Speaking on Stan Sport’s Between Two Posts, Hooper said the momentum building in English rugby reminds him of their march to the 2003 title – when Jonny Wilkinson’s famous extra-time drop goal stunned the Wallabies in Sydney. “This English team … they’re going to be right at the pointy end come 2027,” Hooper said. “History has a funny way of repeating itself, so it really could be an England-Australia final.” England are riding a hot streak, unbeaten since February and on a run…
