UK red label press reporting…

Wilkinson actually said, the balls that were used inn training were completely different to the ones that were used on match day. The Argentine kicker missed 21 points,against England. The standard of goal kicking in the RWC was P**s poor and with the exception of Weepu, Wilko, ROG, O’Connor,et al,had a shocker.

The Kiwis didn’t want teams to be able to kick their goals, because it would give them a better chance of winning the world cup FACT.

@Chris4Lions(Chris4Lions)-9: I think Johhny hadnt visited the local pub for practice when this interview was done. So he was a bit angry someone got in the way of his first pint.

Its funny that little Johnny is the only kicker who complained about the balls. IF Frans Steyn can kick it over from 64 and 60 meters. Imagine if the balls “are perfect” the way Johnny wants it, how far Steyn can kick it then??

Little Johnny can go and cry somewhere else if he cant kick with the same balls.

@daydreamer(daydreamer)-5: Morne Steyn missed two penalties that would have seen the Boks into the 1/4's?

Morne Steyn said the balls were fine. England should have had their points from the Georgia match deducted for illegally putting non world cup balls on the field. Wilko is just another whining pom.

Instead the IRB decide to fine France for opposing the haka and players for having branding on their mouth guards.

I agree not all rugby balls are the same for goalkicking, but i always remember Diego Dominguez when Italy played being brilliant at kicking with both the mitre and the gilbert balls. Wilkinson used the same ball as the opposition so technically its evens. wilkinsons goal kicking in the last 4 years overall has been poor anyway he should have retired after the 2007 world cup at least going out on a high with a game in the final. Regarding bad behaviour thats what happens when players get it into their heads that they are commodities!
