Don't kick Jonny

England captain Lewis Moody accepts some of the blame for Jonny Wilkinson's mixed kicking performance against Scotland, in the Mail on Sunday.

"I know people will be pointing the finger at Jonny Wilkinson after he missed a few kicks but there is one thing I won't spend one second doubting and that's Jonny's ability to kick goals.

"I blame myself a little for his statistics against Scotland. He is the sort of goal-kicker who always backs himself, always says he will nail it.

"But, looking back, there were one or two penalties against Scotland when I should have told him to kick for the corner rather than trying for three points."
