After six intense weeks of competition, England faces off against the defending champions, Australia. The teams remain deadlocked after eighty minutes of play. As the match stretches into extra time, only two minutes remain. England advances to within 40 yards of the goalposts. The ball is swiftly passed back to Jonny Wilkinson, the star of English rugby, who, in a heartbeat, executes a drop kick aimed at securing a place in sporting history. This remarkable tale of pressure, expectation, and bravery traces its origins to the sport’s professionalization in the 1990s, culminating in the triumphant 2003 World Cup campaign that transformed Woodward’s challenging journey into a celebrated victory.
