1999 Rugby World Cup

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

The 1999 Rugby World Cup had it all. More tries, more points and more action packed matches than ever before, culminating in a magnificent win by the Wallabies! So now here's your chance to relive the glory of Australia's victory in the world cup in this video, 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, including eventual champions Australia as they move from Ireland to Wales to England and back to Wales to claim the trophy.

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 set of Coronation Street, for Wales' Ben Evans it was an early morning fishing expedition or, for the South Africans, a visit to curling rink. Wherever the teams went during the World Cup this fly-on-the-wall camera crew went with the team.
