England's pack prepare for the game's first scrummage Ten years after England and Australia met in the final of the World Cup, BBC Sport Online's Phil Harlow lists just what England's nearly men are doing today. Two evenly-matched teams lined up with rugby legends such as Jeremy Guscott, David Campese, Mike Teague and Michael Lynagh all on display in the high-pressure atmosphere of a World Cup final. Despite their immense pack of forwards and the support of a sell-out Twickenham crowd, England could simply not get past the Australian defence and went on to lose the match 12-6.
