After crossing for his team’s lone five-pointer in that game, Robinson is still the only Englishman to score a try in a Rugby World Cup final.
He acknowledges that he had watched parts of the game but not bothered to watch the entire thing again.
“I haven’t watched the game, but I always watch the clips of me sliding in, Jonny’s kick, and Johnno (Martin Johnson) lifting the trophy,” Robinson said to the PA news agency.
“All I’ve ever done is play games, and after I finish one, I move on to the next one. That has been my life. Most likely, I’ve been trained not to become emotionally invested in any one game.
We’ll definitely turn it on and watch the entire thing eventually since, ironically, my eight-year-old wants to watch the final.
Certain games may seem superior to you at first glance. You realize that you weren’t that fantastic when you saw them! That may be what I’m seeing in the 2003 game.
Robinson has given the moment that changed his life a lot of thought.
It was difficult for your life to remain unchanged. When you return, you can observe the effects it has had on fans and grassroots sports,” he remarked.
“You’re receiving honors and visiting Downing Street and Buckingham Palace.You go somewhere and can’t buy a pint – everyone wants to buy you a drink – and you’re not paying for restaurant bills.
“We were receiving significantly more recognition than ever before and we were exposed in a way that we had never experienced before.
“That was good because it was the first time we had won anything since 1966, and it gave rugby a massive boost.” We had a great time as players, and it led to many more opportunities.
“It’s a rare day when I don’t hear from someone who says, ‘I remember where I was when.'”
“And they begin sharing the tales of what it meant to them and the actions they took as a consequence.” That merely demonstrates how much of an influence it has had, even after 20 years.
