Woodward backs Johns union move

Clive Woodward has backed the continued pursuit of rugby league’s greatest talents as the New South Wales Rugby Union close in on the signing of superstar Australian half-back Andrew Johns.

Considered the finest rugby league player in the world, Johns has been targeted to play fly-half for Super 12 side the NSW Waratahs, where he would join forces with fellow cross-code recruits Lote Tuqiri and Mat Rogers.
