    Jonny Wikinson isn't a human

    I've admired many rugbymen since I know this godly game : Gallion, Blanco, Sella, Umaga, George Smith, Naas Botha, Van Der Westuysen, Gregan, Galthié at the end of his career...
    ...but something like Jonny Wilkinson, I've never seen.

    He comes from elsewhere, maybe the planet Zorch.

    He sure broke our heart a few years back.

    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

        Well the best British half ever.

        I've never been comfortable comparing a half to a Prop to a winger etc.

          The best flyhalf ever then.

              Really Him, Dan Carter or Ella, I can't separate them. And I am certain there would have been some great ones in 20s and 30s.

                Dan Carter was a better athlete, but Wilkinson was a better impact player. He literally won championships with his brain and foot.


                Cheers,

                  As did Mark Ella, I seem to recall.

                      Drop with the right foot in his last match, to win the H CUP, just like in 2003.

                          I agree Michael. All things considered I regard Jonny Wilkinson as the best flyhalf ever.

                            There you have it...not the best rugby player perhaps, but an almost godly fly-half...

                            All the best

                            PSS Someone whispered to me that DVV had changed his Scotch...that's akin to the Pope converting to C of E surely? David...tell me it's not true?

                            All the best
