A drop-goal from the best out-half on the planet, Jonny Wilkinson, at the end of the second period of extra-time gave England a 20-17 victory over Australia
in rain-swept Sydney today.
Then with the wind and rain at their backs Australia clawed their way back with three Elton Flatley penalties, the equlaiser on the stroke of full-time.
Wilkinson edged England in front with a superb long-range effort at the start of added-time, Flatley tied it up again late in the second period but Wilkinson had the final say, his first successful drop-goal goal from four efforts giving England the Webb Ellis trophy.
