Wilkinson unfazed by fans’ high rate of expectancy

Jonny Wilkinson will spearhead England’s bid to regain the Calcutta Cup today, and admits: ‘‘I know people expect me to play well.’’

Wilkinson was just three-years-old when Scotland last won at Twickenham, a 22-12 triumph in 1983 orchestrated by their renowned half-back pairing of John Rutherford and Roy Laidlaw.
