Which rugby union player scored four tries in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final?

The story behind the answer

No player scored four tries in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final.

The final between Australia and England was a tightly fought match decided in extra time. England won 20–17 at Stadium Australia in Sydney, with Jason Robinson scoring England’s only try. Australia’s points came from a try by Wendell Sailor and successful kicks by Elton Flatley.

The question is framed around an exact match fact: neither side produced a four-try performance, and no individual player came close to that total. England’s winning points included Jonny Wilkinson’s drop goal in extra time, one of the most famous moments in Rugby World Cup history.

This should not be confused with matches in which a player scored four tries in a Rugby World Cup game, or with team totals in high-scoring pool matches. The 2003 final was a low-scoring contest with only two tries overall.
