“I 100% scored that try.” Mark Cueto says before the question has been fully asked. “There’s not a doubt in my mind.”
The former England and British & Irish Lions wing is talking about a moment that now defines his 19-year career in the sport. It came three minutes into the second half of the 2007 World Cup final against South Africa. After a Matthew Tait burst, a whirled Andy Gomarsall pass was tipped on by Jonny Wilkinson five metres from South Africa’s line. Cueto, hugging the left wing, had to pause to gather the ball before diving for the corner just as Danie Rossouw lunged across to make the tackle.
