[QUOTE="Aristodemus, post: 563121, member: 56633"] Yoe, In the various sections of the media explosion that was the WC2003, Wilkinson was projected as the man that was winning games almost single-handed. It wasn't the case at all, we were world class in a number of positions and Wilkinson was just one cog in the machine. I don't criticise him in any way for this but it does stick in my mind when thinking about his career. As for the WC itself, I think the performance of our team varied hugely based on when Hill was in and out the side. He is the guy I would single out but again it was a 15 man machine. That is why people would say he was over-rated in that campaign, perhaps not something a person outside the UK would appreciate. [/QUOTE]
