England won the 2003 Rugby World Cup Final in unbelievable fashion with a Jonny Wilkinson drop goal with 20 seconds to go in the second period of extra time.
It is every rugby-playing boy's - and girl's - dream: the chance to score the drop goal to win the World Cup Final in the last seconds of the match, and Wilkinson's nerve somehow held to crush the Aussie revival.
And every Aussie's nightmare that they should lose in such a fashion - despite winning the 1999 semi-final by the same means.
The match had finished 14-14 at full time and Elton Flatley had just tied it up again at 17-17 with another coolly-taken penalty. Sudden death beckoned, when England regained field position from the kick off.
Dawson made the crucial extra yards with a typical snipe and Wilkinson did the rest off his right foot having missed three earlier drop goal attempts off his favoured left.
Victory was the least England deserved after dominating possession and territory for most of the 100 minutes without making it count.
England had nosed ahead in the first period of extra time with Wilkinson's fourth penalty only to be pegged back again by Flatley's fourth.
The game was played out in fine rain which the Aussies described as English conditions - and who can argue since the weather at Twickenham at the same time was ... fine rain! It meant that both sides found handling awkward and ant times England made life hard for themselves but over-complicating their play and making unforced errors.
England had taken a half time lead thanks to three Wilkinson penalties and a terrific try from Jason Robinson just before the break.
The opening came from a midfield break by Dallaglio splitting Mortlock and Sailor as the home defence parted, and his inside pass found Wilkinson who timed his ball to Billy Whizz perfectly. Wilkinson couldn't convert from wide out - his only miss from four attempts.
It was no more than England deserved but they had come from behind.
The Wallabies took an early lead when Woodman's punch cost England dear. Play was brought back into the England half for the penalty and though the Wallabies opted for a lineout, the ball came back to Larkham. He kicked high for the corner where Tuqiri beat Robinson in the air and only had to flop over for the score. Flatley's conversion hit the post.
England hit back though, and from then on had the bulk of possession. In teeming rain it was Australian hands that made the most errors, together with two big lineout steals by England to deny home advantage. England on the other hand were superbly controlled in possession, recycling the ball in defiance to the conditions.
Wilkinson's boot duly took its toll, firstly penalising Aussie hands in a ruck, then edging England ahead when Larkham tackled Cohen off the ball, and thirdly when Waugh and Smith broke early from a scrum England looked to be trundling over the line. Larkham's error also cost him a boot in the face and ten minutes in the blood bin.
England though messed up the best chance of the opening exchanges when Hill punished a handling error with a kick ahead, Dawson recycled and Kay drop a scoring pass no more than a metre out. It was the only evidence of world cup nerves by the Lillywhites
Nevertheless England were dominating possession and to the Aussies' evident surprise, spinning the ball wide to Robinson and Cohen.
Then in an extraordinary second half England did not manage a single score despite bossing the game, and the Wallabies clawed back the nine point deficit and gave away no penalties for Wilkinson to kick.
And England, far from adding to their own points tally, allowing the Wallabies chances at goal whenever they got into the England half through careless play. Flatley potted two from three to get Australia back to a three point deficit.
Moreover the English dominance in the scrum was working against them twice England being penalised for slipping bindings when it seemed that the pressurised home front row was popping up illegally.
As England tried again to batter the defence, Wilkinson tried a drop goal but to Aussie jeers this missed as had a first half attempt.
Then with a minute to go ref Watson controversially pinged the England front row in the scrum and Flatley lined up the kick to tie it at 14-14 and take the game into overtime. He slotted it nervelessly.
But the scrum had been awarded when Mr Watson missed Ben Kay being pulled down in the lineout and instead gave a knock on against him. England could count themselves desperately unlucky.
So it was ironic that within a minute of time added on the Wallabies made the same play at an England lineout and this time England got the penalty and Wilkinson slotted it from 47m.
England came again and great defence kept them out but at the expense of another scrum on the 22 from which Wilkinson tried a drop goal and missed for the third time.
In the final period the home side got the nearest to a try they had been since the first minutes of the match. Tuqiri picked up a seeming forward pass from Mortlock, but Robinson clung on as he headed for the line.
England failed to clear completely though and soon offended at the ruck to give Flatley another chance to tie up the game with 150 seconds to go.
Sudden death looked a certainty, until that dramatic drop goal.
