Wilkinson defends England's kickers
Jonny Wilkinson has defended his England team-mates after an inability to convert their goal-kicking chances was instrumental as the team slumped to defeat against France in the RBS 6 Nations at Twickenham.
Goalkickers Charlie Hodgson and Olly Barkley missed six penalties between them as France wiped out a 17-6 interval deficit and recorded their first victory at Twickenham since 1997.
