Lawrence Dallaglio is putting up for auction the medal he received after England's 2003 World Cup victory. The match, which was won 20-17 after extra time against Australia in Sydney, is remembered as one of the most dramatic in rugby history. The auction will take place on October 13, with an estimated price range of between 50,000 and 80,000 pounds. Along with the 2003 World Cup medal, the collection includes his 2007 World Cup finalist medal, the 2003 Six Nations medal, several awards from his time with the Wasps, and his England and Lions caps. The entire collection could reach approximately 180,000 pounds. The sale comes as Dallaglio, who was declared bankrupt in 2025, has faced significant financial difficulties for several months. Dallaglio played every minute of England's campaign during the 2003 World Cup, a tournament where he became a central figure. Along with Richard Hill and Neil Back, he formed a back row that became one of the defining features of the England team. He had previously won a World Cup in sevens rugby in 1993. With the Wasps, his only top-level club, he added five English league titles and two European Cups to his career achievements. The 2003 World Cup medal is unique because it belongs to the only men's England team that has ever become world champions. It was presented to Dallaglio the same evening as the final, on November 22, 2003, after a match that lasted 100 minutes and is almost as well-known among English rugby fans as the result itself. The game, which was decided in extra time, is often remembered for its intensity and significance in the sport's history. On October 13, a buyer will have the chance to own a very tangible piece of the peak of English rugby. The auction represents not only a significant moment in Dallaglio's personal history but also a chance for collectors to own a piece of rugby history. The event is expected to draw interest from both sports enthusiasts and collectors looking for rare and meaningful memorabilia.
