Farewell - until next season
Presenters Davies and Wood
Jonathan Davies and Keith Wood prepare for next year
While this series of Rugby Special may have ended - fans of the game need not worry - the show will be back.

Rugby Special will return to your screens for the 2002-03 season.

More details will appear on BBC Sport Online's Rugby Union pages at a later date.

Until then, take a look back at this series' Top 10 moments.
