Jonny Wilkinson Rugby Quotations

To make this announcement fills me with great sadness, but I know I have been blessed in so many ways to have experienced what I have with the England rugby team.

I never ever believed that I would be able to give up on this dream which has driven me to live, breathe, love and embrace the game of rugby from the earliest days that I can remember.

But he hasn't. Please. As I've tried to explain, let's not create any headlines. Let him go off and enjoy his rugby and we'll see what happens.

I'm very happy to be back playing rugby for England again - there were times when I questioned if this would happen.
