We can see from this video that Jonny Wilkinson gave the performance of a lifetime to win the World Cup for his team.
The English fly-half put his body on the line in this final as we see him put in a number of dominant tackles throughout the course of the match.
At one point it looked like he wouldn’t be able to continue on in the match as he lay on the floor, clearly in pain, following yet another thumping tackle.
The build-up play leading up to his famous drop goal is just as tense to watch back as it was on that fateful day in 2003.
England fans – you don’t want to miss this.
