I think the fact that he hit the winning drop-goal off his wrong foot is the most under-stated part of the legend. The man was a freak.
Will almost definitely go down as the greatest 10 off all time, noone can possibly come close to that level of game control.
Nah sorry man. Carter legitimately has him beaten.
+Robert Holloway except for Carter and o Driscoll
O'driscoll was a 13 mate.
The most under stated part of the legend is the fact that he did it with a broken neck...
Not sure what was more epic. The drop goal or the Nigel Owens adverts.
jiinx72 the ref is a legend....
Aussie?
That Jason Robinson celebration after his try gives me goosebumps seeing the amount of adrenaline and passion he was feeling at that moment
That try was immense. Jason was a force of nature.
Billy Whizz loved watching him switch up gear once he'd got the ball. What a player.
I am Sri Lankan, I hadnt watched a single RWC match until that day. I just started watching bcz my entire fmily was watching it. For most of the Sri Lankans, their fav foreign rugby team used to be AB's or Boks. But from that moment on i became an England fan 😌❤
people forget Dawson's run just before the kick, it was probably the most important part of the lead up
Just don't tell Dawson as he'll never let anyone forget it!
You can see the line go to run forward anticipating him to chuck the ball back, but they were like, ehh, hang on, wtf.
THANK YOU!! Ive always had a big bear about that...
(But John's right, don't tell him ;) )
None of that happens without Moody flying in to charge down the clearance kick before we got the ball back.
Without that sliced kick, we’re in our own half.
yes it took the aussies by surprise, but, dawson was buried, and neil back was acting scrum half, and didn't know what to do with the ball, that's when the brilliant captain, martin, screamed for the ball, took it in, and never made a single yard, but what that did was ,it freed up matt, and gave jonny time to set, and then, over it goes
That 2002-2003 England team were awesome.
The 2016 not bad either
I do have great hopes of this England squad. Strength in depth and some real quality. We need to play All Blacks soon. Just to see how close to them we might be .
Ireland beat England in 2017 and New Zealand so no world record win streak or grand slam mate bah ha ha 😁
Deffs
And Ireland got beat by Wales and Scotland so until Ireland actually win a WC, which probably won't happen unless they host it because the Irish only play well when they've got the crowd backing them, then probably best to shut-up. Furthermore, I don't see Ireland atop the record streak with NZ or England either.
That England team was just as hard as nails. Even Jonny Wilkinson who was the poster boy hit well above his weight.
true. They won the 2003 world Cup the same way South Africa won the last World Cup. Physical intimidation. The entire pack were beasts. And the backs were full of hard men as well - Tindall, Robinson, Wilkinson, Greenwood
I was working in a warehouse doing the annual stock take when this was on. We could only listen to it on the radio, but for the last 15 minutes, everyone just stopped working and listened. Even the boss of the entire logistics division stopped and listened and when we heard Wilko score that drop goal, everyone went nuts.
Such a good game. Not even really a rugby fan but what a match and what a finish. You still hear even from Aussie fans how good a match it was, even with the disappointment of losing a final. Just an electrifying finish, like time slowed for a moment.
I was in a remote Thailand restuarant and the TV was tuned into Australian commentry, well as a Brit it was entertaining, they kept repeating that the England team where old and worn out, and they had it in the bag.
I would love to hear those Aussie commentators again.
I was so excited by that drop goal.
why cant you watch it in england
I was on holiday in Thailand escaping the winter.
@@Tiger-lg5of your not patriotic in my opinion
Because I was so excited the England won.
@@Tiger-lg5of i think a lot of you people who have to take holidays abroad hate your own country [ thank you for your polite replies [ thats my opinion [ i know i,m in a minority of one
Nearly 20 years ago now…still remember it vividly! The team was a winning machine. Turned up in Australia as favourites, went home with the trophy…beautiful
Even though we are Welsh, both me and my elderly Mother couldn't contain ourselves when Johnny dropped that goal!
As a English man who works in/with a lot of Welsh. Respects sir.
I have to say, as an Englishman, if it had been Wales instead of England and Stephen Jones instead of Johnny Wilkinson dropping that goal it would still have been fantastic to me. Wishing Wales the best of luck during this World Cup. They are a force to be reckoned with.
I was 5 years old at centre parks. My dad missed most of the first half because I was meeting ‘santa’ 😂 Got to the sports bar which was packed to the brim and I went in the play area of course. Came out of the ball pit when it sounded like the roof had come off the place to see my dad getting picked up by some huge stranger as if my dad was the World Cup. Such a great memory despite being too young to appreciate it!
He missed the first half so you could see Santa?!! Now that is a good Father!!
A breath-taking moment, and I remembered watching it. Johnny Wilkinson was absolutely at his peak. The guy was a field goal wizard, kicking with both legs at different field positions.
This was one of the best rugby matches ever.......Johnny Wilkinson...The Legend...
Sometimes as an England fan you just have to watch this video to feel that warm fuzzy feeling inside again when all seems bleak and dark...
Love being English the only country in the world to have a football, rugby cricket, world Cup 🏆🏆🏆🏴🏴🏴
Is that so? Oh yeah, never thought about it before. Aussies , Saffas and Kiwis must've done 2? French maybe also?
@@realMaverickBuckley two yes but not all three.
Remember watching this final live, probably the best rugby world cup final I've watched!
I was 8 years old at the time, and I remember that exact moment clear as day.
Who’s here after England beat New Zealand to reach the rugby World Cup final
Yh
England are going to win this time
Yes, and we deserved it
Not me
I'm hoping Faf de klerk defeats England!
I remember watching that through my fingers because the tension was so great. It made the joy of winning so much greater. It was a great moment in sporting history
I was in the pub. And at THAT moment, it seemed like everybody in the place screamed at Mike Catt;-
KICK IT OUT....
Probably every Englishman was screaming too.
Well he heard us....
La plus belle finale à mes yeux, avec l excellent Wilkinson qui offre la victoire à l Angleterre avec son drop à la dernière minute !!! 🎶Gogo Johnny GO Go 🎵
Fantastic team full of strong, bloody minded characters. Irish fan
Watched this on deployment in the Falkland Islands...... What a night.... What an unbelievable moment in British sport ....... Still get goose pimples watching it
I love coming back to this again and again over the years. Thank you Johnny and that incredible England team for giving us that very special year
Friends attended the final in 2003 all dressed as QE2 (not the ship). They walked into a pub near the stadium on the day of the match and the place stopped and, of a sudden and to a person, the Aussies in the pub started singing God Save the Queen. Brilliant atmosphere, massive respect to all and sundry!
I was attending a business conference in Victoria, B.C. in Canada when the match was broadcast by CBC in the early hours of the morning. I was the only Brit amongst mostly US and Canadians so I watched the match alone in my room.
When Jonny Wilkinson kicked that wonderful drop goal to seal the match, I roared so loud that I must have woken up everyone on nearby rooms! A night to remember!
HAHAHAHA typical halfback 'i made him look better than he was'
I used to play with Bernard Foley (me half back, him 10) and I tell everyone I taught him everything he knows :p
It's more typical Matt Dawson if anything.
They're both halfbacks...
Will remember that day for the rest of my life absolutely awesome
Whenever I watch this it is like it is live and the goosebumps still go down my spine
all these all blacks being better comments in this current day (2016) are totally irrelevant, no one is disputing New Zealand's dominance in the game.. we're analysing a monumental moment in rugby history which any rugby fan (even the aussies) could appreciate
Completely agree. At least England fans don't act like children when they lose. I don't think it's any coincidence that I'm seeing more and more of this snarkiness in the wake of a whole year undefeated. Bring on the Six Nations!
+TheDanzomanzo England don't f up when they lose
New Zealand are better hahahaha joking fairplay last Saturday
When Johnny nailed that drop goal my shout nearly blew all our windows out at home and gave my wife a heart attack.
That England side was like a huge rumbling machine with jhonny Wilkinson the silk inside the steel
A truly great side.
That back row? Christ. Martin Johnson. Neil Back. Richard Hill. Must have been like hitting a brick wall.
As a Welsh rugby fan who was 14 at the time I remember celebrating so much when England won, never did I realise the grief we would get afterwards almost not worth it 😜
Come on lol they're the Northern Hemisphere gotta want us Brits in their back yard.😊
I was 13 on a scouts trip lol. Listened to it on minibus radio and went absolutely nuts and cried when Wilkinson scored .. my hero growing up lol
Matt Dawson was excellent. I remember watching the "dummy trigger" and knew that was it. Everyone talked about Jonny, but Matt made it for me. Not taking anything away from Jonny mind, all round excellent player, not just a kicker.
What a moment what a game! 20 years ago today!
I’m Irish and admittedly supported England in the final hard not to admire Johnson, Dallaglio n co great side
You England is bloody tiny compared to a lot of countries and it just shows what great spirit we have as a nation to win in so many sports. I know we invented half of them, but still bloody amazing achievement.
England has 11x the amount of people as New Zealand. Yet, New Zealand is the greatest Rugby nation of all time with a mere 4 million people winning 3 times the amount of Rugby World Cups as England.
James Hartnett don’t worry , the influx of Muslims into New Zealand is going to make your population double every 10 years. Do you think that’ll give you more kiwis for sport?
@@jameshartnett6387 that's one sport
James Hartnett I would assume most boys play rugby at school in New Zealand, that is not the case in the UK,so your reasoning does not add up.
@@jameshartnett6387 England has won the Cricket and Football World Cups too. The only country to win all three. And that's unlikely to change any time soon.
Can't forget the experience of watching this epic game live. My best memory as a teenager
I would have been 12 years old and I’ve gotta be honest not a massive rugby fan then or now. But I will never forget my living room erupting as Jason scored his try. My dad (also not a huge rugby fan) knee sliding in front of the tele. Sporting greatness
As a kiwi I will say that English team was awesome.
Best team ever.
@Scott James Johnson better then both them teams.
Iam not a big rugby fan but watching this at the local pub was amazing!!
Just a few hours before 2019 Japan.......and for the first time in 16 years, I believe we CAN win this again. Come on The Red Rose!!!!!
@richard cunningham Don't worry mate...we Boks fooled the whole world.
8 years old.. my family had moved to England a year and a half prior to this and i had just begun to learn rugby and play at school. We had a watch party in the lunch room at 5am. I’ll never forget it.
Remember it like it was yesterday. What a moment.
That was of the best days of my life given it took place in the morning in UK and was at the pub in my 20s. It was long day!
This was on my birthday, also met someone down the pub celebrating their birthday.....what a day!! Great memories.
Thing was this team always said they could do better after every game, awesome.
Wilkinson. Johnson. Dawson. Catt. Total legends. And I'm Scottish.
Fife 1690 yeah there good players and I’m a human
Rugby's greatest day was Wilkinson kicking that drop goal.
Because southern hemisphere domination ended. All Britain could turn round and say 'Take That'. Finally.
Lone Star True and the Northern hemisphere won every Rugby World Cup since then. Even in the 2015 RWC, the last 4 in the semis were all Northern hemisphere 😏
Osisaya237 no they weren’t mate New Zealand won it and they are from Southern Hemisphere. Every team other than England who’ve won it are from the Southern Hemisphere unfortunately
@@jakebrownless557 I know mate, just responding to Lone Star for being overly excited about England's 2003 victory.
Jason Lennard is literally the I.T guy out of 'The Office'. 04:02
"I did a flip pulled over and said what were you worried about?"
Never forget this. What drama. I hope I live long enough to see our football team bring it home at last. Anyway great stuff. These lads are in the history books. Best of luck in France 2023.
Who’s here after the boks just won the cup 2019?
Me, I needed to go to my happy place😫
hefty105 I feel you☹️ we’ll win it next time because I’m sure they’ll be stronger💪
I cycled past Twickenham during Englands last game v France before the World Cup. I had 8 pounds in my pocket. A tout asked if I'd like a ticket, how much would I give for it. '' Everything I've got" I replied. I emptied my pockets and he was good as gold, gave me the ticket and let me have the price of a pint in the ground out of the 8 quid. We trounced the French and I was in SE Asia for the final which I lived and died watching in Thailand. Nothing but nothing could match the thrill of the final whistle. Thank You Boys
We were out when this happened. Me and my friends rushed to my car, hooked on every word coming from the radio in my car. When THAT drop goal was scored my car must’ve looked like the Trotter van when they became millionaires at Sotheby’s. It was rocking and shimmying all over the place.....what a hero you were that day, Mr Wilkinson!!!!
We’re you bumming your mates in the car
Jack Reilly hardly!! We’re all girls, drooling over Johnnie Wilkinson!!
Who’s here in 2019 with England and South Africa in the final next week?
Me
Still get goose bumps years later 👍
i watched it live on tv. and that kick i still watch again n again. the look on face Jeff Howard in stadium was of shock
Goosebumps watching this again
Thanks England 2003 , for making my 30 birthday the best day ever
Jason Robinson.....Electric heels....I still remember that very fondly.....
Still the only northern hemisphere side to win in a Southern Hemisphere dominated sport. Pretty awesome!
Who's your money on this Saturday man?? NZDF here. 🤙🇳🇿
@@kiwi_comanche this aged well
@@kiwi_comanche 🏴
This is so overblown. A northern hemisphere side has been in the final 7/9 times.
JB and the north hemisphere only won it 1/9
I remember watching this live, my family cheered louder than I've ever heard them when that drop goal went between the posts :)
Best day of my life. Got battered and barely remember it but still my top day.
I listened to this on BBC radio because I thought it would be less stressful. It wasn't.
Ive not watched many Rugby games live, but this was one and i will remember it for the rest of my live. Cant believe it was that long ago, i would of said 2010. :/
I rewatch this every year on the 22nd which happens to be my birthday, It's safe to say the England win was more important on the 22nd that day
my birthday too mate :D
I watched this on my own in the front room ( wife not interested in rugby) and in those final few minutes i was on all fours, bellowing, sweating, beating the the floor ...urging the final whistle...and when it went...just WOW! Definitely the top team ,sports moment on television ever for me.
The best thing about Wilkinson was that he wasn't an arrogant prick about how good he was, unlike a lot of todays players.
The face on the Aussie PM!
DickTurpin I couldn’t agree more,I laughed when he lost his seat and the election:straight out of parliament.:
Jonny wilkinson had the england team were ace that day putting the whole world in their place. 👏 was amazing
England was the better team on the night. Everyone remembers where they were when Wilkinson kicked that goal. Cheers from Papua New Guinea!
here after 2019 final, unlucky boys 🏴all respect to South Africa fantastic dominant performance by them🇿🇦
I remember this day everyone was a rugby fan amazing 👏
Dallaglio was an absolute bulldozing beast of a man
That kick really pissed off the Aussie’s lol , I know because I live in Australia lol
I was 6 years old and it pissed me off Hahahaha
No worries mate you win some you lose some it’s only a game, your guys will have their day like us!
That kick made Aussies hate rugby.
I'm an Aussie it was heartbreaking...But phenomenal stuff.
Thanks Martin hope your well best wishes from all of us.
Broke the referee´s heart.
Tell me about it.
Jason Leonard put him in his place, bigtime.
David Kirk wasn't too pleased to hand over the trophey to herman monster
One of the most unspoken things about the whole last couple of minutes, is Martin Johnson recognising before anyone that Dawson is at the bottom of the Ruck and doesn’t want anyone else to make that pass back to Wilkinson. He even takes that ball in and lays right next to where the first Ruck is. That’s some quick thinking Rugby IQ in the last minute of the biggest game of his life.
Very emotional!!!
I was serving in BATUS in Canada with the British army watched the game in the wee small hours of happy days
that was one of the happiest days of my life !
Dawson - so cool under pressure, twice! He had to get that last dummy pass and Aussie offside line just right, nerves of steel! And the sheer nerve to dummy the first time and take those extra yards. Gotta hand it to him, may not have had the best skill set ever etc but mentally he was outstanding and that’s all you need to be a winner! Somehow more pride comes from attitude than does ability!
I don't believe in feelings, but I had a feeling that England couldn't lose this test 🏉 All the best to the Wallabies, from an All-blacks fan 🇭🇲❤️🇳🇿
The greatest day in the history of English rugby.
What a game, and to win the World Cup on my birthday, well that was just priceless 👌👌
2:19 brilliant scenes featured in rugby 08.
First game I ever watched at 6 Year Old, I didn’t even know the rules fully but still remember that drop goal to this day.
Thank you🙏
Still puts a massive smile on my face ☺
20 YEARS TO THE DAY❤
Johnny Wilkinson just shouting WORLD CUP, in the slow motion
England deserved lifting the cup that year, that team was physically strong, super fit but also very intelligent, nothing but class. Was even better they stopped aussie winning it a 3rd time lol.
all these years and this still gets me. when you see Johnson running out....oooooph
Fantastic. Best of luck for this year's World Cup. 🏉🏆🏴🌹🤞🙏
I was there that day. I was an English backpacker living in Sydney, but I had to go man!! I had to be there.
What a day to be English. Come on world cup 2019
That put a shiver down my spine....
I miss that flash photography looks so cool
