Barnes primed for Jonny duel

IF Jonny Wilkinson thinks he is the most intense fly-half in the world then he should take a look at the number 10 lining up against him at the Stade Velodrome on Saturday.

Australia’s Berrick Barnes is young, blond and appears to have the demeanour of a man who has just stepped off Bondi Beach.

But get this, he practices his kicking on Christmas Day, just like Wilkinson.
