Rugby: Paul plays down England Rugby Union talk

Bradford Bulls’ Kiwi cracker Henry Paul, the subject of a three-way tussle for his services, today warned he will not be rushed into making a decision on his future.

The 27-year-old New Zealand international, who is out of contract in November, is said to be high on the wanted list of England rugby union coach Clive Woodward, who has instructed the RFU to table a five-year deal worth almost stg£1million.
