I'll never forget that awesome 2002-2003 England team. From the autumn internationals of 2002 through to the RWC win in November 2003 they were magnificent. I'll probably not see such a dominant England team again in my life, but thanks for the memories guys!

They played their best Rugby in the first 4 games of the 2001 6 Nations. Outplayed Wales, France, Scotland and Italy with a mixture of Barbarians style running rugby mixed with a strong scrum. Jason Robinson was beating 15-20 defenders a game and it was that Championship where New Zealand, South Africa and Australia suddenly paid attention to England as a credible threat. I guarantee if they played that way today they would have just as much success.

If they'd won that warm-up match in Marseille then they would have held the (as far as I know) unique record of having won their most recent home and away matches against ALL the major rugby nations - Argentina, Australia, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, Wales. I think New Zealand may have done it in the last few years but haven't checked. Anyway this was a great match and a brilliant England performance - the highlight for me was THAT rolling maul.

The Aussie try at the end would not have been given had they used the TMO as they do nowadays: the wingers boots were over the touch-in-goal line before he actually touched it down as the commentator suggested. Great rugby by the English - Thompson and his props were great ball carriers. Can't see that Neil Back would have been selected in the modern era either. Loved England's back three. Not impressed by Bracken's passing: it seemed that Jonny took the ball above his head virtually every time. Jonno immense, and Lawrence D too. Great stuff.

England (As mentioned in the commentary) were on a run of 13 wins before this game. After this game England only lost once through to after the World cup. The game England lost was a friendly away to France, where England fielded their reserves. England lost the game to a last minute score by the French. It's such a shame that had that last minute French score not occurred there would be no debate about this team being the best ever as they would have had the record for most consecutive wins.

If like me you came here for the famous rolling maul, it's on 46 minutes. Can anyone tell me whether it should have been a penalty try though? Looks like Gregan came in and stopped it from the side in desperation, and you can't do that, right? Can't blame him, just that it would have been awesome for that to have ended in a score!
