Wilkinson steps off international stage

JONNY WILKINSON — the fly-half superstar and perfectionist who kicked England to World Cup glory — last night quit Test rugby with the revelation: “I will never truly be satisfied.”

Wilkinson has called time on an international career that harvested 91 England caps, six British and Irish Lions Test appearances and a total of 1,246 points.

The 32-year-old also played in four World Cups, including the 2003 campaign Down Under when his drop goal 17 seconds from the end of extra time in the final broke Australian hearts in Sydney.
