Detail

Home shirt as worn when they won the World Cup in Australia. 

The final was played in front of a Rugby World Cup record crowd of 82,957 spectators, with between 22 and 30 million watching on television, and was refereed by South African Andre Watson. Australia scored first when Tuqiri scored a try in the sixth minute but Flatley failed to score the resulting conversion. England's first points were through a penalty scored by Jonny Wilkinson on 11 minutes and Wilkinson scored a second penalty nine minutes later to put his side ahead of Australia. A third Wilkinson penalty goal after 28 minutes and a 38th-minute try by Jason Robinson which was unable to be converted by Wilkinson ensured England led Australia 14–5 at half-time. The second half saw Flatley score three penalty goals in succession and the result of which meant that regular time ended with both teams tied at 14–14 and required extra time to be played. Wilkinson scored a fourth penalty goal to put England back ahead of Australia in the second minute of extra time before Flatley equalised again with his fourth penalty goal with two minutes of extra time to play. With 28 seconds remaining, Wilkinson scored a drop goal with his right foot to secure a 20–17 victory for England.

England's win was their first Rugby World Cup title and the nation were the first from the Northern Hemisphere to win the tournament, ending 16 years of dominance by Southern Hemisphere teams. Wilkinson was named man of the match and all of the England playing and senior coaching team were honoured within the Order of The British Empire in the 2004 New Year Honours as a result of their victory.
