Time for England to deliver

CLIVE WOODWARD yesterday issued a confident and upbeat message to English fans ahead of tomorrow’s World Cup showdown with France at Telstra Stadium.

England have not exactly marched imperiously to the penultimate knockout stage, with South Africa, Samoa and latterly Wales providing fierce opposition.

But the dream of global supremacy so coveted by Woodward and his players is still alive, and victory over France would take England into just their second World Cup final.
