Michael gets a colorful background as he reports on the
results of the England/France semifinal from Paris.
(Still, how weird is it to see him identified as
CNN SPORTS
CORRESPONDENT in the
transcript?)

2007 Rugby World Cup
For three
weeks in October 2007, Michael became a sports
correspondent,
covering the Rugby World Cup for CNN International,
first from Marseilles and then Paris.
His unique perspective as a former pro rugby player
plus his incredible enthusiasm for the sport
radiated through all his reporting, most of which was
done
from various locations where fans were gathered to watch
the matches.
(No dull pressboxes for Michael!)
He filed 48 reports for International,
plus an additional 4 that aired on Domestic.
Many thanks to Délie (in Paris) for the original clips
she was able to grab
and upload for me, and to Mavis (in Atlanta) for getting
final versions for me.
Because there are a finite number of clips from the RWC,
they are arranged in the order they aired,
first to last.
