ENGLAND ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!
Now there is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England.
"Jason Robinson [was] always forever dangerous"
Greg Growden - Sydney Morning Herald
"He's outstanding under pressure."
Australia captain George Gregan
"It's no surprise that Johnson, after he took the cup from Australian Prime Minister John Howard, could be seen mouthing the words "f---ing fantastic" as he lifted the trophy above his head."
Michael Donaldson - Sydney Morning Herald
"You slug it out for 100 minutes, and you get beaten in the 99th minute. England were outstanding ... they are the best team in the world by one minute. But they still should be lauded as the best team in the world."
Australian coach Eddie Jones
"We've taken a lot of crap but we have taken the moral high ground and done our talking on the pitch. To take the trophy away from the southern hemisphere is a very special feeling."
England's Lawrence Dallaglio
What an awsome match!! never watched it before but it was truly amazing to see England win in the last two minutes!!
