[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 284837"] Yes but only sparingly as a player-coach for London Irish. He ruled himself out of any international rugby after the 2007 RWC. As for the debate over fly half, I think it is very blatantly clear that its Wilko who is going to be at 10. I didn't say he [i]deserves[/i] to be at ten but thats just how its going to be. I mean, you've got lots of tens out there: Lamb, (Andy) Goode, Cipriani, Flood, Wilkinson, Myler, Gerahty and even guys like Alex Goode or Billy Twelvetrees or whatever his name is for Leicester. Theres lots of choice out there right now but I think that Johnno would have been better opting for a Wilko, Geraghty, Lamb line up as at least two out of those three can play at center as well. Thats why I think the whole Care - Wilkinson - Geraghty - Hipkiss axis has legs. Finally we'll have a great balance of brains and brawn that Wilko needs outside of him to stop him from panicking [i]al la[/i] Wales during Six Nations 2008. What is genuinely exciting is the idea of having at more dynamic talent in the pack with guys like Lawes and Croft in there. Not sure about Moody though but then again I never am... [/QUOTE]
