Jonny Wikinson isn't a human

[DVV]

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.

[John Wheat]

Jonny Wilkinson the best rugby union player ever.

Jonny Wilkinson the best rugby union player ever.

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.

[GUT]

The best flyhalf ever then.

Well one of.

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.

[The Good Michael]

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

As did Mark Ella, I seem to recall.

[GUT]

But I repeat Johnny Wilkinson broke my heart a few years ago.

[DVV]

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

[GUT]

They should have cut his foot off and bronzed it

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

Cheers John

[Cogidubnus]

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

And of course what about the great Jonah.
