give the guy a break. good luck to him i say. if he­ doest like france he can come play for us in­ dubai....well at least until he gets injured again­ anyway....

Jonny Wilkinson made 'a comeback' on the last­ Lions tour. He's a superb kicker, but unless he is­ 110% fit, he simply can't play in the outfield.­ Always a risk for any team, but he must be worth 12-15­ points per game for any team through penalties alone.

He is stuck in a nasty circle, has been since he won­ the world cup in 2003,It must make sense to break that­ nasty little circle and move abroad.He has given his­ all for club and country more than anyone I can think­ of.Good move jonny and good luck.

Neil Jenkins never suffered anything like the same­ ammount of injuries as Wilkinson, truth be told,­ Wilkinson WAS an average to good fly half playing for­ what WAS a good England side. now, he's a washed up­ injured fly half making the most of his marketable name­ in search of one final pay day... good luck Jonny,­ I'd do the same!

good luck johnny!

Wilko will use his natural football skills and i hope­ therefore advoid injury.
Premeirship rugby i think is­ mostley about monster collision and less skill unlike­ super 14

nobody is doubting how good wilkinson was, the fact is­ he has not played consistently well since 2003. No­ player can survive on reputation alone.

Well said Colin H
Too many twats having their say who­ don`t take the bumbs as Wilko has!!!!
10 is hardest­ position enough,especially in the pro collision game

Get off Jonnys back guys, this man is no ponce­ footballer he never shirked a tackle, in fact that was­ his problem he gave 100%. I for one wish him well and­ good luck, 2003 people, i still watch the game now and­ again on dvd, bloody brilliant. Thanks Jonny.

Im a toulon fan and i for one aint happy with them­ buying a crocked star where's the sense in that ??

the barbarians squad from december;
Rocokoco, Shane­ Williams, Habana, McCaw, Burger, Steyn, Matfield­ etc
lost to australia
doesnt matter if you have a dream­ team, if you dont get the combinations right, youre­ never goin to be the best
New Zealand have proven this­ continually

if its not owen from the toon or wilkinson from the­ falcons we seem to be the biggest mugs up here, there­ sick notes between them could pay off the nations ­ debt. We pay there wages just to see them move on when­ they are fit jeez what mugs we are.

Toulon are now the proud owners of two crocked­ outhalves. Contepomi is out for at least 5 months and­ possibly more, while we all know Wilkinson is never­ going to going to manage a full season without injury.

I think this is a poor move by wilkinson. He obviously­ does not have much time left in his playing career, and­ while he has done all there is at international level,­ all those years at newcastle has left him without any­ club honours. I am sure any high flying trophy winning­ club like leicester or toulouse would have been­ delighted to have a fit johnny in their ranks. Going­ for relegation battlers like toulon instead is a move­ which i think he may live to regret.

I completely agree with j.saunders. Good man.

English rugby has some serious issues to deal with.­ What with the trickle of players going to France­ threatening to become a torrent and the amount of­ players not qualified for England in the Guinness, they­ run the risk of having to play individuals who do not­ start for their clubs or play overseas and cannot train­ regularly with the England Squad. Can't be good !
