Former England head coach sir Clive Woodward relived details about the extra time team talk during the 2003 Rugby World Cup final against Australia in Sydney.

Woodward revealed that fly half Jonny Wilkinson practiced his goal kicking instead of joining the huddle, which Woodward said made him “chuckle”.
England were drawing 17-17 thanks to penalty kicks from Wilkinson and Wallaby centre Elton Flatley until Wilkinson slotted the famous drop goal to win the World Cup in dramatic style.
Woodward received a knighthood for this success and he also took charge of the 2005 British & Irish Lions Tour and held roles with Southampton Football Club and the British Olympic team.
