Who is the best kicker in RWC? John Wilkinson or Chris Patterson?
I think it's an unfair comparison - what annoys me is people critiscising Scotland for kicking their way to victory over Italy. Ultimately, if Aus or NZ had a kicker of Paterson's percentage on the field, then they could have reversed their results.
At the moment, Paterson is a better place kicker, but Jonny is better at getting his team the win in close games. Both are matchwinners - in completely different cases.

Wilkinson has a kick, half way line, to the right, wet windy day. He kicks for the posts misses. 0%
Patterson has the same kick. Line out.
Stats lie.

So, in other words Wilkinson takes on an overly difficult kicks, misses and throws a chance away. Patterson gains teritory and creates a scoring opportunity.
Again, who's the better player?
