  Rugby: England in World Cup final
Updated 16 November 2003, 10.50
 Jonny Wilkinson kicked all of England's points
England have won a place in the Rugby World Cup final against Australia after beating France 24-7 in the semi final.

Fly-half Jonny Wilkinson was once again the hero for England, scoring all 24 of his team's points.

He kicked five penalties and three drop goals for England, while France twice had players sin-binned in the match.

England prop Jason Leonard set a world record in the match, coming on as a replacement to become the most capped player ever, with 112 appearances.

Like Wales in the quarter final England were outscored in tries by their opponents, after flanker Serge Betson crossed in the early stages.

France had no answer to England's forwards, who controlled most of the ball, and some great tactical kicking kept France in their own half for much of the game.
