After their World Cup heroics in New Zealand the big question was, could Wales build on those impressive foundations by winning a third Grand Slam in eight years? Under Warburton’s inspirational leadership the answer was an emphatic ‘YES!’
With Warren Gatland masterminding proceedings, Wales swept all before them to notch their 11th Grand Slam and become the best team in the Northern Hemisphere. It was a memorable, remarkable achievement which ranked with those of the famous teams of the 1970s and took the game to new heights in terms of power, poise and performance.
Wales Grand Slam Champions 2012 is the only way to re-live the magical moments and the exclusive interviews take you behind the scenes to find out how the Slam was won. With cameras from inside the camp, this DVD charts the entire campaign providing an incredible insight into the unfolding drama both on and off the pitch.
There are extensive highlights from all five matches – the astonishing, last gasp victory over Ireland, the Leigh Halfpenny inspired win over Scotland, the nail-biting Triple Crown triumph over England at Twickenham and then the World Cup revenge mission over France that sent a packed Millennium Stadium in Grand Slam dreamland.
You can see behind the scenes material from the cryotheraphy chamber training camps in Poland, as well as ‘access all areas’ scenes from the whole campaign. There are contributions and interviews from Warren Gatland, Sam Warburton, George North, Leigh Halfpenny, Alex Cuthbert and Rhys Priestland.
