Wilkinson looking to book spot on tour of New Zealand

Patience looks to have paid off for Connacht’s South African born prop forward Brett Wilkinson, whotomorrow night will be playing for a place in Ireland’s party for the tour to New Zealand.

Wilkinson lines out for Ireland in a prep game against the Barbarians in Bristol and rightly views the game as a final trial.

“I’m just concentrating on the match for now, but I would like to think I might make the trip to New Zealand as a result.
