Backing from Becks as England launch bid against Georgia

JONNY Wilkinson will launch England's World Cup bid against Georgia next Sunday boosted by a good luck message from David Beckham.

Fly-half Wilkinson and England football captain Beckham recently appeared in a television advert for sportswear giant adidas.

"He has been very supportive, and passed on his best," said Wilkinson, who will line up in a full-strength England side for their Pool C opener at Subiaco Oval.
