Joe WORSLEY - England - 2007 World Cup (Final)

The photo above shows Joe 'taking one for the cause' from Schalk Burger during England's 15-6 defeat to

South Africa in the 2007 Rugby World Cup final. Worsley, who appeared as a 62nd minute replacement for

Lewis Moody in the final, will be best remembered from the tournament for his last ditch tap tackle on

Vincent Clerc that saved a certain try in England's semi-final victory against France.
