EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph captured by Colorsport Images, we witness the defining moment of the 2003 Rugby World Cup Final. Jonny Wilkinson, the legendary English rugby player, stands with unwavering focus as he watches his drop-goal soar towards the posts. The tension in his face is palpable, reflecting not only his personal determination but also the hopes and dreams of an entire nation. The match between England and Australia was a fierce battle that had reached its climax in injury time. With both teams locked at 17-17, it all came down to this one pivotal kick. As Wilkinson's boot connects with the ball, time seems to stand still for a brief moment. The crowd holds their breath collectively as they anxiously await its trajectory. This image captures more than just a sporting triumph; it encapsulates resilience and sheer willpower. It represents years of dedication and sacrifice culminating in one extraordinary act that would forever etch Jonny Wilkinson's name into rugby history. Telstra Stadium (now known as Stadium Australia) serves as the backdrop for this unforgettable scene - a venue filled with roaring spectators who witnessed greatness unfold before their eyes on that fateful day in Sydney. Colorsport photographer Matt Lewis has masterfully frozen this split-second moment for eternity, allowing us to relive the intensity and emotion experienced by players and fans alike during one of rugby union's most memorable moments ever recorded on film.
