Wilkinson weary after World Cup final

Jonny Wilkinson claimed the England team had been on “a hell of a journey” after they relinquished their World Cup crown to South Africa.

The fly-half kicked two penalties at Stade de France but his efforts were in vain as Percy Montgomery booted four of his own, with Francois Steyn adding a long-range fifth to seal the win for the Springboks.
