The Vault England 32 Australia 31, November 2002

A third consecutive victory over the reigning world champions represented a significant step along the road to Clive Woodward’s England lifting the Webb Ellis Cup 12 months on. Typically tenacious and resilient, the Wallabies scored three tries either side of half-time through Elton Flatley – who bagged a brace – and Wendell Sailor to open up a 25-16 advantage after Ben Cohen had put the hosts ahead early on. However, totemic skipper Martin Johnson and his powerful pack hauled England back into contention. James Simpson-Daniel, also the architect of Cohen’s first, stood at first receiver and sent the Northampton Saints wing over for his 18th try in 20 Tests. Matt Burke missed a penalty for Australia in a manic finale but England held on to claim the Cook Cup, extending their unbeaten Twickenham run to 17 matches.
