Urgent help required!! 😉 Thoroughly depressed by the combination of watching a poor performance by England against Wales this Saturday, an experience always made worse by living as an ex pat in the Principality, I thought I’d cheer myself up by buying a DVD of the 1980 England Grand slam. Imagine my bemusement that there doesn’t seem to be one available, (despite it being the 40th anniversary of the Grand Slam last year, shame on you RFU), in fact having trawled eBay & Amazon it would appear that there never has been unless someone knows of a VHS release. I have managed to find a DVD of the Scottish match from 1980 and one called 6 of the best from the 80’s which includes highlights of the France & Scotland matches, but sadly no Wales match, (The Battle of Twickenham) or the Ireland match. I used to have a recording of the Wales match off Sky Sports but stupidly erased it. Does anyone know if copies are available of these matches anywhere? I’m assuming the full matches still exist, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Hi Ronnie, Thanks for coming back. If you look at the small print it’s only the Scotland match. I nearly fell for it too, luckily I checked the reviews.

Thanks anyway, at least I now know that it was released on VHS & have the details. Have been trawling eBay looking at bundled Rugby tapes, so far no joy but no doubt one will turn up eventually.

Sorry Richard,
I did have the VHS that Simon posted a picture of, however I sold it in January 2021 on EBay.

Success. Now all I’ve got to do is watch it & copy it to DVD.
