Rugby World Cup 2003

Jonny Wilkinson & Richard Hill The star of the 2003 Rugby World cup was England's Jonny Wilkinson. He ended the tournament as the highest points scorer and famously with 34 seconds to go of extra time he slotted a drop goal which ensured his place and England in the history books.

The funny thing about Clive Woodward's England team was that they never really clicked and had shown much better form ahead of the tournament.

The silent star of the tournament was Richard Hill who came on against France and from that moment on England were a better team but still did not look like that all conquering England of the year ahead of the World Cup.
