Toulon boss ‘hopeful’ Wilkinson will be fit

Jonny Wilkinson looks set to be fit to play against Munster in Sunday’s Heineken Cup semi-final after coming through training without any reaction to a hamstring injury yesterday.

The 34-year-old, who hasn’t played since being forced off in the opening half of their 29-14 quarter-final win over Leinster, will be assessed as the week progresses.

But Toulon coach Bernard Laporte is confident Wilkinson would be fit for action in Marseille.
