England world champions!

The England team brought London to a standstill today as the victory parade made its way to Trafalgar Square


Go Go, go Johnny go go go

 

 

England's historic 20-17 victory over Australia in the Rugby World Cup final has drawn praise from all quarters of the rugby world.

Fly-half Jonny Wilkinson secured the game for England with a last-gasp drop goal in extra-time, and in doing so sealed the nation's greatest sporting triumph since 1966.

Skipper Martin Johnson produced one of the performances of his career to become the first player to lead a northern hemipshere side to the world title.

And while the defending champions Australia fought valiantly, they were ultimately undone by the unerring accuracy of England's vice captain, who finished the match with an individual tally of 15 points.
