"England are the World Champions. You Beauties!"

English rugby's greatest triumph.Re-live one of English sport's proudest moments, in a pulsating and nerve-jangling final against the Australians in their own back yard.

Nearly 100 hard minutes on the field in Sydney couldn't seperate the two teams. That was until deep into extra teime, when Jonny Wilkinson struck the most famous drop goal in Rugby World Cup history.

Mission accomplished for Clive Woodward and his men, as Martin Johnson became the first northern hemisphere captain to lift the Webb Ellis Trophy.

  • @binghana We have been patient for 9 years. What `England` has to do is clean out the RFU like an old drain (done). Get rid of 70% of the RFU Council (not done). Put in place a simple structure of people or one person that have/has a shed load of rugby experience at top level to find the right coaching team for the National team (not done), without the interference of stupid old farts, like Martin Thomas, who, thank God, has left (done). Then we might just have half a chance.

  • and although I am so glad we won and this kick was amazing...it would have been interesting to see penalty kick things in a world cup final

  • although this 2012 team we have is crap, in 3 years time, those young boys would have had loads of experience and could be like this team. england just has to be patient...

  • Why do we have to get old, This team was the best one we've had since this world cup - the new team is utter gash, Bring back the WC winners off 2003 :(

  • England are going to win it in 2015

  • Actually brings a tear to my eye. Undoubtedly the best moment in my life!

  • Best rugby match I've ever seen, the play, the tension was amazing. And it's not because I'm English, Hats of to the Aussies, It was a fantastic game.

  • @chanctonbury63. Well, in the four nations in rugby league. eng 28-nz 6

  • @chanctonbury63 BYE..No I am not David Haye, But I would wager a box of cadbury's milk chocolate He would beat New Zealands Best Boxer!.......Read My previous message again, has I never mentioned twice in 02.....??.NOW WHO'S THE DICK?.X

  • @nighterjay God you really are something special. Ive met some myopic, head in the sand little Englanders in my time, but this really is pushing the boundaries. Actually I said 5 times. I was wrong. It IS 6. They beat NZ in `02 and `03 not twice in `02. If you want to keep making a dick of yourself here spouting all this whingy crap then be my guest. Youre not David Haye by any chance are you? Im off.
