The move that won the World Cup

"Never has there been such a tight World Cup final. This is just drama to the nth degree," - Ian Robertson, 5live rugby correspondent.

With just a minute and 40 seconds of extra time remaining in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final, Australia's Elton Flatley has kicked a penalty to level the scores at 17-17.

England, who have led for much of the game, could be forgiven for feeling frustrated. Instead, they gather themselves for a big last effort.

Jonny Wilkinson kicks long from the restart and Lewis Moody pressures Mat Rogers into screwing his punt into touch.
