Munster clash will be ‘all or nothing,’ insists Wilkinson

“ALL or nothing” – that’s how Toulon and England star Jonny Wilkinson is viewing Saturday’s showdown at Thomond Park with Munster after helping his side to a Heineken Cup opening round win against the Ospreys.

In a game littered with errors, penalties and aimless kicking, it was the re-born Wilkinson, who finally provided the difference to these two sides, when he sent his fellow compatriot Paul Sackey over in the corner with five minutes left.

“The problem with this tournament – and it’s a nice problem really – is that if you look at the group, there’s not going to be a great deal of sleep the night before the game,” joked Wilkinson afterwards. “We do know we’ll have to give 100%. It’s going to be all or nothing [at Thomond Park] or else we know we’re going to feel the pain.”
