Johnno alive and kicking after RWC

FORMER England manager Martin Johnson surprised members of the Irish media at an Irish Olympic Council briefing in London yesterday.

The giant walked past the group, still wearing an England tracksuit top, on his way to a five-a-side game of soccer at the Lensbury Hotel, in west London.

Togging out beside some of the members of his England management team and donning a tightly fitting bib, he took part in a gruelling workout showing none of the ill effects of a traumatising few weeks.
