In 2003 England defeated reigning champions Australia to clinch the Rugby World Cup in one of the most thrilling sporting finals of all time. It was the first and only time that a team from the Northern Hemisphere has won the games top prize, and was the culmination of a journey that began when rugby players still had everyday jobs! Spanning the course of a decade, this unique documentary portrays the games momentous transformation from amateurism to professionalism. It explores the wide-reaching global changes this brought, both on and off the field, as the old guard of ex-amateurs gave way to a new breed of consummate professional exemplified by Jonny Wilkinson "the man with the golden boot".
