Wilkinson injury scare for England

Jonny Wilkinson was at the centre of an injury scare Monday as England gathered for the first time ahead of their autumn international Test series.

The Toulon fly-half will undergo a scan on Tuesday after complaining of soreness in his left shoulder, giving manager Martin Johnson a potential headache as England prepare to face New Zealand on November 6.

Wilkinson, the hero of England's 2003 World Cup triumph, has been ravaged by injuries since that career highpoint seven years ago.

However the playmaker has been in sparkling form for French outfit Toulon this season which had made him the early favourite to win a starting berth against the All Blacks at Twickenham.

Wilkinson is one of five England players nursing knocks as the opening match of the autumn international series looms closer. Wasps duo Riki Flutey and Simon Shaw both have calf problems, while Leeds flanker Hendre Fourie damaged ribs in a loss to Sale on Friday night and Bath prop David Wilson has a back injury.

England manager Martin Johnson set a target of two wins from five autumn Tests

England manager Martin Johnson was last night set a target of two wins from his team’s four Tests this autumn.

John Steele, the new chief executive of the Rugby Football Union, said a realistic expectation was for Johnson’s men to beat one of New Zealand, Australia and South
Africa, plus secure a victory against Samoa.

Steele said: ‘Playing the top three teams in the world and Samoa is probably a harder group of games than you’d face in most World Cup runs.

He added: ‘Once we’ve had the internationals we’ll do what all high performing organisations do in sport and analyse what we did, where we can improve and what it
means for the next milestone, which is the Six Nations.’

The Sale prop has not represented England since the end of last year’s Six Nations because of a shoulder injury, but is desperate to win his place back.

Brewer said: ‘If he gets a full week in this week, then if he comes back to us and we start him against London Irish, that’ll get him in half-decent shape for New Zealand. ‘If he can last for 40 to 50 minutes against the All Blacks, I’m sure the England manager will be happy.’

Moody had hoped to return tomorrow at his old club, Leicester, but that has been ruled out and he is in line to play next week at Harlequins. Fourie, like Sheridan, had a curtailed pre-season due to a calf operation after he was injured on England’s summer tour, but the South African-born flanker has still played in six of Leeds’s seven games.

Wales have added Dragons wing Aled Brew to their training squad. Ireland will be without Marcus Horan after the Munster prop broke a hand.

Rugby: France say 'non' to Test trips for England players

Player release for Test duty is rugby's broken record which was meant to have stopped turning, but this week the needle has started jolting around to deliver the same old tunes yet again.

This is the third year of the agreement between the RFU and the Premiership elite, so the England management have their access and the clubs have their compensation.

There is peace on the home front but trouble across the Channel, where Jonny Wilkinson, Tom Palmer and James Haskell ply their trade.

The trio based in France were required to guarantee that their club contracts contained permission to remain at Martin Johnson's disposal for that whole period, and those assurances were duly provided.

However, the French clubs - who receive no money for releasing players outside official Test windows - are demanding some give and take.

Yet while Stade appear ready to accept they don't have a leg to stand on, Toulon are sounding notes of defiance. All the while, the RFU maintain there is no issue, as the players have pledged that they can fulfil all England requirements.

That should be the end of the matter, but in reality it is not, of course. The clubs can make life awkward, as Stade did by dropping Haskell for a key game upon his return from the Six Nations last season.

England manager Martin Johnson could release one or more of the trio for their club matches on October 30, but is only likely to do so if they are not in his matchday plans and all three should be in the 22 to face the All Blacks.

So the antagonism will continue unless action is taken. Perhaps the RFU should consider making gesture payments to French clubs who are asked to co-operate, in order to appease them. As Wilkinson is poised to sign for at least another year with Toulon, such an arrangement would make sense.

France is one of the strongest rugby nations in Europe and is currently the highest ranked. Rugby was introduced to France in 1872 by the British, and on New Year's Day 1906 the national side played its first Test match against New Zealand in Paris.

France played sporadically against the Home Nations until they joined them to form a Five Nations tournament in 1910. France also competed in the rugby competitions at early Summer Olympics, winning the gold medal in 1900 and two silver medals in the 1920s.

France came of age during the 1950s and 1960s, and won their first Five Nations title outright in 1959. They won their first Grand Slam in 1968.

Scottish Rugby Union is the governing body of rugby union in Scotland. It is the second oldest Rugby Union, being founded in 1873.

Scottish Football Union was founded on Monday 3rd March 1873 at a meeting held at Glasgow Academy, Elmbank Stret, Glasgow. The SFU was a founding member of the International Rugby Board in 1886 with Ireland and Wales.

In 1924 the SFU changed its name to become the Scottish Rugby Union. International games were played at Inverleith from 1899 to 1925 when Murrayfield was opened.
