Movie Review

Sporting chance for all

Australia may have missed taking the prize at the World Cup, but Army has the goods with a set of four sporting books to give away courtesy of publishers Random House.


One Step Ahead by Rod Macqueen with Kevin Hitchcock is a look at the strategies for rugby and life as applied by one of Australia's great union coaches.

Rupert Guinness' Aussie Aussie Aussie Oui Oui Oui is a look at the years past of Australian cyclists competing in the most gruelling of all events - the Tour de France. This book looks at the achievements of men like Hubert Opperman and Stuart O'Grady and Phil Anderson.

Schumaker: The Official Inside Story of the Formula One Icon is self-explanatory. Devoted half to text and half to photos, it is a must for the Team Ferrari fans.

Last, but by no means least, is the updated Wallaby Gold, the history of Australian rugby union, a complete look at the national team since its inception in 1899. This book includes all the information any die-hard Wallaby fan needs.

To take home these books all you need to do is answer one simple question. Where was the 1999 Rugby World Cup final played?

Email your answers to armynews@defencenews.gov.au with your name and full mailing address.
Only one entry per person is permitted and the winner will be drawn on December 19, with the books mailed out for Christmas.
