Australian Rugby Books @ Amazin

Once Were Warriors (2003) DVD Avg. Customer Rating: A compelling behind the scenes expose' of the tragic yet rapid decline of Australian rugby. Contains excellent ancient archival footage of when the Wallabies were actually quite good. Also includes wonderful widescreen footage of their 2002 loss to Ireland (snigger), the dreary, soul-less win against Wales and their Anus Horribilus, the holy trinity of dickings - England, South Africa, and New Zealand (times 2, no less). In addition there is rare, brutally honest footage of the TNT courier blokes, bit by bit packing and shipping off the contents of the ARU trophy cabinet that they're always banging on about (such as the only trophies that count for anything, ie. the Super12, Cook Cup, Mandela Plate, Trinations trophy, Bledisloe Cup). Never has a team fallen so far, so quickly...The 2003 Wallabies, deah-oh-dear-oh-dear! "Christ, they were shite weren't they?" ~ New York Times
