Writing in the Sunday Express, Sir Ian McGeechan offers his thoughts on the forthcoming World Cup.
"England are going to be a handful because I cannot see too many teams are going to be able to dominate them up front, and will be looking to make the most of that platform.
"Although saying that South Africa did it last autumn but Martin Johnson and his coaches will know that certainly in a World Cup tournament they have got to have that right.
"Jonny Wilkinson has come through the warm up games in good shape and I would start with him. When you are playing in the World Cup you need to be playing the game in the right areas.
"And that’s what they did well when they won the tournament in 2003. Jonny knows how to take pressure off the team, if you need to be playing in your opponent’s half he can do that."
