Led Zeppelin's
Achilles' Last Stand over a montage of first-half highlights from the crucial
England v Australia game in
Pool A. Presumably chosen because its massive juddering riff and vaguely heroic subject matter symbolise the physical conflict of a top-level rugby game in some way, or maybe someone just thought it was a cool tune, which of course it is. Here's a live version from
Knebworth in 1979 featuring Jimmy Page at the height of his cadaverous junkie zombie
period.
