England win World Cup

BBC SPORT | Rugby Union | Rugby World Cup | England win World Cup

“Dame Edna Everage, Kylie, Jason, Steve Irwin, Harry Kewell, you boys took a hell of a beating!”

Wilkinson won it with a last minute drop goal, after probably the first time in the match that England got a line-out right.
