The 2003 Rugby World Cup Final, in full. The tension, the pain and the absolute glory...World Cup success, finally. From the first whistle to the nail bighting moments of extra time...and then that drop goal. This is the whole, extraordinary, spellbinding final as Sir Clive Woodward's heroes wrestled the Webb Ellis Cup from Australia's grasp. A massive final with two world class teams going hammer and tongs at each other. Martin Johnson, leading Dad's Army (according to the Australian media) from the front, alongside him an unstoppable English team battling for World Cup glory. Extra time ticking down, moments remaining, another pick up and drive deep in Australian territory and then, as if in slow motion, Matt Dawson delivered the perfect pass to the waiting Johnny Wilkinson. We knew we had to hang in there.
