Jonny Wilkinson

With reports that Jonny Wilkinson is set to retire from professional rugby at the end of the season, Betfair Sportsbook has released special odds on the fly-half’s life after rugby.

According to Jonny: Freddie Burns and George Ford need international action now to handle the "quantum leap" of a World Cup campaign. England's World Cup preparations would take a hit if there was no top-level European club competition next season.

Jonny Wilkinson believes that his role as an unofficial coach at Toulon could help extend his career.

Exeter travel to France and reigning Heineken Cup champions Toulon this Saturday, for a return fixture of last weekend’s game at Sandy Park, and head coach Rob Baxter has backed the talented winger Jack Nowell as the man to solve England’s Six Nations selection dilemma.

Exeter youngsters Jack Nowell and Henry Slade, both with standout performances, could not help their side to victory against reigning Heineken Cup champions Toulon at Sandy Park on Saturday.
