dummy.
There’s also a chance to relive England Vs South Africa in 2002 when the Home Nations side made it a hat-trick of wins over the southern hemisphere superpowers. Do not miss the chance to see some of the game’s goofiest gaffes, including Gloucester’s Mike Tindall royally messing up when he inexplicably gives the ball away and there’s also tough tackles, like the crunching clip of Springbok AJ Venter poll-axing England’s Jason Robinson in one of the biggest hits ever felt in rugby.
Known for his quick-witted wisecracks and astute sporting knowledge as current team captain on long-running hit BBC ONE TV show ‘A Question of Sport’, Matt Dawson adds to the excitement of the DVD by revealing exclusive anecdotes from his own rugby career at the top of English game. Dawson himself spent more than 15 years with Northampton, Wasps, England and the British and Irish Lions amidst the mud, blood and sweat of a rugby pitch.
Matt Dawson says: “Rugby is all about the darting runs, the swallow dives, driving through bodies with seconds to spare…and I’m not talking about the rush for last orders at the bar, but tries. It doesn’t matter how it’s done; sometimes they’re a fluke, or a jumbled mess, but every so often, just like these featured on the DVD, they are spectacular!”
