England captain Owen Farrell breaks Jonny Wilkinson's record to become his country's all-time leading points scorer.
Farrell kicked an 18th-minute penalty in England's World Cup Pool D match against Samoa to reach 1,181 points and surpass Wilkinson's record.
Taking British and Irish Lions points into account, Wilkinson remains ahead of Farrell on the all-time international points list for now, but the gap is closing.
