Wilkinson plays down Tour chances

Saracens 12 Toulon 24

Man-of-the-match Wilkinson, possibly making his final appearance at Twickenham, kicked seven penalties and a late drop-goal to set up an all-French decider against Clermont Auvergne at the Aviva Stadium on May 18.

It was a stunning display that prompted bookmakers to slash odds on his inclusion in the Lions squad which will be announced tomorrow, but the 33-year-old urged the tourists’ coach Warren Gatland to look elsewhere.
