England may have lost their first autumn international but Jonny Wilkinson was Herculean on his return according to Paul Hayward in The Observer.
"Jonny Wilkinson spoke for so long in answer to Sky's post-match questions that he almost wrecked Rupert Murdoch's evening schedules. The words flow so freely because the joy of being back in an England shirt is a thrill he thought he might not feel again.
The news from Twickenham is that England lost the first of their three autumn internationals after failing to score from the 26th minute onwards and that Wilkinson was Herculean in his first November Test since 2002. After 13 injuries and seven years out of these early-winter bust-ups with the southern hemisphere, he would have been excused for creeping back into the light."
