2003 Rugby World Cup knockout stage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The knockout stage at the 2003 Rugby World Cup featured the eight teams that qualified from the pool stage (the top two teams from each of the four pools), competing in a single-elimination tournament. The stage began with the quarter-final between New Zealand and South Africa in Melbourne on 8 November 2003, and concluded with the final between Australia and England at Stadium Australia in Sydney on 22 November. England won the final 20–17 after extra time, thanks to a last-minute drop goal from fly-half Jonny Wilkinson.
