Jonny Kicks England To Glory - Again


England have beaten Australia in a thrilling rugby World Cup quarter-final - and will meet the French in the semis after they, too, won a gripping tie against New Zealand. Kicking star Jonny Wilkinson scored all the English points as the defending champions clung on for a 12-10 victory in Marseilles.The number 10 returned to haunt the Aussies and kicked four penalties to secure victory in a tense match.

He scored a drop goal with the last kick of the game four years ago against Australia to win the World Cup.

England will now play France who came back from a 13-0 deficit at half-time against tournament favourites New Zealand to win 20-18. (Sky News)
