England v France | Rugby World Cup 2003

They need to show the score board

Enjoying watching full match replays of old RWC matches

Back when a scrum didn't take 5 mins 3 resets and was a exciting part of the game, fix them or lose them..sort it out ffs world rugby.

a really beautiful rendition of the English National Anthem (and French for that matter) Showed real respect,

Eng shud win the final, I think..

You can focus on how Wilkinson kicked infinitely better than Michalak that day and that was clearly a factor in the result. But England just so much fitter, meaner and more up for it than the French, especially in the second half. They played a brutal territory and possession game that no-one had an answer to in this era

So strange how all the high shots and tip tackles are deemed ok but the hit on wilkinson was deemed late. it's a completely different game but hugely entertaining

billy wiz, really enjoy these matches thank you

Rugby union is way more entertaining than American football, and I'm saying that as an American.

Primeiro jogo de rugby que assisti. Desde então, o rugby é o meu esporte. Obrigado ao Rugby.

The stadium looked 95% England fans 😂

Dominici should be red carded for that eye gauge on Martin Johnson, shocking play from him

Ah...before the days of endless caterpillar rucks, pods and aimless box kicking.

‘Aging English forwards’ - gotta laugh at that one considering how they beat everyone!

I remember the national anthems here being unbelievable. I’m English but the end of La Marseilles here had the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end.

4:00 Beautiful

I watched the Match with my little brother and when Betsen made two big hits on Wilko

This latest England team could well emulate this illustrious Word Cup winning team come 2023. I'm not an Englishman, but credit where it's due. Come 2023, the English will be more mature, in body, and experience; a different 'animal', than the one that did so well for it's youthfulness in 2019, for me.

Michalak was so bad this day.
