Neil Jenkins is a rugby legend, the working class hero from the Valleys who remains unaffected by fame and his astonishing achievements in the world game. When he announced recently his retirement from international rugby, Wales’s most capped player left behind an incredible legacy, not least his record as the top points scorer in test rugby, the first man to break the magical thousand points barrier. This official programme tells the official story of ‘the Ginger Monster’, the boy who, by grit, determination and talent clambered to the very pinnacle of the game. It tells how he had to overcome prejudice and the critics to prove he deserved his place among the all-time Welsh greats. It includes memorable action from his career with Pontypridd, Wales and the British Lions in South Africa in 1997, which to many was his crowning glory. With extensive interviews with the man himself and contributions from among others, Phil Bennett, Jonathan Davies, Rob Howley, Scott Gibbs and Jonny Wilkinson, Jenks is an affectionate tribute to a player who is held in such affection. He is still one of the boys, but he is also a true sporting hero. |

First and foremost, don’t buy this DVD if you’re looking for a review of the tournament, or even a wholly unbiased summary of the matches involving Wales. That’s not what we’re talking about here. If you’re English, Scottish, Irish or French, you won’t be interested – this DVD has not been put together with you in mind, so steer clear to avoid disappointment. If, however, you’re Welsh, and aged between 7 and 70, read on. This is a celebration of the season we had all waited for for 27 years: the season that saw Welsh rugby throw off the shackles off under-achievement, that saw running rugby win the day, that saw the little guy put the big guy on his a*se. The season that saw Wales win the Grand Slam in Cardiff. First concern: is this out too soon? England’s World Cup review came out within weeks, and led to widespread disappointment, and a flood of English fans being forced to buy the Final DVD as well. This selection appears less than a month after Michael and Alfie raised the trophy in Cardiff, so it’s only natural that similar concerns should arise here. But worry not. We’re treated to full highlights (not just the scores, but around half an hour of action) from all five games – and by God, does it bring it back. Hiding behind the sofa as Gav lined up his penalty against England (not a luxury afforded me at the stadium first time round!) and actually leaping as it sailed over – only coming back to earth to appreciated Eddie Butler’s, “Shave away, Gavin, shave away!” There’s an in-depth interview with Martyn Williams, as well as talking heads from a lot of the other lads (Stephen Jones, Ton Shanklin, Michael Owen, Mike Ruddock and others), which is interesting in itself: there’s also rundown of the top ten best Welsh tries of the tournament, as a lovely little extra, which bears repeat and repeat and repeat viewing. This is not a historical record – this is a historical celebration, a celebration that you will be proud to share with your kids and your grandkids in years to come. Apologies if this sounds melodramatic, but Welsh rugby fans will understand. If there’s one thing better than being able to say, “I was there”, it’s being able to say, “I was there. See?” Buy it. Watch it. Love it. |
