Without Johnny Wilkinson... Is there even an ENGLAND team?

Question

Mind you... hes the only one that scores the points most of the time.. The others are just there to pass him the ball.

Answer 1

not really , no

Answer 2

You obviously know nothing about rugby.

People that only bother about rugby during a world cup,and couldn't play if their life depended on it,like Hayden M, p**s off back to your football.

Answer 3

I think that oli barkley could do just as gd if wilkinson wast there

Answer 4

He is a very good player, but to suggest he is the reason for England winning world cups is over the top. Take it the other way, if he played for Tonga, would we be saying anything other than he is a good kicker... you need your team to get a good player into a position to rack up those points.

Answer 5

Like loti tuqiri said before the qfinal. Quote: England has only got 1 world class back, and that is Jason Robinson. I coulded agree more. Johnny Wilkinson, wats his kicking percentage  like 65% at best so far this tourney pathetic. The only reason he scores all there points is because England cant score a try and  Johnny is the only 1 that takes the kicks.

Answer 6

There is no way England would be a world class rugby side without Wilkinson. Hence why they lost 36-0 to SA and strugggled to beat the USA when he was not there. Without Johnny, England suck bad.

Answer 7

Okay, so he can kick and does seem to score the most points, but on the day, the English defended well and they were all over the Aussies........hence, the lack of discipline, hence the penalties................takes more than one guy to do that!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

One man does not a team make....... The english pack played great attacking rugby and you don't need to score tries to win it is the scores on the doors at the final whistle that counts. England are not the current world champions for no reason.......................... come on Argentina !!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

No, Wilkinson is the team. With him in the line up, opposing defenses have to Try to contain him, usually leaving Robinson open on the wing. Without Jonny, the defense spreads out, and all the England backs suffer. Jonny Wilkinson = World Beaters

Answer 10

Everyone forgets how good a defensive player Wilko is.

Sure he can kick a bladder through some sticks but do you ever pay any attention to his defense??

Johnny WiIlkinson is the most impressive first five/fly half in the world as far as tackling is concerned. I used to criticise him as he kicked his team to victory until I started to watch him closely. That boy can make a hit and he always steps up to tackle anybody no matter who they are. This is probably why he is injured so often, also because he is targeted.

Edit:

Excuse me Hayden M why am I an idiot?

If you are going to insult us at least spell our names correctly. Also how are we a "bunch" of idiots?? Two people make a pair, you need around four of five people/objects to create a bunch.

Wilkinson is a great defender, any rugby expert would agree on that. How does the English team suck if it they are in the semi-finals???

d4 I know I didn't answer your question but I get tired of people saying WIlkinson is useless and is only good for his goal kicking. He is a fine player. Yes I do agree with you, England would not have made the QF without him and they probably wouldn't of won the RWC in 2003 either.

Answer 11

johnboy and wleshchick are a bunch of idiots, any ways it wouldnt matter if he is in the team the english still suck.
