She'd been born 10 weeks early on September 12th, weighing 1lb 12oz. Had been in Neo Natal until a couple of days before the final. We decorated the nursery during our run to the final, in fact, somewhere beneath the paint, I scrawled "9th November 2003 England 28 Wales 17. We're going to win the World Cup!" When that Wilkinson drop goal left his boot, I jumped up and nearly knocked her on! 18 years later, she's a rugby player herself. Often ask her if she remembers when we won the World Cup. Her response usually involves England Roses and 2014.

Also extremely memorable was Eddie’s Australia playing utter filth for the tourno them exploding in the first half of the other semi vs the AB’s. Final? Watched the 80 mins but ET on the car radio collecting my daughter from a party. Andre Watson penalising England in the scrums for pushing the Aussies backwards, until Woodward sent the funbus on with instructions not to push….
