Nick EASTER - England - 2007 World Cup (Final)

The main photo above shows Nick in an unfamiliar kicking pose during England's 15-6 defeat to South Africa

in the 2007 Rugby World Cup final. The other pictures are also during the final. Easter, who came into the

tournament as a 6 cap novice at international level, was one of England's leading performers and played a

major role in the remarkable turnaround in their fortunes which so very nearly led to World Cup glory.
