EDDIE JONES has been confirmed as technical advisor to the South Africa national side until the end of their World Cup campaign.

Jonny Wilkinson admits he is “bitter” after almost 30 months of injury setbacks since he kicked the drop goal that clinched victory in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final, but insists he will be back and better than ever.

COACH Eddie O’Sullivan believes the ongoing battle between Ronan O’Gara and David Humphreys for the number-10 position is one of the real plus points as Ireland build up to the Six Nations and, hopefully, the 2003 World Cup.
