Wilkinson shrugs off loss of Farrell

JONNY WILKINSON has warned England they must shake off the loss of Andy Farrell and get on with the job of defeating Australia.

The fly half, whose drop goal famously won the World Cup in Sydney four years ago, urged his teammates to be ruthless after Farrell withdrew from tomorrow’s quarter-final with a calf injury.

Wilkinson said: “It’s not an ideal scenario and it’s tough for Andy. It’s hugely disappointing for him and us.
