the official match report:
"Jonny Wilkinson was the hero for England with all of their points in a 24-7 defeat of France at a rain lashed Telstra Stadium in Sydney that ended their 12 year wait for a second Rugby World Cup final appearance.

The England fly half won the battle of the kickers with Frédéric Michalak, collecting three drop goals, two of them with his ‘wrong’ right foot, and five penalties to give England the chance to avenge the 12-6 defeat in the 1991 final by Australia at Twickenham."
