2003 Grand Slam Heroes on DVD is the story of England's 2003 RBS 6 Nations Grand Slam triumph, featuring highlights from all the games.
2003 was an important year in the rugby union calendar with the 2003 Rugby World in Australia looming at the end of the year. Under coach, Clive Woodward, England desparately wanted to put up a good performance in the 2003 RBS 6 Nations. They did, with some scintilating rugby and, of course, continued this great run of form right up to November 2003!
After seven years and several agonising near misses, England went into the 2003 RBS 6 National Championship knowing that this could be the season to secure their first Grand Slam under coach Clive Woodward. Having swept past New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in the autumn anticipation was high.
The big hurdle was France, but once they were beaten at Twickenham in the opening match, expectations were raised. Wales, Italy and Scotland were defeated setting up a titanic 'winner takes all' showdown with Ireland at Lansdowne Road. Two years ago the Irish had upset England's dreams but this time there was to be no mistake.
Revenge was sweet, as Martin Johnson led his men to success in a never to be forgotten victory in Ireland's backyard. Presented by the BBC's John Inverdale this historic DVD captures all the drama of this wonderful Grand Slam with highlights of every England game including the victorious match at Lansdowne Road.
