Johnson playing ‘double-jeopardy’

ENGLAND manager Martin Johnson admits he is playing a game of “double-jeopardy” as the Guinness Premiership and Heineken Cup reach their climax.

Johnson is in the frustrating position of trying to plan England’s summer Test series against Argentina knowing he could lose players both to injury and to the Lions.

Leicester fly-half Toby Flood has already been ruled out for six months after damaging his Achilles in the Tigers’ Heineken Cup semi-final victory over Cardiff Blues last weekend.
