Neil Back: This young England side are good enough to get to the World Cup final – and maybe even win it

My dream World Cup final would be the team ranked No 1 in the world, New Zealand, playing the hosts, England, at Fortress Twickenham. And it’s better than a dream, because I can see it happening, and I’m excited just thinking about it. In fact this is the most excited I’ve been about any World Cup, which might surprise you considering that in 2003 I was playing in a team that won it. Back then, I had pure tunnel vision, just concentrating on the next job, the next match. I had no chance to take the whole thing in until after the party.
