Jonny WILKINSON - England - 2007 World Cup (Final)

The pictures above show Jonny during England's 15-6 defeat to South Africa in the 2007 Rugby World Cup final.

Although never quite at his best during this World Cup, Wilkinson still managed to kick his goals when the pressure was greatest.

He missed the first couple of games due to injury and it is surely no coincedence that there was a dramatic upturn in England's

fortunes once he was restored to the side.
